When we met the @alluvialfinance team, it was clear to us that they were the ones who were going to bring an institutional-grade liquid staking standard to life. With the increasing institutional interest in digital assets, this mission is more pertinent than ever.
We're thrilled that @galaxyhq has chosen to partner with them to build out the @liquid_col for broad industry participation in digital asset staking. Congratulations, and onwards!
1/ Today marks an important milestone for Liquid Collective: @galaxyhq has acquired @alluvialfinance, and will now assume the role as the Development Company for the protocol.
I can't think of a better steward for Liquid Collective! Let's go 🚀🚀🚀
I’m excited to share two big updates.
First, I’m stepping into a new role as the CEO for the Liquid Collective (@liquid_col)!
Second, @galaxyhq has acquired @alluvialfinance and is now the development company for the Liquid Collective. This partnership will strengthen the protocol through Galaxy’s depth of technical expertise, institutional distribution, and alignment across the digital asset ecosystem.
The thesis is straightforward - all staking will ultimately become liquid staking, and institutions are only just beginning to adopt on-chain infrastructure.
Liquid Collective is the enterprise standard for liquid staking with over $1B in assets, and with Galaxy’s institutional capabilities across liquidity, staking, asset management, and DeFi, we’re uniquely positioned to scale this ecosystem together.
My focus will be to expand the Collective and bring the next wave of institutional platforms on-chain.
Time to build !

Big news today. Galaxy has officially acquired Alluvial—marking a major new chapter for Liquid Collective and the future of enterprise-grade liquid staking.
7/
Liquid Collective will continue operating independently under The Liquid Foundation, ensuring neutrality, transparency, and institutional governance. That vision remains core.
8/
Proud of what we built at Alluvial. Even more excited for what comes next. Institutional liquid staking is just getting started. Let’s keep building. 🔵

In the early days of founding Alluvial, my Co-Founder @leisinmr sent all new hires copies of “One from Many", the story behind how @Visa established a collaborative advantage by bringing together competitors and collaborators in the early days.
The Liquid Collective (@liquid_col) was built around the fundamental principle that a network of incentive-aligned collaborators can create far more impact than any single company alone i.e. focus on growing the pie, not just your slice.
Being able to bring together, integrate and innovate with 50+ industry-leaders and investors, from Fortune 500s, to the Big 4 and leading DeFi protocols is the very best part of the job.
1/ The future of digital assets depends on building interoperable systems and fostering collaboration, even among competitors. We explore this core thesis in the latest post from Alluvial’s Co-Founder and CEO @MaraSchmiedt ⇩

WOW! @michaelselig is a generational talent and I'm not surprised in the least he's the leading contender to be the next CFTC chair. Although it would be a big loss for the SEC to lose him, it would be a big win for America and the crypto industry. subscriber.politicopro.com/a…

As we head into a critical period in the evolution of US cap mrkts, where crypto is finally being integrated into the financial system and SEC and CFTC harmonization is more important than ever, there is no one more qualified to lead the CFTC than @michaelselig
The CFTC needs to move quickly to address critical issues in market structure and bring perps and prediction markets into the regulatory fold. Judging from Mike's accomplishments from his time at the Crypto Taskforce, its clear he's got the ability to tackle hard issued head on.
Mike would also bring an unmatched understanding of derivatives laws, securities laws, and crypto at a point where all three are sorely needed.

TAM for @liquid_col’s LsETH in a separate league than other LSTs:
-DATs
-Staked ETH ETFs
-RIAs
-Retail focused exchanges requiring compliant staking experiences
-List goes on…
LC was purpose built for the imminent institutional wave of capital about to allocate to Ether
Insight from @ournetwork & @web3content re @liquid_col:
“Because $LsETH is a reward-bearing cToken, while $SBET’s $LsETH holdings have held steady since July 14, their redeemable $ETH value has increased by 16.4% over that same time.”

One LST problem down, on to the next. Time to make sure investors actually see what they hold and that LSTs get marked at fair market value.
Today, CCI, CCI’s @teamPOSA, and a broad industry coalition submitted a letter requesting accounting guidance for Liquid Staking Tokens. Why?

Heard of Liquid Collective's LsETH?
Their fast growth shows how quickly established DeFi playground can change when institutions get involved.
Thanks to @sharplink's DAT, LsETH has become the largest LST for $ETH.
It's coming to Aave as well.
lsETH by @liquid_col has reached $1.7B TVL and surpassed mETH to become the 4th largest ETH LST.
The main catalyst comes from @sharplink, which is now holding 70% ($1.2B) of the supply.
We’ve been building toward this day for a long time.
The SEC’s clarity unlocks a path to mainstream adoption of LSTs — grounded in user ownership, transparency, and security.
A major step forward for the ecosystem!
The question for institutions was never if, but when.
For liquid staking tokens, the answer is now.
With today’s statement from the SEC on LSTs providing regulatory clarity in the US that , the demand for compliant, scalable LSTs will surge.
Our enterprise-grade liquid staking network is ready to power what's next 🧵
