It's a whale's game with more than 60% of total shards going to the top 2000
The cutoff for top 2k is ~10M shards, or $25k put into a 10x pool from the start
Note: I didn't track shards given on L2's or gearbox, so actual cutoff likely somewhat higher
With the launch of staked ETH withdrawals earlier today, there has been much fear mongering with regards to withdrawals and the size of the withdrawal queue
~82,000 ETH ($155M) withdrawn in the last ~8h
But the more important question—where has that ETH gone?
(1/n)
How much ETH sold in total? 150.39 ETH (~$285k)
Thats
~0.18% of the total 82299 ETH withdrawn
~0.38% of the 39999 ETH withdrawn to EOA's

Unlike other PoS coins, ETH's supply issuance rate is not static—it increases as more ETH is staked to maintain an attractive enough staking APR.
How significant will the increased staking participation be post-Shanghai? Will ETH still be deflationary?

The ~1.15% annual inflation would imply 1,384K ETH issuance, *double* its current value.
At current burn rates, ETH would no longer be be deflationary but instead be slightly inflationary at ~0.26%/yr

UST is in such a fascinating place right now. The lower it goes, the more likely it is to return to peg... but the inverse holds true as well. Market still figuring out how to price it
Fixed-interest lending products will be game changing for institutional players (ie crypto hedge funds)—they don't want to risk USD interest rate spiking on compound/aave/etc, as it has again and again
I'm excited about both @yieldprotocol and @UMAprotocol implementing fixed rate lending facilities, but building up liquidity will be an uphill battle
@compoundfinance may be able to help 💪
