Justin Sun has recently shared his takes on his perceived investments in staking and liquid restaking platforms. In his conversation, he discounted the conversations regarding him making profits from large transactions. The Tron founder noted that he plays a role as an advisor to liquid restaking teams only.

He shared his vision for such passive income ventures, noting that they have what it takes to go global. He believes these platforms can go mainstream to serve as an important revenue avenues for international companies and institutions.

He foresees these groups embracing staking and restaking reinvesting the profit they take in to support users. The support might also extend to developers, and the community and foster prosperity and cooperation.

It remains unclear if Justin Sun was referring to a specific protocol or in general terms. The fund injection into Swell L2 shows he might be acting on his visions.

Liquid and Restaking Protocols Gaining Traction

With the constant evolution in the broader digital currency ecosystem, Ethereum-based liquid restaking ventures are taking center stage.

Protocols like Ether.fi and EigenLayer are at the top of the liquid restaking niche. With $15.53 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL), EigenLayer has risen to the position of the second-largest Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocol. Only Lido, a liquid staking protocol with $29.48 billion in TVL surpasses EigenLayer.

This growth within a short time and for a protocol that is just about to introduce its native token EIGEN underscores how the sentiment has shifted overall to different varieties of staking ventures.
