2 more of the 9 coins cleared the rule in four weeks. That is participation widening, not one name moving.
Measured at the median rather than the average, the theme is +19.0% versus Bitcoin over three months. Over four reported quarters the theme's protocol revenue grew 81% on average. The theme's participation profile is mixed, and it has not spread downward — 2 of 2 large coins are still doing the carrying.
When participation widens as protocol revenue improve, the cause usually sits in operating conditions rather than sentiment. The theme page carries revenue, margin, capex and debt per protocol.

Questions people ask about Liquid Staking
How is "beating Bitcoin" measured here?
A coin is counted when its three-month return beats Bitcoin by 5 percentage points or more. A theme is measured equal-weighted, so one large company cannot carry the average. The rule is the same every week and in every market.
How many coins in Liquid Staking are beating Bitcoin?
7 of 9 as of 2026-07-27, against 5 four weeks ago. The median member is +19.0% versus the index over three months.
What is Liquid Staking protocol revenue doing?
Growth in trailing 12-month protocol revenue for the theme is 47%, averaging 81% across the last four quarters.
Where does this data come from?
Daily closing prices and DefiLlama's protocol revenue series, rebuilt every weekday, and every figure carries its own as-of date. A coin has no earnings per share, so the fees a protocol keeps stand in its place — it is the nearest comparable figure, not the same one. Every number on the theme page traces to its source column.
