Ever since ETH fell thru the support level of $1740 it has been a falling knife.  Rumors abound about staked ETH being the culprit after losing the peg on Lido. Last 24 hours ETH has fallen by 13% and Bitcoin by 3%.  Liquidations above reflect the damage. This is the latest show to drop. 

 stETH is a derivative token backed 1:1 by ETH. Users who stake their ETH on the Lido Finance platform receive the staked derivative in return.

Some also say Celsius has exposure.  Celsius may or may not be running into liquidity issues, but they hold a significant amount of STETH which is used as collateral to borrow stablecoins.
If sold, this would definitely cause stETH’s secondary market value to decrease, at least temporarily. Many also say there is no death spiral issue... just a matter of sitting it out. eg ARB If 1 stETH is trading at a value of 0.70 ETH (30% discount) and Ethereum staking yield remains 4% APR in two years, your aggregate yield will have been 38% APR, rather than 8% as a normal staker. 

For me I have not DCA'd anything for quite some time now.  Not until I see clear signs of a bottom.

The irony of many of these comments is panic moves out of celcius would possibly be the type of thing that would be a self fulfilling prophecy, assuming they have some Achilles heel that I don't know about, they are supposedly over collaterized across the board but maybe some counterparty risk due to all this FUD and the rehypothecation, if those guys rugpull or exit scam then that could be an issue. Idk if anyone publicly knows who they rehypothecate with and what those risks are....personally I'm not concerned about celcius, I like Alex but I think sometimes he exaggerates a bit and deflects questions a little bit. Like for instance saying that no one else gives loans or something along those lines.

So I decided to go risk off with my ETH bag, that is still slightly in profit. Having done that a little earlier would have given me more profit, but I will wait patiently to go back in and buy the ETH dip to increase my bag.
