SYDNEY The IMF has slipped wstETH onto its platform with little noise, but the implications are big. Until now, IMF has been seen mainly as a meme-coin credit hub. By adding wstETH – they’re sending a clear signal: the Cartel is stepping into the wider credit space. This gives users access to leverage on high-quality collateral, not just speculative assets.
wstETH is Wrapped Staked Ether, a token that represents staked ETH from Lido in a simple, transferable format. Unlike regular ETH, it steadily grows in value as staking rewards compound, with many viewing it as one of the most reliable forms of collateral in DeFi.
Its inclusion on IMF is a quiet, strategic move that strengthens IMF’s foundation, broadening its reach – pointing toward a more expansive future.
