The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) clarification around liquid staking<\/a> continued to lift asset prices across the staking sector this week, with ETH rising to $4K for the first time since December on Friday.<\/p>\n

Mantle, which uses optimistic rollups to process transactions off-chain before settling them on the Ethereum mainnet, was the leader of the pack, with the MNT token jumping by 50% in the past week.<\/p>\n
