• Blur saw renewed interest from whales as Blast gained popularity.
  • Lido also reaped the benefits from the rising interest in Blast.

Blast, the upcoming layer-2 blockchain scheduled to launch in March, has recently attracted over $225 million in staked ETH [stETH]. Despite facing skepticism from some crypto investors, Blast distinguished itself as the first layer-2 network with native staking.

The network’s future plans involve generating yield through Ethereum [ETH] and other assets.

It’s all a BLUR

Heading the project is PacmanBlur, co-founder of the popular NFT marketplace Blur [BLUR]. Blast’s appeal is further amplified by the backing it has received from crypto investment firm Paradigm.

Due to these factors, the price of BLUR witnessed a surge in interest. Lookonchain’s data revealed that machibigbrother.eth, a notable investor, had purchased massive amounts of the token until press time.

The investor spent 415 ETH (equivalent to $856k) and acquired 1.54 million BLUR at $0.56 each. This ongoing buying activity showed how hopeful the investor was about the future of the token.
