Lido DAO (LDO) posted a +15.8% intraday gain on April 16 while Ethereum simultaneously fell -0.5% — a 1,630 basis-point single-day divergence between a liquid staking governance token and its underlying asset. With LDO's 7-day return of +37.3% running 3,010 bps ahead of ETH's +7.2%, the decoupling suggests a token-specific catalyst rather than a broad sector move.
