That one thing that pumps liquidity!

I've been taking my time to study what drives crypto volatility and price in the web3 ecosystem, and this is what I have to say; maybe not all there is.

the major factor here should be crypto stacking or locking anyone you call it. so here some projects that I can see this season pumping in price are all partially liquid stacking protocol projects.

Again, this buy back strategy also works in the utility boost! seeing tokens like PUMPBTC trading at $0.205, which is like +127% in the past 24hrs makes it feel like I'm right about stacking.

which other strategy do you think is one of the major contributors in a crypto surge over time?

I think it's worth separating price squeezes from liquidity. Staking/"liquid staking" reduces circulating float, which can make thin books move +127% in a day… but that usually hurts liquidity depth, not pumps it. Liquid staking derivatives can even be rehypothecated as collateral, so you get more leverage on less float, great until unlocks or funding flips.

For that PUMPBTC move, what's the combined 1% depth and venue mix? And beyond staking, which lever have you seen add real depth rather than just a weekend squeeze?
