Crypto News: Amid the upcoming Shanghai upgrade for the Ethereum network, Lido DAO, and Rocket Pool has been in the news over the past week. While the Crypto market generally recorded a 2.35% decrease in the last 24 hours, many assets faltered, but some tokens like LDO and RPL recorded exponential gains.
