DE Crypto staking is a new activity that has revolutionized the face of cryptocurrencies and provides a new use case for investing. As Proof of Stake – PoS networks expand, so will this powerful investment tool.
If you have crypto investments that are gathering dust somewhere, you may want to take the time to research your options and see if you can stake them. As always, do your own research and weigh your risks. In this article we will look at the largest Dutch exchanges that offer crypto staking.
What is staking?
Staking is when you secure a token for a certain period of time in order to support the blockchain network or DeFi protocol.
Staking will primarily be used by blockchains with the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, where validators need staked tokens to verify transactions.
By simply being rewarded by staking tokens, staking is one of the easiest ways to earn a return.
