According to the exchange, investors can achieve between 5 and 17% per year with ETH’s staking.
The advantages of Kraken are that the Staking-Rewards can be claimed weekly. Investors can also participate in the Ethereum 2.0 Staking with small sums.
Compared to Binance or OKEx, Kraken will open a dedicated market that allows investors to trade their Ethereum.
This means that investors can exchange their staked ETH for unstaked ETH. However, due to regulatory requirements, the offer will not be available to U.S. citizens and Canadians.
All major exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, or OKEx support Ethereum Staking.
