Coinbase offering Staking Rewards - With CEO Ready to Fight SEC
Coinbase allows users to earn additional crypto by purchasing tokens and then staking them, essentially earning interest for locking them in place.
Different tokens have different requirements, annualized percentage yield (APY) rates and payout times, with some paid weekly and others quarterly.
To stake on Coinbase, head to the Assets section and click the Earn Interest button.
This week, Coinbase CEO and co-founder Brian Amstrong made a strong statement to the US Securities and Exchange commission, who want to crack down on crypto staking.
On Sunday, Armstrong Tweeted: "We will happily defend this in court if needed", after the company released a lengthy blog post that stated that its staking services are not securities.
Rival exchange Kraken has been hit with a $30 million fine from the SEC for offering its staking-as-a-service without registering.
