Here's a more detailed question, what is staking? I have looked on Kraken's docs and read a bit on Google but it still doesn't seem to address fairly basic questions what it is and why.
Seems like you are 'loaning' some of your currency to support the 'machinery' running the blockchain itself, and in return you get rewarded. I think the reward is effectively a share in profits made in the process... effectively you are buying in to the mining or whatever?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

They even offer 10% return on GBP when the banks are giving 0.5%.Comment

Of course there are other cheaper to use smart contract blockchains that could displace Ethereum for both Defi and NFTs but that remains to be seen. If and when we see institutional adoption of DeFi and they go with ETH then who knows how high it will go and stay. Unless they make their own DeFi blockchain(s) or go with a far cheaper, quicker and already established within the financial industry project like Flare (Ripple) which is launching soon...
...Which brings me on to XRP - you can see all the exchanges it's listed on (and any other coin) on Coingecko

Centralised exchanges offering this will let you stake your funds with them and they will then stake them on Defi and pay you some of the interest. You can get all the interest by staking straight on DeFi (and assume the risk) or stake them with Exchanges or other centralised (CeDefi) projects and take less APY% but your funds are relatively safer depending on who you're staking with.
