Soft staking in Binance allows users to earn passive income by simply holding certain cryptocurrencies in their spot wallets. Unlike traditional staking, where assets are locked for a fixed period, soft staking keeps your assets liquid—meaning you can trade or withdraw them anytime while still earning rewards. Binance distributes staking rewards daily or periodically based on the amount and duration you hold the eligible tokens.
To activate soft staking on Binance, there's usually no need for manual action. Just buy and hold supported tokens (like BNB, ATOM, or DOT) in your spot wallet. Binance will automatically include your holdings in the reward calculation.
Benefits include flexibility, ease of participation, and the ability to earn passive income without locking your assets.
