#Creator Staking is by no means a new phenomenon in the crypto world, yet not everyone has even basic knowledge about this earning tool. Recently, we published an article on this topic, and today we want to share expert opinions on the prospects for the development of this market and the benefits of staking.
The Business Development Director of the EMCD cryptocurrency mining pool, Evgeny Kitkin, noted that staking remains one of the simplest yet most effective ways to earn passive income. He cited DefiLlama data, according to which, as of early August 2025, the TVL in liquid staking was around $67 billion, of which about $24 billion accounts for ETH. This indicates that over the past three years, the staking market has reached an absolute peak and continues to grow mainly due to institutional investments.
Speaking of the development of the staking market, in his opinion, in the coming months we will see a flow of investments from large investors from traditional assets into ETFs and staking platforms such as Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) and others, as staking offers guaranteed returns for corporate clients at a level of 5%-20% per annum.
As for retail users, according to the expert, staking will remain one of the most popular ways to earn passive income. Today, CEX and DEX platforms offer favorable staking conditions for holders of SOL, ADA, ETH, BTC, and a number of other popular coins. Staking yields can reach up to 400% APY, which attracts new small investors into staking pools. However, it is important not to forget about the risks. Some platforms, especially in the DEX sector, that promise unrealistically high returns from staking often do not have such liquidity, meaning users may lose their savings.
