It is no secret that even perpetual staking $BNB allows one to simultaneously receive a negligible percentage (0.18% per annum) while also automatically participating in launch pools.
Moreover, there is always a fixed staking service, for example, for 120 days, yielding 0.32% per annum. It may seem that this is just a 0.14% per annum increase, which is simply negligible if you do not invest at least $8000, but there is a nuance.
Periodically, in addition to launch pools, Binance conducts what are called Megadrops. During megadrops, points that will be converted into the received token are awarded according to rules that give holders of fixed staking for 120 days approximately 30% more points, and thus some distributed token. The essence is that fixed staking $BNB only gives a small increase to profitability but provides a significant increase to the profitability of other Binance products, not just Megadrops.
I would like to note that this increase grows along with the length of the fixed staking period. However, along with the increase in potential income, there is always an increase in potential risk.
What risk can there be in simple fixed staking? This will be the subject of my next note.
