Staking is great. But what if you could earn rewards and still use your crypto at the same time?
Thatās where Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) come in ā and theyāre quickly becoming one of the most profitable tools for passive income in crypto.
š What Are LSTs?
When you stake ETH (or other PoS tokens), your funds are locked. But with liquid staking, you receive a tokenized version of your staked asset, like:
stETH (Lido)
rETH (Rocket Pool)
BNBx (Binance Liquid Staking)
These tokens let you:
ā Earn staking rewards
ā Trade or lend them in DeFi
ā Use them in yield farming or liquidity pools
Itās like having your cake and staking it too!
šø Why This Matters for Investors
LSTs unlock double earning potential:
Base yield from staking
Extra rewards from DeFi use
In a market chasing yield and capital efficiency, LSTs are the new power players.
š Coins & Projects to Watch
Here are some LST-related projects gaining traction:
š¹ LDO (Lido DAO) ā King of ETH liquid staking
š¹ RPL (Rocket Pool) ā Decentralized ETH staking
š¹ BNB + BNBx ā Liquid staking on Binance
š¹ EigenLayer ā Restaking innovation
š¹ Marinade (SOL) ā For Solana stakers
These projects are not only helping secure networks, but also turning passive holders into active DeFi users.
š Final Take
LSTs are more than a trend ā theyāre a new financial primitive in crypto. If youāre staking without liquidity, youāre leaving money on the table.
So next time you stake, go liquid.
