$ETH staking has changed the game since the Merge. But is it still worth locking up your ETH now in 2025?

Pros:

🔹 Passive income (3–5% APY)

🔹 Network security support

🔹 Long-term commitment = less temptation to sell

Cons:

🔸 $ETH might pump and you’re locked

🔸 Liquid staking (e.g. $LDO, $rETH) carries its own risks

🔸 Regulatory uncertainty in some regions

Verdict: If you believe ETH will be worth $10k+, even 4% yield compounds big over time.

Are you staking your $ETH or trading it?
