What is Binance Staking?
Staking involves locking cryptocurrency to support blockchain network security (transaction validation) and earn rewards. Binance Staking lets you participate without running your own node, earning steady interest income on holdings you'd otherwise leave idle.
Binance offers a comprehensive range of staking products with APYs from 3% to 20%+. Whether you hold BTC, ETH, BNB, or stablecoins, there's a staking option that lets your assets earn while you hold.
Binance Staking Products Explained
1. Flexible Earn
Deposit and withdraw anytime with maximum liquidity. APY: 3-8%. Ideal for users who may need their funds back at any time. Navigate: Binance App → Earn → Flexible Products.
2. Locked Staking
Lock assets for 15/30/60/90 days for higher APY — typically 50-100% higher than flexible. Auto-unlocks at maturity with rewards credited to spot account. Perfect for capital you can plan ahead with.
3. ETH Staking
Participate in Ethereum 2.0 PoS consensus, receive wBETH receipt tokens, earn ~4-6% APY. Redemptions supported (subject to Ethereum unstaking queue). Excellent choice for long-term ETH holders.
