The 6% APY offered by Binance US is also competitive by the general industry standard. Coinbase Global Inc COIN current offers ETH bets 3.28% APY but expect this Increase to 9-12% after the merger.

Data from Staking Rewards shows that the number of ETH has increased to 54,800 in the last month. However, average ETH staking revenue has fallen from a peak of $1.68 billion on Aug. 13 to $937 million at the time of writing. The decline was largely due to ETH’s price drop from above $2,000 in mid-August.

Price promotion: At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $1,639, up 4.2% over the past 24 hours, according to data from Gasoline Pro.
