Ankr Staking has recently witnessed a notable surge in the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of our Ethereum (ETH) liquid staking solution. This development presents a compelling opportunity for Ethereum holders to embark on their staking journey, harnessing the benefits of staking rewards paired with DeFi opportunities to make the most of their ETH holdings.
Unleashing the Power of Liquid Staking
Liquid staking allows ETH holders to stake their tokens while maintaining liquidity, enabling them to continue trading or utilizing their assets in DeFi earning strategies. Ankr's secure liquid staking solution has gained significant traction due to its user-friendly interface and competitive rewards. Now, with the rising APY, the platform is emerging as an extremely attractive option for individuals seeking to optimize their ETH holdings.
Some Factors Driving the Rising APY
Multiple factors contribute to the surge in Ankr's ETH liquid staking APY, making it a favorable time to embark on the staking journey or reevaluate your staking platform. Here are some key elements to consider:
-
Increased Network Demand: The continuous growth of the Ethereum ecosystem is capturing the attention of validators due to its demand for scalability and has increased rewards along with users, resulting in more gas fees.
-
Growing ETH Market: Due to the Shanghai Update, we've been seeing an increase in overall TVL, led by its de-risking factor and the current trends in DeFi. These trends include concentrated liquidity from Uniswap and the incentives and bribes that are developing the ecosystem to become more capital-efficient than ever. Liquid Staking Tokens have also become a big narrative emerging to a much broader audience.
-
MEV Rewards Redistribution: Since Ankr redistributes rewards from MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) practices, this can increase staking APY greatly as validators see an influx of higher gas fees.
