ChainCatcher message, Ripple Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz responded to the nature of staking in the crypto market on platform X. He stated that there is a fundamental difference between the creation of new value and the transfer of existing value, with staking belonging to the former and interest income belonging to the latter. David Schwartz explained: “You are not earning staking rewards; you are creating rewards, which did not exist before you created them. This is different from someone transferring existing value to you.”
