Ethereum's Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and associated rewards are conceptually similar to stock dividends. Experts note that only those holders who actively participate in staking, that is, use their “voting rights,” have the right to receive these “dividends.”

The quote from Cointelegraph:

“We see what is happening as a positive thing. Staking provides investors with all the economic benefits of Ethereum and improves profitability results.”

Ethereum rate and staking

The current exchange rate of Ethereum, the volume of blocked ETH in staking and the profitability of this procedure are important indicators of the state of the network.

Prospects for approval of spot Ethereum ETFs

Despite positive expectations for staking, the prospects for approval of spot Ethereum ETFs by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) remain uncertain. The reason is the high level of new risks and complexities, as well as the need for a deep understanding of the principles of blockchain.
