Let's leave a simple example to understand these differences and all those who do not know or have doubts about it can understand.
I will try to be as clear as possible.
Assumptions:
Solana Starting Price (SOL): $150
Amount of SOL: 2 (1 for staking and 1 for holding)
Staking Period: 90 days
Staking Interest: 10% annually (approximately 2.5% for 90 days)
Increase in Holding Value: 100% in 90 days
1. Staking 1 SOL
Initial Value of SOL in Staking: $150
Interest for 90 days: 10% annually equals approximately 2.5% for 90 days.
Staking Rewards Calculation:
Interest Earned: $150 * 2.5% = $3.75
Total Value of SOL Stakeda after 90 days: $150 + $3.75 = $153.75
2. Holding 1 SOL
Initial Value of SOL in Holding: $150
Increase in Value: 100% in 90 days.
Calculation of SOL Value in Holding:
Value of SOL in Holding after 90 days: $150 * 2 = $300
3. Comparison of Values after 90 days
Staking SOL: Total value of $153.75 (initial price + interest earned)
SOL in Holding: Total value of $300 (due to 100% price increase)
Key Observations:
Price Revaluation: The value of the staked cryptocurrency also revalues according to the market. This means that even though your SOL is locked in staking, its value rises or falls with the market. It is not fixed at $150.
Additional Rewards: In addition to the price increase, you get additional rewards for staking.
Conclusion:
Your staked SOL will follow the market value. So if the price of SOL doubles from $150 to $300, your staked SOL will also be worth $300. Additionally, you will receive staking rewards.
Example with Revaluation:
SOL Stakeada:
Market value after 90 days: $300
Staking Rewards: $3.75
Total value after 90 days: $300 + $3.75 = $303.75
SOL in Holding:
Value after 90 days: $300
