To stake or not to stake? For our UK customers, that’s no longer the question.

To stake or not to stake? For our UK customers, that’s no longer the question.

The question’s been answered.

Thanks to new legal clarity in the UK, Bitstamp Earn is now open to UK customers again. That means UK customers can stake Ethereum (ETH) and Cardano (ADA) directly from their Bitstamp account with simplicity and security built in.

Why choose ‘to stake’?

Staking allows you to take part in the blockchain networks you believe in. By helping validate transactions and support network operations, you earn staking rewards while continuing to hold your assets.

For those who don’t want to trade actively or watch market moves daily, staking offers a low-effort way to stay engaged with crypto. Learn more about staking in our in-depth staking article.

To stake, with confidence

Bitstamp Earn is designed to make staking straightforward. And because Bitstamp Earn was built with UK compliance in mind, you can trust that you're staking through a platform that puts transparency and compliance first.

Staking through Bitstamp also gives you a chance to diversify how you engage with crypto. Whether you’re a long-term holder or looking to explore new strategies, staking adds another layer to your crypto approach.

To stake what exactly?

Currently, staking is available for two of the most established proof-of-stake assets:

  • Ethereum (ETH) with up to 3.10% APY
  • Cardano (ADA) with up to 1.00% APY

Rewards are paid out on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on the asset.

You’ll be able to stake ETH with just a few taps. And if you are already holding ADA, your staking is automatic, and rewards start to come in. If you’d prefer not to participate in ADA staking, you can easily opt-out of receiving staking rewards at any time.

To stake, when ready

To stake or not to stake? For our UK customers, that’s no longer the question — the option is here, clear, and ready when you are.
