By adding Polkadot (DOT) and Cosmos (Atom) to the Crypto Staking program, Etoro expanded its staking services and offered users new opportunities to earn passive income.
The move will strengthen the platform’s staking portfolio, which already includes popular assets such as Solana, Ethereum and Cardano, giving investors a wide range of assets and helping them grow with their holdings bets, according to the company’s announcement.
Etro’s latest addition comes amidst the growing market volatility caused by recent tariffs announced by Donald Trump. At the time of this publication, Polkadot (DOT) ranked 20th in Coinmarketcap, with a market valuation of $6 billion, a 6% decline in the past.
Meanwhile, Cosmos has dropped by 2% and 9% over the past day and week respectively. Blockchain, which has pledged to simplify blockchain technology, ranks 47th with a market capitalization of $1.6 billion.
The growing appeal of Crypto Staking
“As we are growing interest in Crypto, we continue to be committed to providing our users with the opportunity to engage with digital assets and participate in the blockchain ecosystem,” said Adi Lasker Gattegno, director of Crypto Desk at Etoro.
“After the successful launch of a nearby poll stake at Etoro in December, we are excited to staking two more assets, making it easy and safe for users to earn passive rewards.”
Etro’s decision to incorporate Polkadots and Cosmos into their staking options comes as demand for blockchain participation increases. The platform is actively working to add new assets for users, with recent additions such as protocols and polygons.
The staking process allows users to lock crypto assets and support network operations such as transaction verification in exchange for rewards.
How staking rewards work
Staking rewards are based on the user’s Etoro Club Tier, with eligible users earning between 45% and 90% of their staking yields. Etoro holds percentages to cover the operating and technical costs associated with ensuring the staking process. The system is designed to provide both flexibility and security to its users.
To participate, users must reside in an area where staking is permitted and hold a certain “intro day” period in their position to qualify. Staking rewards are updated monthly via email to give users transparency about their revenue.
