What is Staking and How Does It Work in Virtune’s ETPs?
Staking is a core feature of many crypto assets that use a consensus mechanism called Proof of Stake. This method ensures transactions are verified and the network is secured without intermediaries like banks. Participants staking their crypto assets contribute to the network 's security and stability. The more participants, the more secure the network becomes. As a reward, those staking earn additional crypto assets, similar to earning interest on a savings account.
Virtune has integrated staking into its ETPs with "Staked " in their name. The underlying crypto assets in Virtune 's staked ETPs are staked directly from cold storage with Virtune 's custodian, Coinbase. Staking rewards are continuously added and reflected in the products ' daily prices, contributing to increased returns.
