Biggest US Exchange Will Pay Institutional Investors Interest on ‘Staked’ Cryptocurrencies

Bitcoin exchange giant Coinbase is introducing a new space for investing by launching a program that offers institutional investors the option to earn interest on specific cryptocurrencies they hold.


5-8% Interest For Coinbase Custody Customers

The San-Francisco based exchange allows customers to buy and sell several cryptocurrencies. It also operates Coinbase Custody, which provides fund managers and institutional investors cold storage for their digital assets.

Now, through the program named “Staking,” investors holding certain crypto assets in Coinbase Custody can earn interest. The company states,

Staking makes it possible to earn passively against your holdings – all without moving anything from offline storage.

Coinbase Aims to Obtain Banking Licenses

Investors are expected to earn between 5 percent and 8 percent, and the payments will be made in the same crypto asset they hold.

At first, Coinbase will start the Staking program with cryptocurrencies that operate under the proof-of-stake algorithm. Thus the first cryptocurrency of the program is Tezos (XTZ), as announced on 29 March 2019,

Today, we’re announcing Tezos (XTZ) baking for Coinbase Custody clients. We’re proud to be the first full-service, regulated, comprehensively-insured, and 100% offline staking provider in crypto. In the coming weeks, we will add governance support for the Maker (MKR) protocol.

Tezos To Be the First Crypto Asset to Start Earning Interest

Tezos is a new platform that focuses on smart contracts and decentralized platforms and uses the proof-of-stake consensus algorithm. As of this writing, XTZ had jumped over 18 percent in the last 24 hours, with a capitalization market of $571,381,877 USD.

At the launching, Kathleen Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, stated,

The launch of Tezos staking through Coinbase Custody serves an acute need that existed up until now: a way for institutional participants who rely on a secure, offline custodian to take an active role in the network.

The Maker protocol, creator of the DAI stablecoin, will follow. DAI is based on the Ethereum network, and it is pegged to the dollar. DAI market cap totals $87,957,606 USD.

Bitcoin is not included in this program because it does not use proof-of-stake. Instead, the Bitcoin network uses the proof-of-work algorithm.

Coinbase holds a license to process payments through banks under the state money-transmission licenses in the U.S. And, the Department of Financial Services granted the exchange a “Virtual Currency License” on January 17, 2017. Moreover, Coinbase introduced a system for making cryptocurrency payments easier, faster, and safer. As a result, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted protection on August 14, 2018.
