Staking refers to locking up your cryptocurrency in a blockchain network to help support its operations—such as validating transactions and securing the network. In return, users receive rewards (usually in the form of additional tokens).

On Coinbase, you can stake several assets, and the process is relatively automatic. The platform handles all the complex details behind the scenes.

Currently, Coinbase offers staking for:

• Ethereum (ETH)
• Cardano (ADA)
• Solana (SOL)
• Tezos (XTZ)
• Cosmos (ATOM)
• And others

The staking process is opt-in, meaning you must agree to stake your crypto, and you earn rewards based on the amount and duration of your stake.

2. Why You Might Want to Stop Staking

There are several reasons why a Coinbase user may wish to stop staking their crypto assets:

• Liquidity Needs: You may need to sell or transfer your funds, and staking locks them up.
• Market Volatility: You might want to react quickly to market changes without waiting for the unbonding period.
• Tax Considerations: Staking rewards are often considered taxable income.
• Changing Investment Strategies: You may wish to diversify into other assets.
• Moving to Another Platform: Other exchanges may offer better staking rewards or more features.

Whatever your reason, it’s important to understand that unstaking is not always instantaneous, especially for some cryptocurrencies.
