Hot Season of Crypto Staking

, January 30, 2023

Crypto winter” is a term that many use to describe the current, downturned state of the market. It’s just a coincidence that weather presently aligns with these conditions in many global regions. It’s chilly out there in more ways than one. While things could indeed be better (we remember such times!) CEX.IO sets itself apart in our unwavering optimism in all crypto environments, bull or bear.

So, instead of going with the grain, we’ve decided to do the opposite and announce a Hot Season of Crypto Staking. Apart from the catchy name (which we’re particularly proud of), this unique promotion serves to launch a more sophisticated focus on our platform’s new staking model.

What is a Hot Season of Crypto Staking?

As you may know, CEX.IO is an entire online ecosystem of crypto services that provides new and experienced users alike with numerous opportunities to interact with, and benefit from, crypto. Staking is one of the available services on our platform, which enables you to earn rewards merely by holding stakeable assets on your account (no additional action required).

We call this staking model Automated Staking, precisely because owning and holding stakeable assets is the only input required of you as a CEX.IO user. Your rewards are calculated daily and released monthly, enabling you to become the proud owner of something called passive income.

However, since we believe that continuous improvements on our end help make your crypto journey more navigable and enjoyable, we’ve designed a new staking model that went live in mid-December.

The new staking model features significant differences compared to our existing Automated Staking solution. The biggest change is that the new model requires manually transferring the funds you wish to stake to a separate sub-account. However, this step results in two benefits:

  1. Your funds staked in sub-accounts will generate daily rewards (instead of receiving them monthly as before).
  2. The new model will feature a higher APY versus Automated Staking.

Note that the funds in your sub-account will remain flexible, and that you will be able to withdraw them to your account at any time. Consequently, our new staking model makes our ecosystem more transparent, and more rewarding.

How does the Hot Season of Crypto Staking promo work?

During February and March 2023, our platform will feature increased staking rewards for specific stakeable cryptocurrencies. In other words, instead of your default staking rewards, each week we’ll offer higher APYs for a select currency, starting from your transfer day.

Here’s an overview of what you can expect:

Week Coin Old Reward New Reward
January 30 to February 5 ADA 2.6% 10%
February 6 to February 12 TRX 3.5% 10%
February 13 to February 19 XTZ 4% 10%
February 20 to February 26 SOL 5% 10%
February 27 to March 4 ZIL 11% 20%
March 5 to March 11 ATOM 10% 20%
March 12 to March 18 MATIC 8% 20%
March 19 to March 25 DOT 10% 20%

However, the rewards don’t end with higher APYs. The first 500 users who join this promo, and participate in CEX.IO staking for the first time, will have a unique opportunity to share in a $5,000 prize pool*. Why? Because on our platform, every day is a holiday, and we enjoy warming up the winter with hot crypto staking gifts!
