Bitstamp Rolls Out ETH & ADA Staking for UK Traders—Because Banks Still Won’t Touch Yield Over 1%
London’s crypto veterans just got a new passive income play. Bitstamp—the exchange that survived Mt. Gox and three bear markets—now lets UK customers stake Ethereum and Cardano directly through its platform.
No validator nodes, no lock-up periods, just clicks-to-yield for two of crypto’s biggest proof-of-stake chains. The move comes as traditional savings accounts offer rates that barely beat inflation—assuming your bank doesn’t collapse first.
While regulators hem and haw over ’risky crypto,’ Bitstamp’s staking launch proves institutions still trail retail by lightyears. One question remains: When will HM Treasury try to tax the staking rewards as ’unearned income’?
