There is a vast opportunity in the crypto world. The common ways of making money in crypto include trading, investing, lending, and staking. However, the first two are very common as people do that daily. My quest to know the difference and see ways to earn some crypto coins made me research crypto staking.
Staking is one of the methods to earn passive income. It is an activity where a user locks his funds in a cryptocurrency wallet to participate in maintaining the operations of a proof-of-stake based Blockchain system.

The best place to stake your coins is so many. There are centralized exchanges (CEXs). With this, users can diversify their income stream and monetize their funds on exchanges. The leading crypto exchanges that support staking are:

1. Binance: No surprise there as the biggest exchange platform provides staking for its users. The exchange supports Ethereum 2.0, DeFi staking where it accommodates cryptos such as DAI, Tether (USDT), Binance USD (BUSD), Bitcoin, and Binance Coin (BNB).

2. Coinbase staking: The United States exchange provides more coins beosdes the Ethereum 2.0. It offers coins like Algorand (ALGO) and XTZ.

Note that staking is not limited to these two exchanges. There are many exchanges that support staking.
