Select what genuinely interests you. Your picks feed directly into our editorial planning. XRP staking in the true sense does not exist. The XRP Ledger runs without proof of stake, so you cannot lock up your XRP with a validator and receive new coins from the protocol in return. Anyone still looking for a yield on XRP always gets it from a third party: from an exchange that lends out your coins, from traders who pay fees in a liquidity pool, or from a protocol on another blockchain. Each of these routes carries its own risk, and none is comparable with real staking on Ethereum or Solana.
