Nice to hear this. I trust this exchange. If they offer such facility, I would like to go for it. Hope they dont change as soon as they receive lots of ETH and go away.
I don't like it. THey just want money from people that use that exchange. BNB is a scam coin. 
Topic: [news] Binance Launches Staking Platform with Support for 8 Cryptocurrencies (Read 236 times)

Binance is performing good but they are devising more and more methods to make people deposit and hold their crypto in their platform. This dependency on binance could lead to catastrophe in case of failure from binance. There could be any reason but putting all your money in a single place is risky.

Well, this is a good solution for me. Especially if Ethereum 2.0 will be supported by Binance. I don’t have the financial ability to have as many coins as needed for a stake. Therefore, such a platform is a very good way of staking for me.
That is not advisable. Binance has history of theft of their users' coins under their custody by hackers. It would be safer to hold eveything you do not trade in your wallet and join a staking pool.
Also, for decentralization, Binance staking might not be good for Ethereum 2.0 itself.

Staking is a good way to earn while you hold. The complexity and large amount required to hold for staking specific coins are keeping people away or not staking their stakable coins. Binance's staking pool would enable many users to get passive income for their holdings.
They are not providing 15% BTC for a month. Their lending platform currently provides 3% a year on BTC holdings. Staking is a different thing from lending.
This is a very attracting offer and as far as I know they are offering very good interest rates. But my question is why would they just give out money for free, especially something insane like 15 percent in BTC for a month.

Exactly. I think all we have to do is buy the coins and keep it in our wallet. The QTUM project that interests me the most. I have been following the project for a long time. It's listed on including Binance, Huobi and Kraken.
I think CZ has chosen a few coins for the start and I think that the number of coins that can be staking in the future will increase.

This is actually a good news for those who prefer to hold their coins into Binance as they now can start staking
Yes this is a good news for holder of 8 coin that Binance have mentioned that users can staking via Binance.instead of simply holding the coins there but after I have read the staking returns are actually lower than if you would have staked for yourself ? at least it seems so.
I don't know about this, but I think yes the rewards lower if we staking self because Binance will take profit about this staking project.Coinbase added this staking rewards to on their service, and another exchange will followed this service. I don't know this service will terminate ICO and IEO, because in my opinion more safe staking coin compare to buy ICO or IEO which hasn't been proven to be trusted.

This might be only the first initiative of them as only 8 projects have this support now and for sure more and more will come but the coin must be listed on BNB before to enable this feature. Would be nice to see a masternode feature on BNB, I would definitely use it if they list low ranked masternodes.
However, would it be good for the project if Binance is staking more than 50% of the total percentage? I reckon that would be something similar to a 51% attack on bitcoin.
Also, would this not give Binance too much power on voting in masternode coins?

This is quite concerning for me.
The exchange that was the biggest and hottest thing when it came to exchange is now trying to diversify its income source by launching lending programs, and now this, a staking platform. But why? Or more precisely, why now? Is the cryptowinter affecting Binance as well? Is this a forewarning of tougher times to come?
i think binance is just trying to maximize their profits. it is always good when a company has different sources of income. in addition, they must also make up for the losses from the hacks of the past few months.The exchange that was the biggest and hottest thing when it came to exchange is now trying to diversify its income source by launching lending programs, and now this, a staking platform.

that is why i think the current development is not bad and is not a bad sign for me.

Different opinions in the thread is here. On the other side its an opportunity for those who likes the lend and earn but its still really not a good idea for me to keep my coins by just staking it. Since you are just simply sending your coins to an exchange, better yet just trade with USD while its in dangered being in the exchange.

Nice step from binance as it will help the newbie investor as he will be able to bypass the headache of setting up nodes and vpn just to stake a coin and also buying certain amount of coins before staking was a big hurdle, now when binance will offer these services in a pooled and professional manner investors can get on board with few clicks and hassle free which would be great.

Coming up with this initiative might be good, however, I will support the standpoint of the OP. Under normal circumstances, keeping fund on exchange these days is not exchange these days is not encouraging, most especially with an exchange that was once a victim of hack.
If CZ can guarantee holders that their funds will be safe and not only that,but also,if any form of hack occurs, there will be a refund, then it worth trying and going for.

I once don’t like staking that much because I feel that it is just a very big trap by most projects to just keep the investor and tie him down after he must have staked his coin within a short period of time which anything could happen before the contract time expires.
I learnt that staking actually gives profit because I have never done it before, but now that binance has created a staking platform, and I am sure that they will run it the same way that they are running their IEO platform by ensuring that any project that they have registered for staking is one that will give the client the assurance that the project is no dyeing any time soon and they will always fulfill their interest obligation to the said investors at the particular time of promise. I think I will like to try binance staking out.

This is a big leap and a win-win situation for both holders and Binance, three years ago when I was very active in accumulating a lot of Staking coins there was a site I can't remember the name, where you deposit your coins for the site to stakes, most of the coins deposited there are Bitcoin derivatives.
I'm sure with Ethereum turning to stake algo many will find this platform interesting it will allow them to make a profit, and with Binance behind it it will gain approval.

It is such a dangerous idea.
I wonder which exchanges the staking will take place, Binance decentralized or centralized exchange? I guess this is a more convenient way to stake cryptocurrencies, but not advisable. Many people may end up using the service. People want convenience.

I do not understand where the danger is because with the staking there are benefits to be gained by the exchanger or the binance customer. It is clear that Binance is a centralized exchanger and with staking, Binance can further develop its lending platform and customers benefit from coins that are stake

It would benefit those who rarely make trades, but hold the said tokens in the exchange.
At first, I think it's unlikely for those who use their own wallet in holding and staking their coins to send it to Binance for just the sake of staking. But thinking that they will not do anything after transferring the funds, it's really an advantage.
For example Komodo (KMD), to receive a reward you need to hold a minimum of 10 Komodo and make at least one transaction per month using the wallets. If I'll hold it in Binance, I'll get a reward whether or not I make a transaction monthly (correct me if I'm wrong).
The only problem really is the security, it's an exchange after all and you don't have a control over the private keys. It's up to the individual if he wants to take the risk.

This is a great good strategy, CZ has been ahead of the game from day one. I enjoyed staking benefits from NEO and VET. I've earned a lot of GAS and VTHO and I'm grateful for that, even though price ain't too good right now. Talking about Binance targeting ETH staking later in future, it's a superb plan IMO. Someone mentioned that all these is to boost BNB price increase, well development updates are very essential no matter how you see it.
