In other regions, including the UK, Australia, and Seychelles, staking is applied automatically to supported assets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users need to hold the open position of the staked cryptoasset for a certain period of time. The time period for when a user becomes eligible differs per cryptoasset; according to the blockchain of the specific cryptoasset, and how long it takes for it to be included in the staking pool.<\/p>\n<\/dd><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item\"><dt class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-question\">What are the eligible staking units?<\/dt><dd class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-answer\">\n<p>Each day of the month, a daily \u201csnapshot\u201d of each user&#8217;s holdings is taken at 00:00 GMT. These are multiplied by the number of days in the month, and the result is the number of eligible staking units for a user in a specific month.<\/p>\n<\/dd><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item\"><dt class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-question\">How is the monthly yield per cryptoasset calculated?<\/dt><dd class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-answer\">\n<p>To calculate the monthly yield per cryptoasset eToro divides the total number of new coins (AKA the total sum of the reward) for the month by the total average daily amount of all eligible staking users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the month of September 500,000 ADA coins were received on eToro as the staking reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the same month, the total average daily amount of ADA held by eligible staking users was 10,000,000 ADA coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the calculation will be 500,000 divided by 10,000,000, resulting in a monthly yield of 5%.<\/p>\n<\/dd><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item\"><dt class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-question\">How does eToro support staking on a leveraged position?<\/dt><dd class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-answer\">\n<p>Open crypto positions with leverage are only eligible for staking on the part of the position held with the non-leveraged value (i.e. bought with the user\u2019s own money).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If money is added to the position in order to lower the leverage, the amount of crypto on which staking is eligible increases, but this extra amount requires the same number of intro days to become eligible as it would if the extra money represented a new position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If money is removed from the position, thereby increasing the leveraged value, the eligible staking amount decreases immediately.<\/p>\n<\/dd><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item\"><dt class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-question\">Earnings Compound: Will staking earnings (rewards) also be used as part of the input amount for the next staking reward calculation?&nbsp;<\/dt><dd class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-answer\">\n<p>Yes. The staking reward calculations for one month (e.g. October) will include staking reward percentages earned in the previous month (e.g. September). The rewards will be calculated according to the number of intro days of the specific cryptoasset. For example, Cardano has nine intro days, with calculations beginning on the tenth day of holding the asset.<\/p>\n<\/dd><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item\"><dt class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-question\">Do I need to do anything to stake my assets?<\/dt><dd class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-answer\">\n<p>If you hold open positions in Cardano (ADA), Tron (TRX), Near Protocol (NEAR), Polygon (POL), Cosmos (ATOM), Polkadot (DOT), Sui (SUI) or Solana (SOL) and you are an eToro (Europe) Ltd user, you are now subject to MiCA regulation, and must actively opt into the service to stake your assets.
