Ethereum will go through the Shanghai upgrade in March, which releases ETH staked on the Beacon Chain. Industry analysts believe this will be good news for liquid staking protocols as they offer better incentives and yields. As opposed to direct staking, they provide a more flexible way to stake and earn without having to lock up the collateral. “Accessibility, immovability, and illiquidity are the top drawbacks of crypto staking,” the analyst added. Liquid staking platforms provide a staking token that can also be used in other DeFi protocols to generate additional yields. (cryptopotato)
