The American branch of the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, has added Cardano (ADA) staking on its platform. As per the official announcement, investors can get upto 6.10% APY at launch on staking their ADA. Additionally, there is no unstaking period, meaning users can unstake their ADA anytime.

Users can stake as little as 0.01 ADA up to a maximum of 4,400,000 ADA. Cardano (ADA) has finally joined the likes of AUDIO, AVAX, BAND, BNB, ATOM, LPT, MATIC, DOT, SOL, and GRT, which are available for staking on the platform.
