Amid the recent approval of Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), Peter Brandt has issued a stark warning regarding the future of staking in the cryptocurrency realm, particularly focusing on Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL).
According to Brandt, staking similar to leveraging exposes the investor to great risk and a real possibility of incurring losses or even bankruptcy. He explained the process of staking, where investors lend out ETH or SOL at an interest rate, which can be considered fully leveraged trading.
The trader stressed that regulators might focus as they have already issued strict forecasts for central banks and government treasuries. He was doubtful of the reality of staking profits, comparing them to other collapsed scams such as the Ponzi scheme where high rates of returns were often fake.
Despite Brandt’s reservations, platforms like Robinhood are preparing to embrace these developments, with plans to list the spot Ethereum ETF and offer Solana-staking products to European users.
