Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken is reintroducing staking services for U.S. customers again.

Staking𓆏 is a process by which crypto investors can pledge and lock their tokens to a pool which is🅘 then used toward validating transactions. Successful validators receive rewards for verifying information on the blockchain, and those rewards are shared with investors who staked their assets.

Kraken Pro users in 37 states and two territories will be able to stake 17 digital assets including Ethereum (ETHUSD), Solana (SOLUSD), Polkadot (DOTUSD), and Cardano (ADAUSD).
