Kraken introduced several Avalanche (AVAX) staking products including bonded staking with up to 10% APY initially, flexible staking, and an Auto Earn option that automatically restakes rewards. This move highlights a trend where crypto exchanges are turning staking into user-friendly yield products, competing to capture idle liquidity within their platforms. Avalanche’s staking is already mature with about 44.67% of AVAX staked and a native reward rate near 6.7% APY, so Kraken’s launch focuses on convenience and expanding retail access rather than basic staking availability. The rollout across major regions like the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia signals growing exchange confidence in staking services despite past regulatory concerns.
