Staking is a way to earn rewards (cryptocurrency) while helping strengthen the security of the blockchain network. You can unstake your crypto at any time, and your crypto is always yours.
You can stake ETH to earn rewards. When you stake your ETH, it converts to staked ETH on Coinbase. The price of staked ETH is identical to ETH.
The Ethereum network now allows for unstaking. We've also moved staked balances of Ethereum (formerly ETH2) to the primary ETH asset page. This change has no impact on the amount you are staking or on your staked Ethereum rewards.
