What Are the Risks of Crypto Staking?

[Suba]

Anything that can make a profit will certainly have risks, this is also the case with crypto staking which we know as the best source of passive income from crypto. The way crypto staking works is not much different from depositing money in a bank which will earn interest over a certain period. However, to stake your own crypto in a private wallet, we need large capital, such as if we are going to stake Eth in a private wallet, we need at least 32 Eth. As a novice staker I want to know, what are the risks of crypto stocking?

Most often are fake staking pools and low quality coins. Fake staking pools don't return coins back. How we say it goes in scam.

New coin owners offer high staking rates like over 100% but at end those coins don't have future and their value goes to zero.

Is this a risk per say? Might be. But it is surely a disadvantage when your crypto funds are staked up for a particular period and you can't withdraw it even when the price of the token has risen and would give you a profit.

The risk is high because you never know what will happen the next day

I agree with you, not only is our crypto locked for a certain period of time, but there is also market volatility, as in my experience, the price of ADA has fallen so that if I withdraw it, I will lose.

I stake through Exchanges and you do not need 32 ETH to stake, you can stake even 0.0001 ETH. I do not see any risks as long as you are using reliable platform

You are right, because crypto exchanges implement a pool staking system, allowing users to stake small amounts of ETH, one of the disadvantages of Ether transactions is the excessively high Gas fee.
