Staking Guidance

Definition

Staking guidance refers to official recommendations or rules issued by regulatory bodies concerning the practice of staking cryptocurrencies. These directives clarify the legal, tax, and compliance obligations for individuals and entities participating in proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms. The guidance helps determine how staking rewards are treated for income purposes and whether staking services fall under existing financial regulations. It aims to provide clarity in an evolving area of digital asset activity.
