Binance has announced the termination of NFT staking for BAYC and MAYC collections on August 1, 2025. This decision is driven by the need to adjust the APE NFT staking mechanisms.
Changes in APE NFT Staking Mechanism
Starting from August 1, 2025, Binance NFT will stop offering staking for BAYC and MAYC NFTs. All staked NFTs will be automatically returned to users by August 3, 2025, after which they will no longer generate staking rewards.
Market Impact and Community Reactions
This change is expected to affect NFT liquidity, impacting approximately 10,000 users. Community reactions on platforms like Twitter show varied opinions, but no official commentary has been released by Binance and Yuga Labs.
