XDC Network attracts investor attention, surpassing $300 million in staking. This milestone comes as positive regulatory changes strengthen PoS ecosystems.
Regulatory Climate Shifts in Favor of PoS
Recent statements from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) clarified that participation in PoS networks is not a securities transaction. This has been interpreted as a green light for validators, leading to increased involvement from institutional investors who were previously constrained by regulatory ambiguity.
Analysis of the Over $300 Million Locked Value
Data from XDC’s masternode dashboard indicates that 2.66 billion XDC are currently staked across active masternodes and delegated pools, amounting to about $245 million. In addition, approximately $13.1 million is locked in DeFi protocols, bringing the total locked value comfortably over $300 million.
Economics of XDC Staking
XDC currently offers an estimated 10% annual percentage rate (APR) for validators. A masternode requires a locked stake of 10 million XDC, generating approximately 1 million XDC annually. Delegated staking allows participants with smaller holdings to earn proportional rewards.
Reaching the $300 million threshold in locked value signals not only strong network participation but also the growing interest from both institutional and retail investors in the XDC Network's infrastructure.
