The average crypto exchange user holds more assets on the platform than they actively trade at any given time. Staking turns idle balances into a reason to stay — and gives the exchange corresponding AUM growth.
Users commit tokens to a staking plan for a defined period and receive a guaranteed APY set by the exchange operator. Daily yield accrues, principal and yield are returned at plan end. The exchange admin configures APY per plan based on their economics — the spread between what they earn deploying the capital and what they pay to users.
For each plan: supported assets (USDT, ETH, BTC, any listed token), lockup period (flexible through 365-day), APY rate, minimum stake amount, maximum plan capacity, and early withdrawal policy.
A sophisticated staking engine extends IB commissions to cover staking volume — not just trading. IBs who bring high-balance clients earn commissions on staking positions, creating an incentive to recruit high-value clients rather than purely high-volume traders. Commission structure mirrors the trading model: 3-level referral for users, unlimited-depth IB God-Mode for assigned partners.
Two consistently observed effects: users actively move more assets to the platform to maximise staking positions (increased AUM), and locked staking plans reduce the pool of instantly-withdrawable assets (reduced withdrawal pressure). For USDT specifically, a 4-6% APY staking plan is compelling compared to zero return on idle holding.
