Staking and DeFi yield are available in 70+ countries. DeFi yield is only available outside the U.S. You start earning rewards with most of the Staking and Standard Rewards assets once they are purchased. To earn rewards by staking ETH or depositing assets in DeFi yield, you will need to purchase the asset and then agree to terms to enable the option and start earning rewards. The Algorand (ALGO) asset earns rewards through inflation, or community rewards, versus staking. With inflation, new tokens are added to the network at a rate determined by the protocol and those tokens are then distributed to holders as rewards. APYs are determined by the relevant Staking or DeFi protocols and Coinbase will pass through the rewards to you, minus a fee. The APYs presented above are estimates based on recent performance and are not guaranteed. You will not earn a reward unless it is received by Coinbase.
