Pros

  • Supports exchange-managed staking for several proof-of-stake assets.

  • Some staked balances can remain usable as margin collateral.

Cons

  • Instant Unbonding fees vary by asset and can materially reduce the return.
  • Regular unstaking can leave assets unavailable while rewards have stopped.
  • AscendEX is not available to U.S. customers.
