Imagine a special type of digital money called cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Some crypto lets you 'stake' it – kind of like putting your money in a special savings account that earns you more. But in the US, there's been a debate about whether you can do this with special investment products.
- US lawmakers are asking the SEC (a government group) to let people stake crypto in their investments.
- Staking helps keep the digital money safe and secure.
- Other countries already allow this, so the US might be missing out.
