Lukka and CoinDesk Indices have revealed the Composite Ethereum Staking Yield (CESR), a benchmark capturing the mean annualized staking yield earned by Ethereum validators. This standardized rate provides a crucial utility yield for posting ETH to the network.
The Composite Ether Staking Rate (Lukka) and CoinDesk Indices will offer a composite ether staking rate.
Composite Ethereum staking yield refers to a method of calculating the total return on investment for staked 'Ethereum (ETH)' tokens.
It combines the base staking reward with additional incentives, such as transaction fees and rewards from liquid staking protocols by Lido Finance.
This approach provides a more accurate representation of the potential earnings from 'staked ETH' .
According to a study by Lido Finance, composite yields can range from 5% to over 20%, depending on market conditions and protocol specifics.
The Composite Ether Staking Rate (CESR) ‘will capture the mean annualized staking yield earned by Ethereum validators, including consensus incentives and priority transaction fees.’
Ethereum staking has experienced significant growth since the blockchain transitioned from a proof-of-work to proof-of-stake consensus mechanism in September 2022. With $37 billion currently locked in total value (TVL) across liquid staking protocols, which allow users to earn additional yield through the issuance of liquid staking tokens (LSTs), the market is increasingly dependent on this staking rate as a utility yield for posting ETH to the network.
Liquid staking protocols allow users to stake their cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, while still maintaining liquidity.
This is achieved through the use of specialized tokens that represent a user's staked assets.
These tokens can be traded on decentralized exchanges, providing users with access to their staked assets while still participating in validation and earning rewards.
Liquid staking protocols aim to balance the need for liquidity with the benefits of staking.
Financial institutions, asset managers, and analysts can use the CESR as a benchmark for relative ether staking performance. The CESR provides a standardized rate that captures the mean annualized staking yield earned by Ethereum validators, making it an essential tool for evaluating investment opportunities in the Ethereum ecosystem.
The integration of the CESR into Lukka‘s offerings is a significant development, offering institutions a trusted and reliable benchmark for Ethereum staking performance. ‘Our collaboration with CoinFund on CESR delivers a critical benchmark for Ethereum staking, offering institutions a trusted and standardized rate,’ said Alan Campbell, president at CoinDesk Indices.
This partnership highlights the growing importance of standardized data in the cryptocurrency market, particularly in the context of institutional investment. As the market continues to evolve, the CESR is likely to play an increasingly important role in evaluating investment opportunities and asset management strategies.
Standardized data refers to organized and structured information that follows a set format, making it easily accessible and comparable.
This ensures consistency in data collection, storage, and analysis, facilitating accurate insights and informed decision-making.
Standardization helps prevent errors, improves data quality, and enables seamless integration across systems and platforms.
