Toward the start of 2018, the entire cryptocurrency market went into a bear run and the spot market was declining, with prices plummeting for most tokens. That lead to the burgeoning of the cryptocurrency futures market. That's not to mention that CME's Bitcoin futures contract has increased its' daily exchanging volume by 220% since December 2017. Regardless of the cryptocurrency derivatives market being marginally over portion of the crypto-to-crypto and fiat-to-crypto markets, in the customary finance world, derivatives are a much greater market contrasted to equity. As indicated by Visual Capitalist, in August 2018, the all-out cryptocurrency market capitalization was roughly $250 billion, while the complete estimation of global stock markets amounts to trillions.

What Exactly Is Crypto Staking?
What do most people think of when they hear cryptocurrency staking? Many have been told or heard about staking yet they struggle to understand what it actually is or how to do it. Cryptocurrency staking is basically like being paid in interest or a reward for holding the coin. A better term that describes staking is POS also short for Proof of Stake. There are many popular currencies that have this feature, but not all do have such solutions to greater compensate such advantages.

How Much Can Anyone Earn From Cryptocurrency Staking?
Generally speaking, the bigger the input the greater the reward will be, as projects want to incentivize users to play a role and hold their tokens. But it's best to know that cryptocurrencies can deflate or inflate in value depending on the market and what coins they choose to invest in. As some of the staking options tend to lock their tokens that when volatility kicks in, trading that's the only chance to bag immense profitability can shamble the reward opportunity.

The Most Convenient Way To Stake Cryptocurrency?
KuCoin's new Soft Staking system turns staking on its head. As one of the characterizing practice of staking is the possibility of the investment being locked. KuCoin's Soft Staking permits users access to their coins anytime, making an approach to utilize their tokens to acquire while as yet having the option to adjust to changes in the market. With no minimum staking period, clients have the chance to get rewards while keeping up the opportunity and freedom that is so revered in the crypto-world.

Projects Currently Supported By The Program
There are many other cryptocurrencies that also have POS. Hundreds, actually. Several notable coins like these (https://blog.kucoin.com/what-is-soft-staking-kucoins-new-staking-program-sk-bt)tokens in the top hundreds are currently supported and promoted as a new way to stake by KuCoin. Although the exchange stated that they don't have the most impressive returns in comparison with some of the other staking projects currently available, in combination with the freedom provided, it is an interesting prospect.

Making Money From Soft Staking
KuCoin's Soft Staking appears to give the best of both worlds. It truly appears to be an ideal answer to the issue of what staking has been lacking in reaping such rewards. Although there's the security flaws that staking brings, KuCoin has taken advantage of its security and technological capacity to embrace the staking infrastructure into the next level. Thus, bridging the best solutions for users to simultaneously reap the rewards from either soft staking coins or trading.

KuCoin has launched its new Soft Staking Program, where some users will receive daily distributions for holding Cosmos (ATOM) , EOS (EOS) , Tron (TRX) and Internet of Services (IOST)
Soft Staking begins on July 4 and daily payments will be made in proportion to the total amount of each cryptocurrency that investors hold in their accounts.

[Lightning Network]

The Lightning Network was first introduced by Thaddeus Dryja  and Joseph Poon in their 2015 whitepaper—a current version can be found here. By developing an off-chain solution, the Lightning Network addresses the issues of low transaction rates as well as growing fees, and is best understood through an analogy.

One of the limitation of lightning network is its channels are capped. It only means that transactions are not able to exceed the total BTC deposited in the wallet when the payment channel was initially opened. This may lead to users having to choose between having liquidity in the Lightning Network or in private wallets on the main blockchain. This brings inconvenience for users without enough amounts of Bitcoin.

However, the Lightning Network could be the solution to cryptocurrencies’ scaling issue. You know why? Because this kind of technology was originally made for Bitcoin, but the time has change and it innovated and now it is also using for other cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin, Ether and Ripple.
