    The momentum behind cryptocurrency-based digital collectibles continues to build as the NFT market posts its best month yet—with tradeable “moments” platform NBA Top Shot leading the way. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are digital works (mostly art, trading cards or in-game items) that exist primarily on the Ethereum network and have a unique and verifiable on-chain identity. And the market for such items is exploding. The top three NFT marketplaces saw a combined trading volume of $342 million i...

    The cryptocurrency space is still largely dominated by the original king of crypto in Bitcoin, but a few newer entrants have carved out strong followings of their own. Among them is Chainlink (LINK), which had a monster year in 2020, skyrocketing in price by over 500%. Now, investors in Chainlink have a new way to earn interest on their holdings.  Crypto lending firm BlockFi has paid out more than $20 million in interest on deposits of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

But Staked, a blockchain staking infrastructure firm, thinks 2021 could be the year that staking starts to have a major impact. Why?
