At the end of last month, Cardano shipped its highly anticipated mainnet, Shelley, alongside network staking capabilities. On Sunday, users got a first taste of what staking via Cardano holds.
On August 23, the first day of the rewards, 7 million ADA ($831,000) was handed out. On August 28, IOHK expects 12 million ADA to be given out.
First Cardano staking rewards are in!! This is now the norm every 5 days 🙂 Pretty much every stake pool made +-5.5% (that made a block) Check out this great Cardano, stakepool tool for a breakdown. https://t.co/T3bAThqW8x

According to the Cardano staking calculator, rewards currently sit at an annualized return of approximately 5.1%. This is higher than the 4.6% estimate put forward before Shelley's launch.
"We couldn’t have asked for a better response from the community, who have jumped into operating stake pools and are reliably making blocks. This is shown by the 1,138 stake pools currently active, which is around the desired equilibrium for the network," said Aparna Jue, Cardano product director at IOHK.
Jue added that there are already 40,221 addresses that are staking a total of 13.6 billion ADA.
The transition to a proof-of-stake blockchain comes with some intrinsic benefits for network validators, namely, staking rewards. By staking their funds, users are rewarded with Cardano's native token, ADA, for their part in securing and validating network transactions.
"First Cardano staking rewards are in!" exclaimed one Cardano staker, adding, "This is now the norm every 5 days 🙂 Pretty much every stake pool made +-5.5% (that made a block)."
After five years of development, Cardano’s next upgrade is finally here. The network implemented its latest hardfork, Shelley, today. This upgrades the network from its prior iteration, Byron. Shelley’s introduces stake pools and delegations. Staking on Shelley involves holding large amounts of its native currency, ADA. The benefit to doing so is that there’s a greater chance you could earn yet more ADA in rewards for validating the network. All of this is powered by its Ouroboros protocol, w...
Prior to Sunday's initial staking handout, there was a total pool of 13.8 billion ADA (roughly $1.6 billion) reserved as staking incentives for network participants. Every five days—or Epoch, in Cardano terminology—0.3% of this total reserve, around 41 million ADA ($4.7 million), is distributed among all active stakers.
Founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, took to Periscope Sunday night to ensure everything went according to plan with the first staking reward issuance.
"I just wanted to make sure everyone got what they expected, the staking calculator was accurate if there were any problems. Or if everything was looking good," Hoskinson said.

Update: This article has been updated with comments and information from IOHK, plus the dollar value of the staking rewards has been fixed.
Tokyo-listed Metaplanet has added another significant stack to its growing Bitcoin holdings, buying 1,111 Bitcoin worth $118 million on Monday. The purchase brings its total holdings to exactly 11,111 BTC as it races toward an ambitious target of acquiring 100,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2026. The investment firm disclosed the purchase in a June 23 filing, acquiring the Bitcoin at an average price of 15,535,502 yen (approximately $106,408) per coin.

Crypto exchange OKX is reportedly exploring an initial public offering in the U.S., months after establishing a U.S. arm and agreeing to settle half a billion dollars with the Department of Justice over alleged money transmission violations. The exchange would "absolutely consider an IPO in the future," and if it does go public, it would "likely be in the U.S.," Haider Rafique, chief marketing officer at OKX, said in an interview, according to a report from The Information. A representative for...
Stablecoin issuer Circle's debut on the New York Stock Exchange exceeded expectations after its stock quadrupled from its $31 IPO price within 24 hours, raising over $1.1 billion and becoming the largest crypto IPO in recent history. Now, several major crypto firms are vying to go public—from prime brokerages to exchanges—the political and economic winds are beginning to shift in their favor. President Donald Trump's administration has pushed for a more conducive environment for the industry, a...
