Two months subsequent to opening up its shortlist for Ethereum 2.0 staking, US-based digital currency trade Coinbase says a portion of its clients would now be able to begin acquiring rewards on their Ethereum possessions.

In return for securing a portion of their ETH, Coinbase clients can procure up to 6% premium yearly.

In a blog entry refreshed today, the exchange said it would advise clients when they've moved off the shortlist and urged others to join meanwhile.
