Currently many coins already offer staking and for me this will also help us to be able to get profits later, and better when compared to investing long-term, especially the declining market conditions so staking is the main choice even though I used to invest long-term if the market was declining but with staking then this will be more interesting for us to try, And I'm sure it will be more profitable even if there are some rules applied but trying is a very important thing.
You have to be careful with many coins that offer staking for high returns above 30-50% in annual terms, many new coins from various projects are temporarily hyped because staking profits are distributed every week or even daily, but the project will go away with sell all tokens from staking on dex and cex, any type of altcoin is very risky in long term staking so you have to analyze each coin and focus on the top altcoins, my advice is the top 5 best coins.
