📰 XRP Staking Faces 5% Yield Tax Battle
🗓️ May 28 2026 19:30 UTC - Aishwarya shashikumar
XRP staking debate grows as David Schwartz outlines a tax-safe model while investors chase yields of up to 5% APR.
➤ XRP staking is being debated with a focus on tax implications, with former Ripple CTO David Schwartz proposing a model where rewards minted during staking are taxed only upon sale.
➤ Currently, XRP staking is not native to the XRP Ledger, requiring users to rely on centralized exchanges or DeFi platforms for yields between 1.5% and 5% APR, which carry security risks.
➤ The discussion highlights ongoing efforts to make XRP staking technically feasible and legally defensible, particularly concerning tax regulations and potential IRS scrutiny.
