What Cryptocurrencies Can You Explore With CoinEx Staking Earn?
CoinEx Staking currently gives users access to eight documented assets when its January 2026 Help Center list is combined with the later BNB launch: CET, ETH, SOL, ADA, TRX, DOT, SUI, and BNB. Rewards come from the respective blockchain networks rather than a fixed interest schedule. CoinEx calculates APY from the previous day’s on-chain block rewards and effective staked amount. CET has a 0% service fee, while the other supported assets carry a 10% fee on staking rewards. BNB entered the service in January 2026 with a 0.1 BNB minimum and a stated 0.7% estimated APY at launch.
CoinEx’s Help Center, updated January 21, 2026, listed CET, ETH, SOL, ADA, TRX, DOT, and SUI as supported staking assets. A separate announcement updated January 27, 2026 added BNB, bringing the documented selection to eight assets. The group covers several different blockchain designs rather than eight interchangeable interest-bearing products.
| Asset | Network role | CoinEx staking detail worth checking |
|---|---|---|
| CET | CoinEx ecosystem token | 0% CoinEx staking service fee |
| ETH | Ethereum proof-of-stake asset | Network-derived APY |
| SOL | Solana staking asset | Network-derived APY |
| ADA | Cardano staking asset | Network-derived APY |
| TRX | TRON staking asset | Network-derived APY |
| DOT | Polkadot staking asset | Network-derived APY |
| SUI | Sui staking asset | Network-derived APY |
| BNB | BNB Chain staking asset | 0.1 BNB minimum and 0.7% estimated APY when announced in January 2026 |
CET differs from the other seven assets at the fee level. CoinEx states that CET staking has no service fee, while staking rewards from other supported tokens are charged a 10% service fee. If two assets generated the same gross reward of 100 units, the standard 10% fee would leave 90 units before considering token-price changes; the CET staking fee treatment would leave the full 100 units under the stated policy.
That fee difference should not be treated as a reason to compare CET with ETH or SOL only by net APY. CET is an exchange ecosystem asset, while ETH secures Ethereum, a proof-of-stake network that has used staking for consensus since the 2022 Merge. A person already holding ETH can use CoinEx Staking without running an independent Ethereum validator or managing the operational work associated with validator infrastructure.
ETH therefore fits a different holding profile from CET, and SOL broadens the choice further. SOL is used in Solana’s proof-of-stake system, where delegated stake contributes to validator participation. A 5% staking rate on a token that falls 25% in market price during the same period would not produce a positive fiat-denominated result, so the staking percentage should be considered alongside the asset itself rather than read as a standalone return.
Staking increases the number of tokens a holder may receive; it does not set the future market price of those tokens. CoinEx also says its displayed APY is based on blockchain data rather than a fixed rate offered by the platform.
ADA gives users access to Cardano staking through the same CoinEx account structure. Cardano has operated with proof-of-stake since the Shelley era in 2020, and ADA is used for network participation as well as transfers and fees. For a holder already maintaining an ADA position, exchange-based staking reduces the number of separate interfaces involved, although it also places the staking process within the exchange’s custody structure.
TRX adds another network profile. TRON uses delegated proof-of-stake, and TRX participates in network governance, resource management, transfers, and staking. CoinEx does not promise a permanent TRX percentage: its Help Center says staking APY changes with network block rewards and the amount staked on-chain, so a rate viewed in 2026 can differ from the rate displayed weeks later.
DOT follows the same variable-rate principle but belongs to Polkadot’s staking system. Native staking processes can involve validator or nomination-related choices and network-specific waiting periods. CoinEx places the user-facing process inside its Earn interface, while the underlying reward still originates from blockchain staking rather than an internally fixed deposit rate.
SUI adds exposure to a younger proof-of-stake network. Sui mainnet launched in 2023, making its operating history much shorter than Ethereum’s or Cardano’s. Users comparing SUI with older assets therefore have more to examine than the current APY: network adoption, token supply schedules, validator participation, liquidity, and market-price changes can have larger effects on the position than several percentage points of annual staking rewards.
BNB was the latest documented addition among the eight assets. CoinEx announced support in January 2026 with a minimum staking amount of 0.1 BNB and an estimated 0.7% APY. CoinEx also stated that the percentage can change with the amount of BNB staked on-chain, so 0.7% is a launch reference, not a rate that should be assumed for a later staking order.
The way CoinEx calculates the displayed rate explains why old APY screenshots have limited use. Its published methodology takes the previous day’s total network staking rewards, multiplies the annualized result by 365, and compares it with the previous day’s effective on-chain staked amount. The measurement period covers 00:00–24:00 UTC, and CoinEx says the displayed rate is based on actual scanned blockchain reward data.
For a simple illustration, assume 10,000 units of an asset are effectively staked at a hypothetical 4% annual rate. Dividing the annualized amount across 365 days gives roughly 1.096 units per day before fees. If the asset falls under CoinEx’s standard 10% staking-reward service fee, approximately 0.986 units would remain after that fee, assuming the stated rate and stake remained unchanged for the calculation period.
The calculation is useful for understanding scale, but actual daily distributions can differ because CoinEx does not hold the network rate constant. Its FAQ states that reward levels depend on block rewards and total on-chain staking, while the market price of the principal can also change. A displayed 4% rate should therefore be read as an annualized reference based on recent network conditions rather than a contractual 4% payment.
Reward timing adds another measurable detail. CoinEx says staking earnings start accruing after the stake becomes effective, with earnings generated hourly and distributed daily. Its FAQ places the normal distribution around 00:30 UTC on T+1, with rewards sent automatically to the user’s Spot Account rather than remaining inside the staking position indefinitely.
Users can review those entries through the platform’s asset history. CoinEx directs users to Assets, History, Spot and the “Staking Rewards” operation filter on the web interface. Its January 2026 app guide provides a similar route through Assets, Spot, and Assets History, giving users a transaction-level place to compare received rewards with the reference APY displayed when staking began.
Redemption deserves equal attention because an asset shown as redeemable is not necessarily available in the Spot Account immediately. CoinEx states that users can submit redemption when they meet the asset’s minimum redemption requirement, but unlocking periods vary by token and are typically between 1 and 28 days. The live redemption page, rather than a general estimate, supplies the applicable waiting period.
CoinEx states that a submitted redemption request stops the affected assets from generating staking rewards during the waiting period. A user facing a 14-day unlock, for example, should not model another 14 days of staking income after submitting the request.
That rule matters more to someone who trades frequently than to a holder who expects to keep the same asset for several years. An ETH, SOL, or SUI position intended for near-term trading may need faster access to liquidity, while an investor with a longer holding period may be more comfortable with an asset-specific waiting period. CoinEx states that the maximum staking amount has no fixed upper limit, but minimum staking and redemption amounts vary by token.
Comparing the eight assets therefore works better with several measurable fields than with a ranking by APY alone:
-
Check the live APY and compare it with the rate recorded 7 or 30 days earlier when historical observations are available.
-
Subtract the 10% reward service fee for non-CET assets when estimating the amount credited to the account.
-
Check the token-specific minimum stake and minimum redemption amount before transferring funds.
-
Record the stated unlocking period; CoinEx gives a general range of 1–28 days, not one waiting period for every asset.
-
Compare the expected token reward with the market movement required to offset it. A 3% annual staking rate is small beside a 20% move in the underlying asset.
The asset itself remains the larger part of the position. At a hypothetical 4% gross annual staking rate, $10,000 worth of tokens corresponds to about $400 in annualized rewards before the standard fee and before any price change. A 15% decline in the token would represent about $1,500 on the same starting market value, several times larger than the annual staking amount.
Custody is another difference between staking through an exchange and interacting with a blockchain directly. With direct staking, users normally control an external wallet and follow the network’s own delegation or validator process; with CoinEx Staking, the staking balance and reward records sit inside the CoinEx account environment. CoinEx has stated that it has maintained a 100% reserve policy since its 2017 launch, and its January 22, 2026 reserve snapshot reported reserve ratios above 100% for several disclosed assets, including 100.31% for ETH.
Users who prefer the mobile route can access Staking through More > Earn > Staking or Assets > Earn > Staking. CoinEx’s January 2026 guide instructs users to select an asset, enter the amount, review the reference APY and estimated reward, accept the staking rules, and confirm the order. The official CoinEx App Download page provides the application entry point.
Before confirming an order, the numbers shown on that screen deserve more attention than an APY quoted in an older article. BNB’s 0.7% January 2026 launch estimate shows why: CoinEx explicitly describes staking rates as dependent on on-chain conditions. The amount entered, current reference APY, applicable 0% or 10% service fee, minimum requirements, and redemption period are the figures tied most closely to the staking position being opened at that time.
