Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (CBETH) is a tokenized representation of ETH that has been staked through the Coinbase exchange. Issued solely by Coinbase, the token corresponds to ETH staked on the Ethereum network and is designed to remain transferable, allowing holders to sell or move the asset freely even while the underlying staked ETH stays locked within the Ethereum staking protocol until a future network upgrade enables withdrawals. Functioning as a liquid staking token, CBETH gives users continued exposure to their staked position without requiring them to wait for the locked ETH to become accessible. Because the token is tradeable, it can be used across various decentralized finance applications and supported blockchain ecosystems, enabling holders to put their staked assets to additional use while still earning staking-related rewards through the underlying arrangement with Coinbase. Its broad availability across multiple networks reflects the range of platforms and protocols that have integrated support for wrapped liquid staking representations of ETH.
The staff view separates ownership receipts from protocol-issued tokens, but neither category guarantees instant access to unstaked ETH or a sale at the underlying value.
Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (cbETH) is a utility token that represents Ethereum 2 (ETH2), which is ETH staked through Coinbase.
Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (CBETH) is categorised as: Crypto-Backed Tokens, Wrapped-Tokens, Polygon Ecosystem.
