If SOL falls faster than the rewards add up, the total value of what you hold still goes down.<\/p>\n<p>What staking can offer is a small cushion, since you slowly collect more SOL while waiting for the market to recover. That helps explain why many people continue staking during downturns, because earning something regularly can make it easier to stay calm instead of selling in a rush.<\/p>\n<p>This explains why staking deposits keep flowing even during downturns. Yield helps investors stay engaged instead of panic-selling, similar to patterns seen in other <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/altcoins\/lit-lighter-crypto-post-airdrop-rebound-gains-traction-with-whale-staking-deposits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">staking deposits<\/a> across altcoins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-solana-meme-coins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Top Solana Meme Coins to Buy in 2026\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/99BitcoinsHQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">99Bitcoins on X<\/a> For the Latest Market Updates and <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@99bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Subscribe on YouTube<\/a> For Daily Expert Market Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/altcoins\/sharp-solana-staking-income\/\">Sharps Technology Earns Solana Staking Income Even as SOL Slides<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public company Sharps Technology reportedly earned income from staking Solana while the price of SOL kept sliding.
