Risks of staking

• Price risk: staking rewards are paid in the coin; if its price falls you can lose money overall.
• Lockups: native and exchange staking can lock coins for days or weeks while unbonding.
• Slashing and downtime: validators that misbehave or go offline can lose part of the stake or rewards.
• Smart-contract and de-peg risk: liquid staking tokens rely on code and can trade below the value of the underlying coin.
• Custody risk: on an exchange you rely on the company holding your coins.
• Regulatory risk: state and federal rules can change and may end a program.
• Tax: staking rewards are generally taxable in the US. Ask a tax professional.
