Binance staked ETH vs Lighter

BETH represents staked ETH held by Binance, accruing consensus rewards daily while remaining tradable on both the CEX and BNB Smart Chain. Unstaking requests are processed in 1‑5 days, faster than the native beacon chain exit queue. Holders can farm extra yield in launch pools or use BETH as collateral on Venus.
