Is this a good time to buy/stake ETH?

[Zed0X]

There have always been ups and downs in the crypto space and even stable coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum have not been immuned.

Nobody caught this? Since you already know that BTC and ETH prices fluctuates, how can you still call them as stable coins?

As to the question in the OP, it's not a bad idea but just be mindful of the risks of putting ETH in centralized or semi-decentralized staking platforms. Make sure also that you choose a flexible term that allows you to withdraw at anytime.

I don't know about Ethereum honestly, but I think so, but I bet $100 on OPtimism
I think that if ETH goes up because of ETFs and other things, OP will be interested in this rise and will perform better than ETH, in my opinion obviously
I am convinced that without the 2 layers the ETH network cannot work at all

My curiosity is if this would be a good time to stake ETH? Plus, some CEXs are getting other existing trading and staking events up in anticipation of the approval, are they worth it?

Even if ETF doesn't approved Ethereum I would still say Ethereum is a good option to invest in cryptocurrency and obviously it's for long-term holder. So if you are going to hold your Ethereum I will say that don't need to stake Ethereum because if you did stake on cex, I don't find any exchanger which which gives a good APR and also I think for long-term holding Cex should be choice to hold the fund.

I am not a staker, or prefer it due to some reasons of mine, but speaking of buying ETH now is a good option, as in order to stake ETH you get it first and hold it for a longer period of time and you are earning from two ways, one is from %APY and other is from the price increment as if you bought ETH at $3500 and staked for a time and at that time the price of ETH is $7000. So you earned 2x on the price speculation and from the APY as well.

And speaking of the price, I think ETH is bullish and due to the approval of ETFs, it will definitely going to touch a new all-time high soon. I think it is going to follow the same pattern as BTC followed, first, it will decrease in value, then day by day when more money will flow into it, the price will increase. So I say ETH will not gain value quickly as we expected at the time of BTC ETF approval, it will increase slowly.

I agree with you. Ethereum will be always one of the best coins for investment even if Ethereum ETF isn't approved. Ethereum is one of the most consistent altcoins to follow the price growth of Bitcoin. The pattern of its price movement is quite similar with Bitcoin. And Ethereum also has very strong fundamental. So, Ethereum is 100% good option for investment.

If the profit of staking program isn't satisfying, we don't need to stake the Ethereum. I also don't stake my Ethereum because I want my asset is ready to sell any time. I don't want my Ethereum is not available to sell when the price skyrockets. So, I think it is better to put my Ethereum in the wallets only.

Are you referring to pooled staking or solo staking[1]? I remember reading that selling wrapped tokens from pooled staking equals selling your ETH, so there's no need to manually withdraw your ETH from the pool if you want to sell it. This is still risky though, since you rely on a third party to ensure their contracts are not faulty. That being said, most people who stake their ETH probably plan to not sell for at least several months or years anyway. Another choice would simply divide your ETH for trading and for staking, assuming you have enough to make them worth doing.

Since the approval of the Ethereum ETF is about to start, if you have funds to invest then you can continue because when the approval has been okay the price will increase and things will change for good. Op you have one error there in the first paragraph says, "stable coins like bitcoin and Ethereum", for you information they are not stable but volatile nature. And if you want to speak on stable coins then I will make mentioned of USDT.  And also for the staking, you can stake now.

I agree, although the time is a bit tight, but it's better than nothing, I see the price of ETH is also increasing, is there any progress regarding the agreement?

Eth ETF has been approved.

one encouraging thing this year, BTC and ETH were both approved, it's no wonder the price of ETH has increased in price and to this day ETH is still above 3500$,

The future of ETH is expected to be very good because its market cap is very large and the supply of ETH is not very high.  According to supply and according to investors it is expected that the price of ETH may exceed $10k one day in the future.  $10k is not a big target for ETH it is very easy to exceed.  But it will take a long time and this long time patient who can hold bitcoins will be able to make good quality profit during that time. so it might still be a good time to invest in ETH.

I don't dare to speculate and predict that the price of Ethereum will reach 10K, because at the moment it is still too far to reach. but I have confidence ethereum will reach that price in the future. The ethereum ETF has been approved, we will see what ATH ethereum will reach in the bullish season. If it can reach 10K, it means that ethereum is truly showing extraordinary performance.

Lolz!! But people have made that prediction so newbies in the cryptocurrency market is waiting to see that price at the end of the year or early next year. Ethereum right now is even struggling to hit $4k and I was thinking that after the ETF approval within one to two weeks. It would break the $4k line but it seems that the coin is getting slower and it just stuck in the rate of $3,700. Ethereum by now would have reached $5-6k and move up gradually but all disappointment.

As of your post date, the ETH price was almost the same in the range as today, but I'm wondering why haven't you asked this question a couple fo days back that was a good price after that there was a huge pump in the ETH price, anyway it depends on what OP your timeline to stake ETH, and what are you expecting from this cycle's ETH high. if you think we can go 3x from this price range no doubt you should go for buying, if you think chances are low you better study more coins as well.

If we want to buy Ethereum we have to look at the price chart first, when the price goes down then that is the right time to buy it. However, when the price goes up, of course don't and we wait for the price to go down first, unless we want to trade in the long term, of course that's not a problem.  But actually we can also choose other alternative coins if we want to invest if the price of Ethereum is high, such as BNB, Solana or we can even buy BTC.

ETH is a strong altcoin after Bitcoin. And this is a promising future.  So it is definitely wise to invest here while the price of eth is on the dip. The price of ETH is still under $4k so investing in it is still not too risky if one wants to invest long term.  Because in the future its price can easily exceed 8-10 thousand dollars. Such future predictions can be made.  So those who missed the opportunity of Bitcoin should not miss the opportunity of ETH

It would be fantastic if the price of Ethereum could touch 10k dollars in this bullish year, but that seems too high in my opinion. Ethereum is indeed very good to invest in, but doubling or even tripling is very high. 
But it's true, we shouldn't miss this opportunity.  Investing in Ethereum will not be wrong, because this is an Altcoin that can be said to be the number one Altcoin.

I am not giving any financial advice here. But I can imagine that it could happen.  Nothing is impossible in crypto.  But to get good returns from here you have to invest and hold patiently.  eth price was already $3600?  Nooo, it has gradually come to this.  We can estimate the price of eth when it was under $100.  So if $4k can be exceeded from under $100, now $3600 to $10k is not a problem.  So it may be possible in future.  This prediction can be made.
