Wrapped Beacon Ethereum (WBETH) is a liquid staking derivative token that represents the ETH committed and its rewards. It is also a packaged version of BETH created by Binance Earn and available on Ethereum and BNB Chain.
What will PancakeSwap’s WBETH liquid staking integration provide?

- Convert WBETH back to ETH. With the dedicated ETH/WBETH liquidity pool, you can instantly convert WBETH back to ETH.
How did the PancakeSwap (CAKE) price react to the Binance news?

What is liquid staking?
Liquid staking is the method that allows users to stake their assets while remaining non-trading via representative tokens. This feature provides access to funds for other uses while still earning staking rewards.
As Ethereum completes the Merge upgrade, liquid staking gives users the option to stake ETH to earn rewards. Also, unlike traditional staking methods, users can continue to use their ETH and have liquidity while staking. WBETH is the key player at this point.
