MetaMask Adds 'Pooled Staking' for Cheaper Ethereum Validation

Summary

MetaMask is launching a "pooled staking" feature for Ethereum, allowing users to stake ETH without needing 32 ETH. This move aims to make staking more accessible and affordable. However, MetaMask's feature lacks some functionalities offered by other platforms like Lido and Rocket Pool, such as liquid staking tokens. The new feature will not be available in the U.S. or UK initially.
