While the S&P 500 dips in average dividend payouts, crypto staking rewards continue to surge with the highest reward returning 84.19% per year.
The average crypto staking reward is now 450% higher than the average dividend paid to investors in the S&P 500, despite there being strong growth across both markets.
On March 31, the S&P 500 — the index that tracks the 500 largest public companies in the U.S. — recorded its best first-quarter growth performance in 5 years at 10.16%, per Google Finance data.
However, its average dividend yield rate of 1.35% was the lowest recorded since roughly two and half years prior in Q4 2021. Notably, this represents a difference of 0.23% from the all-time low of 1.12% recorded 24 years ago, during the first quarter of 2000.
