“Crypto staking interest” is an ambiguous label: it may refer to protocol-defined rewards for validator participation, or to a separate payment offered through a lending or custodial arrangement. To classify a return, identify who or what generates it, which rules govern it, and what claims the customer has over the assets. The allowed evidence supports some protocol-specific reward mechanics, but it does not establish a general staking rate, withdrawal schedule, or terms for any particular provider.
