Incentive for Long-Term Holding: PoS incentivizes users to hold cryptocurrency for the long term since validators holding more coins receive higher rewards. This can promote currency stability, price appreciation, and encourage participation in network validation.

Reduced Hardware Requirements: PoS doesn't require expensive specialized hardware (such as ASIC miners) and only necessitates holding cryptocurrency in a wallet to participate in network validation. This lowers the barrier to entry, enabling more users to participate in the network.
