Bitcoin price spike to record highs of $73,000 motivates many retail and corporate investors to review their portfolios and invest some funds into cryptocurrencies. Saving accounts, staking, farming and other passive income tools help to multiply their investments without unnecessary actions and risks. We've broken down where best to invest your bitcoins and stablecoins, as well as how much you can earn from staking cryptocurrencies today.
How staking works
Staking or savings accounts are an alternative to the current bank deposits, only instead of dollars and euros, users invest stablecoins or other popular coins, receiving a certain yield. Today, there are two types of staking available to crypto users: fixed and flexible.
When using fixed staking, the client undertakes not to withdraw the invested coins until the end of the storage period, which is from one month to a year. For this, the company charges him a certain percentage of remuneration, which is paid together with the deposited amount at the end of the staking period. As a rule, the profit from using fixed staking is higher, but there are a number of restrictions on the use of invested funds. For example, if the user decides to withdraw the deposit before the end of the staking period, they automatically lose all rewards.
Flexible staking allows withdrawals at any time, but the rewards are smaller than with fixed staking. The user doesn’t lose the rewards on withdrawal and can manage them at will. As a rule, the rewards for cumulative deposits are accrued on a daily basis, but are available for withdrawal after a certain period of time.
Today, staking is available for top coins like BTC, ETH, DOGE and others, as well as for USDT and USDC stablecoins.
The best savings programs and offers
Accumulation programs and staking aren’t just offered by investment funds and companies, but also by cryptocurrency exchanges, mining pools and others. Let's take a look at the most profitable platforms for passive income on crypto assets.
