BTC, ETH, HBAR

Many crypto holders look for ways to earn [passive income](https://www.bitget.com/academy/best-crypto-savings-accounts-to-earn-interest) instead of leaving assets idle. Today, several major exchanges offer interest-earning products through staking, flexible savings, or earn programs. Platforms such as Bitget, Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and OKX allow users to earn yield on assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, and stablecoins, depending on the product and region.
 What Types of Interest-Earning Options Do Exchanges Offer?
Most exchanges provide interest through staking, flexible savings, or locked earn products. Staking usually supports proof-of-stake coins, while savings or earn products may generate yield from lending, on-chain rewards, or platform liquidity. Returns and lock-up terms vary by asset and exchange.
 
Which Exchanges Pay Interest on Crypto Holdings?
 
|Exchange|Interest Products|Supported Assets|Lock-up Options|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Bitget|Staking, savings, earn|BTC, ETH, altcoins, stables|Flexible & locked|
|Binance|Staking, Earn, DeFi|Wide range of coins|Flexible & locked|
|Coinbase|Staking|Major PoS coins|Mostly flexible|
|Kraken|On-chain staking|Key PoS assets|Flexible / bonded|
|OKX|Earn, staking, DeFi|PoS coins & stables|Flexible & locked|
The table shows that exchanges differ in how they approach interest-earning products. Bitget and Binance focus on offering a wide mix of flexible and locked options across many assets. Coinbase keeps things simple with staking on major coins, appealing to beginners. Kraken emphasizes reliable on-chain staking, while OKX combines traditional earn products with DeFi-style yields. The best option depends on whether you value flexibility, simplicity, or higher potential returns.
 
Conclusion
Exchanges offering interest on crypto holdings give users a way to earn while holding assets long term. Bitget, Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and OKX all provide interest-earning options, but with different levels of complexity, lock-ups, and supported assets. Choosing the right platform depends on the coins you hold and how much flexibility you want.

It's far too speculative, I have absolutely no edge in the crypto markets; hell I don't know more beyond how crypto works, the different types, the decentralizion being the draw(and the lottery² TP possibility ofc).... Basically I know Just enough to know that there is far too much I don't know and not knowing what I don't know, means from my perspective crypto is essentially gambling.
That being said I do have a couple friends who have traded crypto for years and they do quite well for themselves.
Outside of the hours, what was the draw, how/where?(Academia, media platform,site,and ideally book)/ from whom did you learn, how to differentiate between The meme coins, the well-dressed scams, and the next ETH, Obviously Bitcoin, and similar crypto that is the real deal, and what indicates that?
I don't want to be so bold as to ask your strategies to a T, so I'm expecting a vague answer that still protects your PnL, and in no way naive enough to think as much either. Just to be upfront and ensure clarity that at the core of this word salad, in a genuine curiousity, and a desire to learn from someone who knows more than Fox or ABC News.

The honest answer: it depends on how much complexity you're actually dealing with.
For straightforward DeFi (occasional swaps, single-chain yield positions), tracking at tax season usually works. But once you start layering in automated strategies, LP positions that get rebalanced, or high-frequency bot activity, the annual scramble becomes genuinely painful.
What I've seen break:
\- Missing cost basis when tokens move through multiple intermediary swaps
\- LP positions where the tool doesn't correctly attribute impermanent loss vs realized gains
\- Cross-chain bridges creating phantom "transfers" that look like taxable events
\- Routed swaps (like 1inch splitting across 4 DEXs) showing up as separate taxable trades
The case for weekly tracking isn't perfectionism—it's about catching mistakes when you still remember what you actually did. Three months later, good luck reconstructing why your wallet suddenly had 0.3 ETH that Koinly thinks appeared out of nowhere.
That said, most people I know who track weekly aren't doing full tax reports—they're just sanity-checking that nothing looks wildly wrong. The exception inbox idea makes sense for that. You don't need perfection every week, you need to know when something's off.

What was the opportunity cost of that in ETH by year 65 tho 💀

How to register? I already provide liqduity to ETH/usdc. So already familiar with the blockchain itself. Had no idea a project was like this

These are all great points, but we're going to have to agree to disagree, and I say this as an ETH Maxi: There is zero need for a blockchain here. Cryptography, not blockchain.
> What you can’t do for free is provide neutral third-party timestamping, long-term immutability, and independent verification without relying on the **issuer’s systems still existing**.
A hash, free or not, is useless here, without the **original document still existing**. If it's all about legality and regulations and looking backwards, the original document must always exist, otherwise, you have nothing at all to verify, re-verify, or hold liable the regulating entity.

So much of this speak is going around but what is being done to ensure protocols built on ETH are truly decentralized...
Ethereum can be decentralized all day long but it does not matter if everything being built on top has engineered chokepoints.

I agree with you. ETH lets me sleep peacefully.

> Also what's the deal with not answering who has the keys to the ETH? Yikes.
I'll play devil's advocate here and say security through obscurity. He is the single largest honey pot of ETH. He needs good opsec.

Just look on an aggregator like vfat to see all ETH pools. However the displayed APR is highly misleading, as it’s calculated based on current volume.
Plus, a $100 range on ETH/USDC will never stay in range for longer than a few minutes.

Is ETH quantum resistant?

I’ve spent the last six months stacking Monero and staking TRX at rates up to 20%. Honestly, I’ve moved on from BTC and ETH completely.

Another day another ETH DCA’d

I'm trying to sell my Maple Finance and Pepe coins to get Solana, but I don't have any Ethereum to pay the tiny network fee, which is only about $0.50-$1, and without it I can't complete the swap. If anyone has a little ETH to sell, I can pay you via PayPal for just enough to cover the fee. Any help would be massively appreciated so I can finally swap my Maple Finance and Pepe coins for Solana. My Ethereum code: 0x145cFB008d208031eF1EE471363d382Bde5389c3

I’ve been less focused on chasing one big winner and more on steady compounders lately. This year I’ve been putting more into a mix of AI/infrastructure and boring but reliable businesses.
A few I like:
• Microsoft- cloud + AI feels hard to bet against long term
• Nvidia- more of a platform than just a chip company at this point
• Visa- global payments still have a long runway
• AbbVie-healthcare plus income
That said, I’ve also been leaning more into automated buys for BTC/ETH instead of trying to time entries. Curious what everyone else is focusing ongrowth, dividends, or something more contrarian?

SushiSwap is well-known and widely used so not such risks. Yes Impermanent loss is a valid risk, if the price of DONUT changes a lot compared to ETH (because it paired with ETH).
More info about IL you can get by more technically sound guy DBRiMatt. But what I personally experienced you earn rather than loss.

"Solana gonna kill ETH" mfers 🤡

>I'm in a wETH/cbBTC pool yielding about 24% ATM.
u/fer325 would you be okay sharing what pool this is? I've looked, but haven't found any ETH and BTC pools with yield this high.
