Bitcoin suffered a deep correction during the Spring Festival, and the altcoins collapsed collectively, and many projects even hit record lows. Market sentiment has also switched directly from fanatical FOMO to panic. Many people were still longing for “freedom of wealth” before the New Year, but after the New Year, they can only laugh at themselves for “a bad start” under the screenshots of losses. In the cycle of ups and downs, you think you are playing the quantitative art of “selling high and sucking low”, but in fact you keep “chasing the rise and killing the fall” and use adrenaline to make trading decisions, resulting in more and more losses in anxiety.

But if you no longer want to be dominated by market sentiment, but instead pursue stable long-term gains and stay away from the anxiety caused by violent fluctuations, then this article is for you. You don’t need to keep an eye on the market or predict the market. You just need to use reasonable strategies to build a “revenue engine” so that the assets can operate on their own and continue to grow over time. There will always be highs and lows in the market, but the smart way is not to go with the flow, but to let wealth automatically play the “march of compound interest” and let capital work for you, rather than you work for the market.

This article compiles the OKX 4 products that are “relatively low-risk” and “have relatively stable returns”. Exchange time for returns to help you earn passive returns and transform market fluctuations into stable returns. Others stay up late to watch the market, anxious to chase the rise and kill the fall, but you don’t need to operate frequently. You can easily accumulate compound interest by relying on prudent strategies, and you can also achieve long-term asset growth.

1. Simply earn money

Your assets can be profitable, so why sit idle and eat dust? Want to maximize the value of crypto assets such as USDT, USDC, BTC, and ETH? OKX’s simple money earning helps you match idle assets to users who need to borrow money, and obtain relatively stable income. It can deposit and withdraw 24 hours a day, and interest is paid by the hour. It is flexible and efficient, allowing your assets to continue to increase in value over time!

At the same time, you don’t have to envy others ‘high returns. Under normal circumstances, your first 1,000 USDTs can enjoy an annualized rate of return of 10.00% on platform rewards within 180 days, and if you exceed the first 1,000 USDTs, you can enjoy a minimum annualized rate of return of 1.00%. In addition, the annualized yields of USDT and USDC are also very considerable in specific markets. For example, in the week of December 6, 2024, the annualized rate of return on USDT, a current money-making product, was as high as 27.72%, and the annualized rate of return on USDC was as high as 20.43%, far exceeding the industry level. The market demand for currency borrowing is fierce, so you can lend idle funds at any time to increase passive income.

OKX’s strong risk control system protects the entire process, and funds are safely and steadily online. It only takes a few steps to make your assets smart and “work” and achieve zero-threshold passive benefits.

2. Earn money on the chain

If “Simple Earn” does not have the currency you want to lend, you can also choose “Chain Earn”. OKX on-chain earning coins selected pledge and DeFi protocol to help you earn on-chain rewards. However, it should be noted that the on-chain DeFi protocol is provided by a third party, which carries certain risks. OKX does not make any guarantees for its products, nor is it responsible for any losses caused by the use of relevant products. However, OKX will strictly review each agreement and comprehensively evaluate audit status, performance, compliance, team background and governance mechanisms, striving to provide you with safer and more reliable on-chain money-making products.

Pledge and DeFi products have different revenue methods. Pledge products earn rewards by helping blockchain networks maintain security, while DeFi products can earn benefits by providing liquidity, participating in liquidity mining, and borrowing. You can choose the tokens you want to pledge and purchase, but you should note that the redemption mechanism for making coins on the chain is not as flexible as simple as making coins. The revenue release time of PoS pledge products varies depending on the chain mechanism, and may be released daily, weekly, or together with the principal at the time of redemption. Proceeds from DeFi products are usually paid out with the principal the day after redemption, while additional rewards are paid out around 20:00 (UTC+8) every day.

For example, OKX has currently launched SOL pledge activities. If you pledge SOL on the Solana network, you can get 1:1 OKSOL. The current reference annualized income reaches 10.89%. In addition, you can enjoy an annualized APR of up to 2% by pledging ETH and earn 1:1 BETH, earning rewards every day while maintaining more flexible liquidity.

3. Shark fins

Summarize the core characteristics of shark fins in one sentence: stable income + interval bonus. As a “guaranteed capital” structured product, OKX Shark Fins can steadily grow assets by tracking currency price fluctuations, earning annualized income from USDT, BETH, and OKSOL. For traders who play steadily, if the market conditions are favorable, they can also enjoy higher annualized returns. In short, shark fins provide funding and interest protection to ensure minimum annualization.

The operation of shark fins is very simple. It tracks market changes based on fluctuations in currency prices to achieve dynamic revenue enhancement. When the product expires, you will recover the subscription principal and receive guaranteed basic annualized income. More importantly, if the settlement price falls within a certain range, you will get a higher annualized return.

As shown in the figure below, if the underlying price at expiration is less than $9200 or more than $9400, you will earn an annualized return of 3%. If the underlying price is between the two, you will earn an annualized return that matches between 3% and 18%.

OKX Shark Fins offer flexible periods of 3-day and 7-day, which you can choose completely based on your needs. Whether it is short-term “eating soup” or long-term “eating meat”, you can find a suitable solution. When purchasing, you can place orders separately through USDT, BETH, OKSOL, or centrally allocate them to a certain target. This design makes transactions more convenient and also helps you add value steadily. In short, Shark Fins provides a safe and flexible trading option that allows your assets to enjoy maximum returns while ensuring safety.
