How much interest do you earn from your USDT?

[R1dwanRz]

Well asking this question cos I wanted to see how many of you do stake your USDT. I have seen my friends earning lots of interest from their USDT holdings. So I also wanted to stake some USDT to earn some interest since it's sitting on my wallet doing nothing. I checked a few cexs that offer USDT saving option or other options that offer interests.

So I was seeing that Binance offering 2.85% APR on their flexible staking product, which translates to roughly $0.0781 daily for a 1k USDT stake. But some other exchanges like Bitget and Bybit offer tiered flexible staking rates that can potentially yield higher returns. For example, Bitget offers rates ranging from 3.70% to 8.70% APR depending on the staked amount and with 1K staked, it's like 0.169$ daily, and Bybit offers a flat rate of 2.13% to 7.12% APR also depending on staked amount, so with 1K staked, it's like 0.126 USDT daily.

Now I want to know what's gonna be best. I know Binance has lower interest but i'm still torn between these. So I wanna know y'all thoughts.

The way I stake my USDT might not be as easy as doing it on a centralized exchange but the ROI are much greater.
There are a few platforms with a bit difference on them. The One I use and currently providing good ROI is interport that provide a huge interest over 80% per year for USDT on some network, but the catch they have is there's a 90 days vesting period before the interest you withdraw is useable. That is you can withdraw your deposit, increase or decrease anytime but the interest needs to wait 90 days (1/3 year) to get to your wallet. It's still a good interest rate effectively above 50%.

Im using avax, 10% apy for the rest month and decentralized, much better than exchanges

3% APY will be nullified by 3% inflation rates so at the end you are making no profits by risking your capital completely. Staking on exchanges is no more profitable in my opinion. People believe AVAX is a choice so you can try which is better than conventional centralized staking in terms of returns.

Instead of USDT, Convert it with Binance FDUSD when the price is below the 1$ pegged price and stake it on launchpool that provides 100% to 200% APY interest which is greater than the USDT flexible staking on Binance.

You can earn more on FDUSD staking compared to USDT while they are still both stablecoins which is safe to store your assets. This is what I’m doing for past few weeks since the correction in the crypto market started. Launchpool is very profitable and safe at the same time to farm passive income.

safety should be their primary concern in staking thier USDT or else it will be a big loss instead for them.
although inflation is also something we look at in staking USDT, i think the people from underdeveloped countries will not see $0.12 daily a problem. this is actually a good amount for them, i'ts just unsure in the long run.

that inflation is crashing up for the US but in South Africa, i think its an advantage holding USD.

If you want to earn the most in fees from stablecoins the best way is to do a cash and carry type of trade.

You need to how much of a premium Bitcoin or Ethereum future is trading at. What you do is then you use your stablecoins and you buy BTC on spot, and you send that spot BTC to a futures exchange and you use it as collateral to enter a futures short. So you are perfectly hedged and you can't get liquidated.

Right now the December 2024 futures for Bitcoin is about 8% which is like 12% APR. This way you make the highest amount with your stablecoins but there is counterparty risk because you need to keep it on an exchange but if you want to earn yield you got no choice anyways, you can't earn yield by keeping it on cold storage.

[JeromeTash]

Can anyone help explain to me my staking and keeping the USDT in an exchange is better than just buying promising assets like Bitcoin and just waiting it out until the market pumps. I do have some friend who even lost money trying to stake on platforms that filed for bankruptcy during the bear market, like Celsius network.

I will suggest sticking with Binance even with the rates are the lowest across the board. Back in 2021-2022 when UST (Do Kwon's stablecoin) was getting a high 20% interest rate on anchor protocol, I decided to indulge myself. When the Luna collapse happened, UST depegged massively. So my advice is to just stick with reputable exchanges. Binance in particular have a SAFU fund and the rates are very reasonable as I think they can actually earn it enough to fulfill the interest payment.

Of course, staking on Binance is less risky than Defi, but the profit is not commensurate with the latter. Recently, I managed to double the number of stable coins on the Ethena platform in 6 weeks, for staking which I received ENA coins, which was listed on Binance and other centralized exchanges. Currently on the Ethena.fi platform is in its second season, which runs until September 2.

The flexible interest rate for staking USDT changes periodically depending on the amount of USDT the Binance exchange has on that day. A few days back they were giving interest of more than 10% and now it has gone down. Rather than going anywhere else I would recommend you use Binance as it is a trusted exchange and has been in this business for a long time now. I do want to make you aware that exchange wallets have their own risk.

[Hispo]

Actually. Some weeks ago I had been getting very good interests from Binance, because of the high demand there was for USDT in their centralized services. I recall seeing I was getting like 0,4$ per day or so. Though, the interest rates for binance flexible earnings completely depend on the offer and demand traders may have for USDT, in order for them to borrow money and apply leverage to their positions in the market of futures.
Since the demand for USDT had decreased much in this week, the interest have gone down much and it may seem it is not worth it to continue to keep your holdings there.
Be advised, you will probably find unreliable and shady services and neo banks in your search for high yields, be extremely careful and do not trust on unrealistic yields. Be careful with Ponzi schemes and other scams out there...

If I were you, I would see if the interests on Binance improve during these month, before considering to move out to other centralized exchanges.

The market involves with more risks and unplanned moves. We found interests in the benefits of our ends and promising projects. USDT is a stable coin and we should prioritized our moved in the market. Knows exactly what we want and also itch for the bigger profits. Staking is good but when it comes to buying assets and storing for long and short-term, the investor should also bear in mind to generate huge figures and be capable of placing risks management.

[bluebit25]

Perhaps each person will have their own feelings, but for me stablecoin (usd) is simply a unit that helps me calculate things more simply. But I agree that there are a lot of people taking high APR opportunities to make a profit, like some cases with UST peg loss causes huge crash and risk, and other top things as well have faced difficult situations. I like what is more honest in this space when knowing the volatility, stable is not a place where I can put my trust to make a profit, but many people still take advantage of it to optimize their investments.

[Bushdark]

Reading this just make laugh like a drunkard. Why would op want to stake USDT when we are already in the bull market.
I would advise hime to rather stake a volatile coin because that would make him earn more as the price of the token keep going bull.
There is not much interest rate on staking USDT because it is a stable coin. The APY does not really worth which is depending on the exchange being used. The APY could be from 3% to 7% which is minimal to what one supposed to get on volatile coins.

Unconsciously running a deposit is like saving in banking in general, the cex gets temporary liquidity and the investor gets a reward, that's fair. with the money intact with usdt and getting daily roi/apr and even yearly, depending on the type of deposit. Granted usdt has a constant price and follows the us dollar, but if I had $10,000 it would feel and this is the art of surviving in crypto with conventional schemes . Unlike the vaulth ethreum or bnb (take the potentially highly volatile and fundamental crypto prices that many people use all the time, DYOR) of course behind the increase of each coin is also the potential for more valuable interest.

If you want and believe in holding usdt, of course there are pluses, including when changing trends you will not be too deep to lose and may still be covered by the apr (interest reward). Indeed, the vault in a cex is slightly different, I keep usdt just to look for transit points so when the price has entered the support area of my favourite coin, of course I exchange the usdt even though I have received new interest for a few days.

Well the decision will ba based on your own preference of course.

Different platforms offer very different experiences with their regulations up to different features that are unique to them. I really suggest that you try to prioritize what is important to you because some platforms will have better flexibility than others but may have not the best security overall.

[JeffBrad12]

people aren't really making money by just saving and investing their USDT to those plans you mentioned, you need to take a different path but also arguably riskier ones such as following binance launchpool sometime they offer staking of certain stablecoin for the sake of getting that share new listed token airdrop, the APY usually quite high if compared with those stablecoin investment plans you mentioned earlier.
as I've seen many people are taking this route, considering the fact that usually every launchpool there are billions of money being staked it is indeed worth it but only if you have sufficient capital at least $10k and more then you can get meaningful rewards.
but sometime the ones that give more rewards isn't stablecoin so that's to be keep in mind as well usually stablecoin staking doesn't yield that much amount of money if you do it the conventional way.

[Husires]

There must be a balance between safety and return on investment, as you can staking FDUSD or POS altcoins and get a return higher than 3%, and considering the prices of altcoins, it is easy for the profit to reach 10% in dollars, but you increase the possibility of losing your money and losing net investments. USDT is not a POS blockchain you lock your coins in those exchange hoping they give you a good return, they may not do that so don't staking a lot of USDT and buy Bitcoin or POS altcoin if you are very interested in staking.

[Alone055]

For me, staking is not that intriguing and I would rather trade using the USDT that I may stake to get less than 5% in return for a whole year while I'm sure I can make that much in a day or maybe more than that, the only thing that it would require from me is to be knowledgeable enough to make more successful trades than failed ones so that I can stay profitable, and even if I lose more trades, I should recover the loss with proper management of my funds and the trades that I'll make.

I know that exchange platforms are generally trusted because they have been around for quite long and there is no sudden risk of them going bankrupt or running away with their customers funds mostly because they are licensed, however, we can't forget the past where things like this happened, this is why I don't find it safe to keep a large amount of funds in an exchange platform that too for such a long time.

So for me, trading is much better than staking.
