Turning idle stablecoins into productive capital
During this volatile market, I’ve been keeping most of my capital in stablecoins instead of chasing every pump and dump. But rather than letting them sit idle, I’ve been experimenting with ways to put them to work.
One option I came across is simply holding $GHO in a Bitget spot account. It automatically pays around 10% APR, and if you trade at least $500 in daily spot volume, the yield jumps to 15% APR. The best part? Rewards are credited daily, there’s no lockup, and I can still move funds back into trades whenever I spot a good setup.
For me, it’s been a low-effort way to generate some passive returns while waiting for cleaner entries. Unlike staking or LP farming, this doesn’t carry smart contract risks, which makes it feel like a safer middle ground.
I’d love to hear from the community:
How are you putting your stablecoins to work these days? Do you prefer centralized options like this, or are you sticking with DeFi lending and farming?
