An Introduction to Digital Asset Interest

The rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) has opened up new opportunities for investors to earn interest on their digital assets. However, with the growing number of lending platforms in the market, knowing which option is best for you can be challenging. In this blog post, we will discuss the different ways you can earn interest on your cryptos and the associated risks and rewards.

Centralized Lending Platforms

Centralized lending platforms are online platforms that offer you the ability to lend out your digital assets in exchange for interest. These platforms typically hold your assets in their own wallets and control the lending process for you. While this can be convenient, it also means that you are placing your trust in the platform to secure your assets and pay you the agreed-upon interest.

Decentralized Lending Platforms

Decentralized lending platforms, on the other hand, allow you to manage your own assets and connect directly to the lending platform from your own wallet. This gives you complete control over your assets, and eliminates the risk of having your assets locked in a platform that may become inaccessible due to regulatory or technical issues.

Native Staking

Native staking refers to the process of holding a certain amount of a cryptocurrency in a wallet to support the network and receive rewards. This is an alternative to lending out your assets on a lending platform and allows you to earn interest directly from your wallet.
