The latter contribute funds for use by traders and investors.<\/p>\n<p>For example, on a DEX providers send tokens to liquidity pools and receive trading fees from each trade \u2014 from 0.05% to 1%.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of DeFi projects is to attract and retain liquidity. Decentralized exchanges issue to providers <span data-descr=\"Liquidity Provider Tokens \u2014 tokens that confirm ownership of a share in the DEX liquidity pool.\" class=\"old_tooltip\">LP tokens<\/span>. They can be sent to staking and earn additional passive income. Thus DeFi services incentivize investors not to withdraw assets.<\/p>\n<p>Contributing tokens to pools and subsequent staking of LP tokens is an example of a sequence of actions that can be described by the term &#8216;compounding interest&#8217; \u2014 profit compounding.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maximizing returns in DeFi<\/h2>\n<p>Investors often employ complex strategies to boost returns on their investments. For example, HODL can be made more lucrative with a mint-sell-mint loop:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Issue 2000 DAI backed by 1 ETH.<\/li>\n<li>Exchange the obtained DAI for 0.77 ETH.<\/li>\n<li>Issue collateralized 0.77 ETH for 1600 DAI.<\/li>\n<li>Again exchange DAI for 0.6 ETH.<\/li>\n<li>Total received 2.37 ETH.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Similar chains can be built for other instruments that issue one token collateralized by another. However, when developing strategies, investors face two problems:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>transaction fees can turn a potentially profitable strategy into a loss. For example, on Ethereum, a contract call fee can reach $700;<\/li>\n<li>you need to constantly monitor the market and adjust the strategy. Token prices, user preferences of DeFi services, and investment yields can change within hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Solutions are offered by companies specializing in DeFi instruments: <a class=\"tracking_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinchange.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coinchange<\/a>, Celsius, NEXO, BlockFi and others. They analyse the market, create compounding strategies, and invest clients&#8217; funds in popular protocols.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much can you earn on deposits<\/h2>\n<p>Coinchange operates across four blockchains: Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon and BNB Chain. The platform collects data on service yields and builds investment strategies based on the information gathered.<\/p>\n<p>To minimise the impact of transaction fees on profits, Coinchange uses an off-chain\u2013on-chain scheme. A centralized server processes the information, designs the investment strategy, and issues instructions to proxy contracts. They combine the steps of the strategy into a single transaction, thereby spending less gas.<\/p>\n<p>According to Coinchange, the ceiling of passive investment yields in DeFi is <a class=\"tracking_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinchange.io\/earn-crypto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20% per year<\/a>. At the time of publication, savings accounts yield:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>USDT (ERC-20), USDC and DAI \u2014 13% per year;<\/li>\n<li>ETH \u2014 3% per year;<\/li>\n<li>BTC \u2014 0.6% per year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unlike DeFi farms and crypto lending services, Coinchange has no withdrawal limits. For example, a user can withdraw funds from a farm for free only after a few weeks from deposit; otherwise a fee of up to 20% applies. Lending services may prohibit withdrawals for one or more months.<\/p>\n<p>Stablecoins are in constant circulation: they are both a trading instrument, a settlement medium, and collateral for exchange operations, hence the returns on such deposits are higher. Ethereum and Bitcoin are of greater interest to long-term investors.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testing Coinchange<\/h2>\n<p>To begin, create an account: provide your email address, first and last name, then choose a password and verify your phone number for two-factor authentication.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image6-56-1024x563.png\" alt=\"How to squeeze the maximum passive income from stablecoins: a review of Coinchange platform\" class=\"wp-image-173591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image6-56-1024x563.png 1024w, https:\/\/forklog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image6-56-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/forklog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image6-56-768x423.png 768w, https:\/\/forklog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image6-56-1536x845.png 1536w, https:\/\/forklog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image6-56.png 1999w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>During verification, you will need to briefly describe your occupation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After registration you must pass KYC\/AML.
