There are a few ways to earn passive income from your crypto holdings, including staking, crypto lending, yield farming, and decentralized finance (DeFi). As I write this, platforms like Aave (CRYPTO: AAVE) and Compound (CRYPTO: COMP) pay annual percentage yields (APYs) of 4.79% and 3.27%, respectively, on USD Coin (CRYPTO: USDC) .

However, there are limited consumer protections on crypto lending platforms, which can make them a risky way to generate yield . For example, many users lost money when the Celsius lending platform collapsed. Staking is a safer way to put your crypto to work.
