Cryptocurrency is not just about active trading. There are several ways to earn passively without spending time on charts and analysis. Here we explore 5 of the most reliable methods for generating passive income in crypto.
1. Staking
Lock your coins in the network and earn rewards for supporting its operation. ETH (up to 5% APY), SOL (7–9%), ADA (4–5%), DOT (12–15%). Yields vary, but this is one of the safest methods. Withdrawals are subject to a delay of 7 to 28 days depending on the network.
2. Yield Farming
Providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Returns can reach 20–100% APY, but there is the risk of impermanent loss. Best suited for experienced users who understand the mechanics of AMM protocols.
3. Managed Accounts
Entrust your capital to professionals — for example, the AMBER CRYPTO team. Average return under management: 127% in 2025. Fees charged on profits only. Minimum entry — from $1,000 for personal management and from $500 for the crypto fund. Monthly reporting and full transparency.
4. Crypto Funds
Collective investments allow you to enter the market from $500 with professional management. The AMBER fund diversifies capital across 30+ assets, pays returns quarterly, and charges fees on profits only.
5. Copy Trading
Copy the trades of successful traders. Binance, Bybit, and Bitget all offer built-in copy trading services. Minimal risk — you can disconnect at any time. But choose a trader with at least 6 months of history and a drawdown no greater than 30%.
We recommend combining 2–3 methods to diversify risk. The most reliable approach is managed account services combined with basic staking.
