Lazy People's Must-See! OKX's 4 Major Products to Help You Earn Passive Income
Source: OKX
A deep retracement of Bitcoin during the Chinese New Year, with altcoins collectively plummeting, and many projects hitting new all-time lows. Market sentiment switched directly from fervent FOMO to panic. Many who were anticipating "financial freedom" before the New Year can now only self-mockingly refer to their losses with screenshots saying "not off to a good start." In this cycle of ups and downs, you may think you are practicing the quantitative art of "buying high and selling low," but in reality, you are constantly "chasing pumps and selling dumps," making trading decisions with adrenaline, leading to increasing losses in anxiety.
However, if you no longer want to be dominated by market sentiment and instead seek stable long-term returns, distancing yourself from the anxiety brought by violent fluctuations, then this article is prepared for you. You don't need to constantly monitor the market, predict trends, but rather use a reasonable strategy to build a "revenue engine," allowing your assets to operate on their own, steadily growing over time. The market will always have its highs and lows, but the smart approach is not to go with the flow but to let wealth automatically play the "compounding march," with capital working for you, rather than you working for the market.
This article summarizes OKX's four major "relatively low-risk" products with "relatively stable returns," exchanging time for gains, helping you earn passive income, transforming market volatility into stable returns. While others stay up late monitoring the market, anxiously chasing pumps and dumps, you can accumulate compounding gains effortlessly through a steady strategy, achieving long-term asset growth.
1. Easy Earn
Why let your assets sit idle when they can earn for you? Want your USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, and other crypto assets to realize their full potential? OKX Easy Earn matches your idle assets with users in need of loans, generating relatively stable returns for you. With 24/7 access, hourly interest calculation, and flexibility in deposits and withdrawals, your assets can continuously appreciate over time!
Moreover, there's no need to envy others' high returns. Generally, your first 1,000 USDT can earn a platform reward of 10.00% annual percentage yield (APY) within 180 days, exceeding 1.00% APY on balances over 1,000 USDT. Additionally, the APY for USDT and USDC can be quite significant during specific market conditions. For example, in the week of December 6, 2024, OKX's Easy Earn products offered an APY of 27.72% for USDT and 20.43% for USDC, far surpassing industry standards. With a hot market demand for loans, you can lend out idle funds at any time to increase passive income.
OKX's robust risk management system provides full security for your funds throughout the process. With just a few steps, your assets can intelligently "work" for you, achieving zero-threshold passive income.

II. On-Chain Earnings
If the "Simple Earn" feature does not have the cryptocurrency you want to lend, you can also choose "On-Chain Earnings." OKX On-Chain Earnings selects staking and DeFi protocols to help you earn on-chain rewards. However, please note that on-chain DeFi protocols are provided by third parties and carry certain risks. OKX does not provide any guarantees for their products or take responsibility for any losses incurred from using such products. Nevertheless, OKX rigorously reviews each protocol, assessing audit reports, performance, compliance, team background, and governance mechanisms, striving to offer you safer and more reliable on-chain earning products.
Staking and DeFi products have different reward mechanisms. Staking products earn rewards by helping secure the blockchain network, while DeFi products can generate returns through providing liquidity, participating in liquidity mining, lending, among other methods. You can choose the token you want to stake and proceed with the subscription. However, please be aware that on-chain earnings lack the flexibility of Simple Earn in terms of redemption. The distribution schedule of rewards for PoS staking products varies based on different blockchain mechanisms and may occur daily, weekly, or be distributed upon redemption along with the principal. Returns from DeFi products are typically distributed the day after redemption along with the principal, while additional rewards are usually distributed around 20:00 (UTC+8) daily.
For example, OKX has launched the SOL staking activity where staking SOL on the Solana network earns you a 1:1 OKSOL ratio, with the current reference annualized return reaching 10.89%. Additionally, staking ETH can earn up to 2% annualized APR, receiving a 1:1 BETH ratio, earning rewards daily while maintaining more liquidity.

III. Shark Fin
A brief summary of the core features of Shark Fin: Stable Earnings + Range Bonus. As a "capital-protected" structured product, OKX Shark Fin can steadily grow assets by tracking price fluctuations and earn annualized returns on USDT, BETH, and OKSOL. For conservative traders, if the market conditions are favorable, they can enjoy higher annualized returns. In conclusion, Shark Fin offers capital and interest protection, ensuring a minimum annualized return.
The operation of Shark Fin is very simple. It will track market changes based on price fluctuations to achieve dynamic yield enhancement. At the end of the product term, you will receive back the subscribed principal and the guaranteed basic annualized return. More importantly, if the settlement price falls within a specific range, you will receive a higher annualized return.
As shown in the following diagram, if the underlying price is below $9,200 or above $9,400 at maturity, you will earn a 3% annualized return. If the underlying price is between these two values, you will earn an annualized return matching 3% to 18%.
OKX Shark Fin offers flexible terms of 3 days and 7 days, allowing you to choose according to your needs. Whether it's a short-term "soup" or a long-term "meat," you can find a suitable solution. During subscription, you can place diversified orders through USDT, BETH, OKSOL, or concentrate on a single underlying asset. Such a design makes trading more convenient and helps you steadily appreciate your assets. In short, Shark Fin provides a secure and flexible trading option, allowing your assets to enjoy maximized returns within a secure framework.

Bloomberg: As Bitcoin Weakens, Stablecoins and RWA Continue to Drive Expansion in Crypto Businesses
In June, Bloomberg reported that despite Bitcoin falling below $60,000 last week, wiping out about $235 billion in market value within seven days, and dropping close to 50% from last year’s peak, some core businesses in the crypto industry are still expanding, mainly in stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization (RWA), payments, and infrastructure. The report also noted that overall altcoin activity has contracted significantly: altcoin market capitalization has fallen from a peak of about $431 billion in November 2021 to around $170 billion, and among the tens of millions of tokens issued in recent years, fewer than 1,700 still maintain meaningful trading activity.

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up
Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.
ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately
On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
