On exchanges, there is statistics that for 10 years not a single profitable account exists. Simply everyone loses money. I have divided types of earnings into what works now, and into those which earlier, yes, could have been relevant, interesting, cool, but today it is not even worth spending your time on them. But in today's video, I will show at least one type of earning for a small deposit, on which one can make 50-100% profit per month with some nuances, but it works. I have comrades and friends who for more than a year they easily pull out 5, 6, 7, 10,000 dollars from there. That is, to hypothetically deposit a test 20 dollars and on them make there 5-15% [music] per one trade in 1-2 hours. This is such a powerful, cool instrument. [music]
I greet you, friends. My name is Nikita. You are on the Crypts channel. And today we with you are analyzing the best ways to earn on crypto for 2026. I have divided types of earnings into what works now, and into those which earlier, yes, could have been relevant, interesting, cool, but today it is not even worth spending your time on them. And before, friends, someone, perhaps, says that crypto is a scam, it is now dead, some spheres, maybe, yes, but in today's video, I will show at least one type of earning for a small deposit, on which one can make 50-100% profit per month with some nuances, but it works.
Let's start, we, friends, today, of course, with my favorite, with investments. Now we will somewhere tier list there throw it in. This is the only way to multiply money, on which one can get rich in the long term, both with a small and with a large capital. In terms of this instrument suits. The fact that it doesn't matter, one can invest, start from five, from 10 dollars. The main thing is to do it regularly. And if you have there a deposit of several million dollars, or even more, it is also the right instrument in the market. This will be absorbed. This is actually [music] the largest instrument for large capital or the most suitable.
And now Alt, as you understand, is already in a strong decline. Yes, this we all have long seen. But even Ether is approaching its bottom of the last four years. And profitability on investments, it is made or, at least, sown exactly when we buy low. The main rule here, of course, is regularity to invest not your last money and what you don't mind losing, because that way we will simply be more psychologically stable [music] to hold drawdowns or outlast drawdowns in the market, we will not worry, twitch and sell at the very bottom. And, of course, not to buy into a scam. If these points are covered, then investments start to work.
On average, over the last 4 years, top altcoins gave at the right moments. They also grew and fell by 500, by 1,000% profit. Naturally, this did not last all 4 years, there were simply pumps, there were falls again, pumps again. This I am not even talking about the altseason of 2021. Despite the fact that crypto has not yet widely grown, as before, as in the same twenty-first, twenty-second year. Among the disadvantages: with investments, we, unfortunately, will not be able to earn much and quickly, but in the long term, it, as a rule, turns out to be the most profitable instrument thanks to compound interest. And the fact that there, like in such a piggy bank with posted interest on interest, our capital accumulates, if we are in the right coins. The most important danger here is to overestimate your risks and simply shave your deposit on, as I already said, on a scam coin, that is, a project that is not needed or simply will not be successful for one reason or another. Well, bad team marketing, or simply it has no integration.
Therefore, investments work like a storage, where we simply constantly put a part of our income, precisely constantly for many, many years. And the market it is created to grow, to use them in terms of investments, one needs to have income at the moment. Therefore, where do we place investments? Investments, friends, are actually imba. Yes, let it not be fast, but this is what, as I already said, markets are created to grow. Yes, one can now stick into my portfolio, but there everything will be good, long-term.
Next up we have Meteora. Maybe someone knows about it, maybe someone hasn't heard about it, but I won't greatly postpone the coolest part of the video until the end of this video. Meteora, in short, let's immediately get to the point. This is an instrument that has been working for more than a year. That is, maybe it works further. Simply our team has been working with it, working for more than a year. And it precisely allows [music] to make 50, 100, 200% on your deposit in a good month. Well, there hypothetically to make 2x almost stably. Almost. Well, because sometimes two doesn't work out, it turns out there 70-50% in very silly lazy months. The magic in Meteora lies in the fact that here one can start earning even with 100 dollars, and one can even practice with twenty. That is, here a large capital is not needed in order to receive the same income in percentages that you will receive on a larger capital. That is, to hypothetically deposit a test 20 dollars and on them make there 5-15% per one trade in 1-2 hours. This is such a powerful, cool instrument.
Maybe, profitability there after this video will drop, if one tells this to a wide audience. But I hope not, because this is not a simple instrument. That is, we need to figure it out a bit. Meteora is, in essence, a farm on Solana. And the earning scheme there is built on the fact that we, in essence, provide liquidity our coins, Solanas into shitcoins, on which at the moment there are high trading volumes. This is the first important condition. That is, many people trade them at the moment when we deposit liquidity there. And also high commissions in the pool for trading these coins. And, accordingly, as a consequence of the fact that many people trade these coins, they pay commissions, and we receive these commissions in the form of income. That is, this is like such farming on maximums.
Only Meteora, they created very special DLMm pools, which allows to buy back the coin the more, the lower it falls. Now I will show you, so that it is clearer. In short, how it works. I will now just quickly run through so that you understand the general essence of the mechanics, and then one can already with the help of Google or some neural network already more deeply understand. Here, for example, there is such a coin. I will not now check it, for scam or not for scam. This should be done properly, but I will just show what here thanks to this instrument one can essentially do. That is, we have here Solana, for example, which we can send to a liquidity pool. Special settings are set, which allow to buy back, the more shitcoin for this Solana, the stronger the rate will fall. That is, here in the range the coin falls, and we earn from its fall in essence. But we don't even short it, we simply provide more liquidity, the lower it falls. I will just create now a test position.
And, accordingly, here we earn the more, the more volatility on the coin and the more trading volumes. Here one simply needs to keep in mind that we need to check the coin for the fact of a scam. Here, for example, on GMG. Since this is such a collective image of different rubrics, I will say that this thing works and works very well. If interested, how, write a comment, or I highly recommend looking up what Meteora is, because here one can now earn very, very well. And with such simple movements, yes, plus a little analytics, which takes, well, 37 seconds, probably, for each coin, I said offhand, but up to a minute there will be such results, which I will now show you on the screen. This is directly from our guys there, with whom we are currently storming Meteora together. This is what has actually been possible to do in the current market over the last couple of weeks, months. So keep in mind, a good thing.
Therefore, yes, friends, if one trains, there will be such results, and this is, accordingly, percentage profit for 1-2 hours of being in such a position, in which I will now deposit my Solanas. Now let's move on to the nuances, about which I spoke at the very beginning of the video. This thing works on a relatively small deposit. It is clear that now it's a bear market and everyone's deposits are relatively small compared to what they were a year or two, maybe, ago. But more than 10,000 dollars into a shitcoin will be quite difficult to place. Why? Because here we often use coins, whose capitalization is there 500,000 dollars or 1 million. And, accordingly, we will very strongly influence liquidity. From us they can simply close, unload or we will not earn enough commissions. Therefore, this thing is better suited for a small deposit. There from 50 dollars, 100 dollars, 1,000, 2-3,000 dollars. This is generally such a golden mean. More already not into all coins one will be able to enter.
Also risk. Here one can, friends, get shaved, because if we don't exit the trade in time and the shitcoin, for example, scams, which is why I said before that one needs to check them for scam, then one can lose everything. Methods, how to check, they are different, yes. And one needs to be able therefore to analyze insider wallets, generally the potential for a coin's scam and, accordingly, of course, observe risk management. Also among the disadvantages is that this cannot be done 24x7, because there are days when in a day there is only one suitable coin, in which we can farm there for 30 minutes, 60 minutes, sometimes there even 2, 3-4 hours. And there are days completely without coins, but there are also in the opposite direction and great days with large volumes, for example, on a local market growth, because what is interesting to us, it is to me first and foremost interesting volumes relative to TVL, because we load TVL there and, accordingly, this is what participates in commissions. And, accordingly, the larger the volumes on what we loaded there, the more commissions we receive. These are volumes more than 100%. And for the commission ideally to also be there 2-3%. And such pairs at the moment even of recording this video, as you see, are not present now, but they appear there once a day or once every few days. And this thing is good to monitor sometimes, because if we miss it, we will have to wait for the next suitable coin.
Therefore what turns out in terms of profitability. And I have comrades and friends, who are engaged, they live on Meteora for more than a year. They easily pull out 5, 6, 7, 10,000 dollars from there, precisely on a 10,000 deposit, because there is no more sense. And simply as if they cover their expenses. Therefore, in terms of profitability, Meteora is 100% imba. That is the coolest S-tier, right? And this means not Simba, as in kings, but these are separate phrases. But, friends, we need to be objective here, therefore due to high complexity, because one really needs to figure it out, I will put Meteora in A-tier. Yes, it is very cool, but yes, there are risks, on which one can potentially get shaved. And also one needs to figure it out, because there one needs to understand levels, on which the coin will potentially hold. Particles of trading there are particles of DeFi, particles of liquidity pools. All this gathers into such a Deadpool-like dog, a mess, it turns out, Meteora, but there is money there now. Therefore, the complexity precisely in the entry threshold can be overcome. Therefore, due to large income, this will be a category. And if it were simpler, it would be, well, I don't know, I probably wouldn't have placed it, because this is still local, yes, although who knows. Therefore such, friends, are the matters. Meteora, it now feeds so that one could, for example, replenish a part of the income, which we earned there. And generally all, if, for example, you very strongly believe in crypto and in investments, in investments themselves. That is, we from local speculative stories load money into more or less speculative or fundamental, depending on the coin we choose, assets.
So, the next thing we will evaluate today, so to speak, in our tier list - this is, of course, drops, retro-drops, different generally types of drops, which exist in our crypto market today. There was a time and there was a world, a world of wizards. Earlier one could take 500-2,000 dollars basically on drops. This I am talking about 2023-2024. You can watch our channel, as it should be. It was cool. I on Solana from the last good cases a year ago, even less, it was September or October of 2025, almost a year, took there about twenty thousand from one account without the last big cases. And that's it. From that moment I heard nothing more about drops neither from myself, there, nor from my crypto-circle of acquaintances.
But in the current market, it is simply unprofitable for teams to distribute tokens for advertising, because the whole essence of retro-drops - it is about they wrote about the project, how much money it distributed. Probably, it is worth buying it, because good news about it is still coming out. And, accordingly, people buy, since there are very few people in the market now, drops, accordingly, are not there, team projects are not very eager to launch. Plus now new projects are being built relatively little, because these fat checks of 100, 200, 300, 400 million dollars of investments, which came into projects there after two, in 2022-23, they as if ended. And many new projects are not being built now, therefore drops, of course, undoubtedly exist, they will be, simply the probability of finding them now and getting good money is very small. There is no influx of new audience, for whom this action was done. Therefore, for now, there is no earning here.
Once upon a time, I would have put drops in B-tier. Well, maybe in A, damn, not with a stretch in B-tier I would have put it. For now, there is no earning now. To get shaved here is also difficult. That is, this is as if not futures, where it can liquidate us. We can control how much money we invest in a project, but we initially burn them. And we hope that there, as if, the lord of the whole project will take pity and pour us a sir airdrop. This will be category D. it is not very worth it there, as for me, now, to spend your time, if there are no insights or a clear understanding of what we are doing with this project. I am not saying that this sphere has died, perhaps stray projects will shoot. Now it feels not very good. As of today, this is long and not massive.
So, friends, the next thing we will analyze today - this is farming. Farming - this is a very good thing, yes, because we there can receive percentages on our stablecoins or other assets, simply by providing them as liquidity to DeFi platforms. This is, in essence, the same Meteora, only that, from where Meteora later came out or appeared, yes? That is, this is still such old-school farming. However, there is a nuance, that during April there was almost no day without hacks of various DeFi projects from small simply to great. Therefore, for now, risks are elevated not only from impermanent loss, where we lose a part of our deposit, if one coin relative to another grows or falls, but also because of the risk of hacking the project protocol itself, where money is stored and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of user tokens were withdrawn. Literally a month ago I would put farming considering the circumstances for now in C or even D tier, but if for now just from hacks then profitability for example on the same stablecoins It is now in farming from 8 to 15% per dollar precisely on those more risky projects, yes, on those where there is practically no risk, it is there 1-3% annual per buck depending on trust in the platform and liquidity.
That is, if we want to receive a lot, we need to constantly change platforms. If we want small risk, then we will receive little. When there are no hacks, this is not a bad instrument for outrunning inflation in dollars, if we, for example, farm dollars. But now this is an elevated risk, therefore right somewhere in the middle I would place it. And, probably, still this is better than drops, farming I would put here, because one can find good projects, good pools. And they have now compensated all their losses, which were, the community gathered. Therefore, considering that now temporarily there are worse circumstances, I will assign farming to C, normally in the current market. And here somewhere BCD it always is in this category.
Next - this is hyperliquidity or Hyperliquid, if translating the project literally. This is a decentralized protocol for trading. But here we do not need to trade, here we will not need to trade. We can instead send here our stablecoins, and they will be used to liquidate reckless traders. Every time a trader loses, precisely in the context, I mean Hyperliquid, mathematically these are such market participants, who in the long run always and everyone loses, we earn. That is, we simply send our stablecoins our USDT, for example, into the protocol. And further it simply accrues us profitability as others lose. That is, yes, in essence, we earn on the losses of other people, but it is their choice to engage in that activity, which they engage in. Someone at the moment, because they also earn.
Look, here is another point, yes, the official profitability on Hyperliquid, which we can find, if we simply look at statistics, not even statistics, but what is written, yes, on the buttons, it is somewhere 7-9% per dollar. This is moreover not bad. Here it is better than in the same farming, the higher. But actually over the last year it was 30%, that is, somewhere 28-30 with change, 31-32%. Because in moments of market collapse, as, for example, October 10, 2025, earnings, attack, when everything at the moment fell by 50, by 80%, when there were simply huge crazy liquidations, in a day the earning was about 10% in 1 day, because there were many liquidations, very large earnings. Therefore such extremes are not taken into account in the average annual profitability.
Among the risks, however, if traders suddenly start massively earning in some way, then we, as providers of liquidity in Hyperliquid, will start to lose. Such a thing, truly, has never happened yet. This is, probably, such a more ghostly risk, that all traders will start to earn. Well, I think you understand, yes, the math. But this is the main risk besides a potential hack. As for hacking, Hyperliquid has an insurance fund, which covers the money, which is there in the pool. Therefore, friends, due to the fact that our profitability here is generally not bad, at least, and for stablecoins, for USDT, yes, but this is not a direction, where one can, for example, choose different platforms. We choose not from a multitude of projects, but are content still with only one project. That is, we sit long in one project, because, well, as if here it's not like in Meteora where you entered and exited after 15 minutes, but here we sit there for a month, two-three, a year generally, maybe even longer. That is, we are more exposed because of this to the risk of some, for example, potential scam, yes.
Therefore, due to the fact that these risks remain, plus profitability is as if not 30 and not 50-100% per month, as there is in this tier list, but 30% per year, let it be on a larger volume and nothing needs to be done, I will modestly assign Hyperliquid to B-tier, as good. Hyperliquid - a very good project for precisely its use. And Svyatoslav, for example, my good friend, in his fund actively uses it to increase the profitability of his clients.
So, next up we have - this is trading. To trading we, of course, relate now, I don't know, either in A, or in C, or in Very good, or directly imba, that which everyone needs to do on family holidays, especially on Christmas. I'm joking, of course, friends. As for trading. Trading people, who got rich on trading and preserved their capital, well, long-term, yes, they at the moment there worked for a year, there 5-10 years, maybe more, they are few. On exchanges there is statistics, that for 10 years not a single profitable account exists. Simply everyone loses money. That is, someone there most in the first months, there the first year and for 10 years there is not a single profitable account. At least, from three exchanges such statistics happen. This is not only crypto roles do not play, simply on crypto one can get shaved faster.
Therefore, as for trading, yes, at the moment it can be fun, at the moment we can catch a trend and earn well, yes, but I personally do not know a single professional trader, who lives only on trading and for whom everything is good long-term. I know people, who trade there for a year or two. They, the fact that they caught a wave, their way of thinking coincides with the way of thinking of the market. But the problem is that this will not always be so. And very often it is difficult to adapt to this, yes, even if one engages professionally. I know, there are one-two good traders on YouTube, I personally did not communicate with them, did not hold a candle, but from my personal circle, and I know very many people in crypto, not one of them got rich on trading, without losing money afterwards.
Therefore traders in the long run are beaten by ordinary investments in Warren Buffett. I think this has already been proven many times. And only because at the moment in trading one might get lucky or we might catch a wave. I will put trading not in E, but in D. Well, as if one can play, yes, but understand that sooner or later here with a high probability there will be a loss.
Now let's go further. So-called tokens, allocations and etc. and so on. Earlier we earned very well on sales, for example, in 2021, 2022 and even still in 2023, when we entered partly. But now projects have made a scheme, by which they sell their tokens expensively initially and simply then roll the price of the chart down. Earlier, on the contrary, they did not sell very cheaply, pumped and on the pullback from the pump dropped. Now they understood that, well, pumping is not even necessary. One can simply sell expensively, yes, and then unload. Therefore tokens are not very relevant now. For example, Scroll rolled down from the token price by -99%.
Once again, from the token price, not from the market price. That is, at what price early investors were told, guys, like, here you have an opportunity to buy the coin cheaply, all others will buy it from the exchange more expensively. In the end, it from all cheap cents made another -99%. It must give 100x to return to the token price. Now this niche, I mean token sales, it has died. It can be placed already in a new form, if talking about token sales in A-tier or potentially at some time even in S-tier. But for now, friends, this is E, the exception - this is a direct insight and connection with the team. Here when brotherly simply the owner of the team or a person close to him tells you, that you did a lot of good for me in my life, I want to thank you, here just throw a penny here, however much you don't mind into this project. Then yes, Token sale can work, in other cases for commoners, well no.
So, GameFi. Well, I think, I won't drag it out. E-tier also badly we throw it in, because this here relates there all sorts of play to earn, walk, to earn, to earn and so on. There were Stepn, which once, yes, pumped very well, I liked them very much. But in the current market there are no worthy projects, because a micro-pyramid, and all these projects are built on the mechanics of a pyramid, that is, there the one who entered later, pays to the one who entered earlier. They now work badly or do not work at all due to the absence of people, ready to take risks for free money, which they earned from the same investments, for example, or even there on a trader, because in a growing market trading works, all good traders.
Therefore if the market will be in a state of euphoria, this will happen someday, this will be relevant, yes, and at some point GameFi can be moved to category A, very good S, I don't know, B, probably, it will never be. Over the last year I have not met a single profitable game, which simply lasted there at least more than a month with adequate good income. Stepn's payback period was 30 days, then 45 days in good times. That is, deposited 3,000 dollars, pulled out fifty thousand from there. There were such things. Or there they made 40x on the token. There we rode well. Now I avoid similar projects.
Well, and the last, friends, staking, which remained here on our list. Unlike farming, we here send our cryptocurrency not to a separate protocol, which was created by people external to the blockchain creators, that is, a separate team, and we, who can hack, yes, we send our cryptocurrencies directly into the blockchain itself. That is, here, for example, the Ethereum blockchain, we can stake only Ether. Cosmos blockchain, we can stake only Cosmos and by analogy so on. In essence, we temporarily freeze our purchased coins so that the blockchain works, yes, for validation. And for this we receive a percentage of income in the token of that, which we into this blockchain, simply speaking, invested.
On Ether now one can get around 2.5-4% annual, I will speak floating figures, on Atom from 16 to 20% annual in coins. In coins means that we, maybe, entered there at 2 dollars for Atom in staking, received 20% annual, but it costs a dollar a year later. That is, as if the rate can be floating, we precisely quantitatively receive coins. That is, we believe in this coin, that it will grow. This is as if a good instrument. But the average adequate profitability so that the tokenomics does not break precisely long-term, this is somewhere 3-7%, and healthy - this is inflation up to 6%.
Because there is statistics, my friend told me that when a country's inflation is more than 6%, its currency enters a death spiral relative to the dollar. By analogy in crypto the token also rolls down on inflation. Among the risks of staking there is only that the coin, which we stake, can fall in price. But if we stake only those coins, which we simply bought, because we believe in their growth. This is a good, safe, additional instrument, to increase the quantity of your coins, while we hold them. The only thing that is worth checking further - this is the locking period of our coins, because sometimes withdrawal from the moment of submitting an application to your wallet, to withdraw them from the blockchain, from the protocol, more precisely simply from the blockchain, takes up to 21 days.
Therefore staking I would throw into category B. Yes, here profitability is less, than in Hyperliquid on stablecoins, but this is a super safe instrument, because here we have security at the protocol level. That is, well, if the blockchain hacks, then the coins, which we bought, we don't need them. And as of today it is clear, that there are more different sub-spheres of earning in crypto. Maybe, there are some local ones, about which I don't even know, yes, like Meteora, for example, local ones. There are some other projects, which could and should be mentioned, maybe write in the comments, but here precisely the relevant nine or, at least, the relevant 1 2 3 4 then as of today what can be used? Polymarket could also be added here, but I think, that this we will leave already for other next videos.
Drawing a line, friends, the most interesting thing as of today - this is to earn at the moment on Meteora, where one can make 50, 100, 200% per month depending on the deposit, depending on how much we sit in front of the computer, monitoring it, while controlling our risks. Meteora, by the way, is so cool, that I made a separate chat, where you can look at the real results of a real wallet. I will simply throw it there for you and earnings at the moment, to look at how it works, how much one can actually earn. A separate rubric on YouTube I do not want to make, because, well, it will be boring, but to be convinced of the results, I made for you and will leave a link below.
Profit after this, when you grow your deposit at least up to 10,000 dollars, one can already send into investments for market growth. After all, we are on the threshold of a new financial system, friends. One needs to understand this too. And long-term to invest and to invest in top alts, so that there is less risk. Or to pick something from the second, maybe, from the third page of CoinMarketCap. If you are wildly desperate, then to go even further, but with the risk of getting scammed. And, of course, friends, if you invest, check, can one stake the asset, which you bought. I will also throw a link for this in the description.
But if you simply want income per dollar or you as a decent investor leave a part of your money in stablecoins for further buyback, then they can be stored in Hyperliquid and, accordingly, receive an additional annual percentage on them. This is the most interesting mechanic for outrunning inflation in dollar as of today. For now from such more or less even more trustworthy projects.
Therefore, friends, please write in the comments, which directions to analyze next time and whether you agree with such a rating from me. Maybe, you can recommend something of your own and about what I, perhaps, should make a video in more detail. Also, friends, I thank you for watching today's video, and we with you will see each other in the next videos, friends. Everyone bye-bye.
