Can I earn just by holding my Ethereum

[GeneralEth]

I’ve been holding onto my Ethereum and Bitcoin cash for a while now, and honestly, I’ve been unsure about what to do with it. I know ETH is a valuable asset, but simply holding it doesn't seem like the best way to maximize its potential. Price has been flying up and down recently, but i'm bullish on it with the upcoming ETF approval, that is if it was approved it will be a plus for most retail holders like myself. Do you have any idea how i can make the most out of my holdings.

You can choose to buy altcoins under the Ethereum blockchain like Pepe and the past few days has mirrored this rise.
There are others like Shiba that's under and I believe would benefit from any news that screams positive for ETH since their market cap and price  is relatively lower and thus more volatile than ETH itself.
If you going long term though you can hold BTC and add some ETH to it.

If Ethereum ETF finally get approval, we will see rallies on altcoins and ethereum together with Bitcoin has high chance of breaking the all time high. So my advice is that you should keep your ethereum tight, there is high tendency of Ethereum reaching 10k price, staking your Bitcoin might comes with lock condition that might stop you from selling.

Even with decentralized staking finance like compound finance reward are low, I don't know what you want to do with 3.5 p.a interest on your ethereum you have hold for long time.

Today I was seen that news that the Ethereum ETF approval discussion is ongoing with the US SEC and people are predicting that the price will reach $6k to $10k and if it reach that amount then those who have been investing and hodling for since last year will smile and make it from the investment. So I still encourage the Op to continue holding because good news is coming on the way so keep on holding the Ethereum and if possible you can increase the portfolio so that when it finally approve then you make good profit.

Well, the Ethereum ETF has been approved just hours ago, but there's no significant price increase towards the price of Ethereum as of this moment.
Now to your question, there are some ways for you to earn using your Ethereum.

1. Capital Appreciation - this is what you're doing right now. Buy and hold, and yes it takes time to make profits, but that's how the strategy works.
2. Staking - Stake it with a validator out there. Based on stakingrewards.com, you can earn 3.69% annually by staking it. Better than just storing it.
3. Trade - You can use your Ethereum to trade as well. I don't recommend this to newbies though.
4. Use your ETH to buy coins - this is self-explanatory. No need to explain to you.

Overall, there are many ways for you to earn using your Ethereum. It will all depends on how knowledgeable you are, the risk, and the amount of time you are willing to give.

For now I think it's better to  stake on a trusted exchange, you still have ETH and can get other benefits from the results of the staking you do.

When bullrun conditions like this seem very suitable for long-term and short-term trading. Staking will be more suitable if there is a bearish season where price movement conditions in the market are not good, so staking is the best choice to get income from cryptocurrency even though prices in the market are collapsing.

What this means is that you want to get while holding? of course you can. with staking or other programs that give you pretty good APY or returns. Make sure that it is all done on a platform that has a good reputation, even if the results are not very high, but at least it is enough to make you trust the platform.
Check out some of the exchange listings on
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges
then you will find it.

But the thing is, it might not be as big as you think. Therefore, if you are in doubt, just let your Bitcoin and Ethereum be in your wallet. and store it neatly. If you have implemented it and wait until the price target you expect is reached, then you will get a profit from the investment or holding. This means don't panic easily and panic sell when the market is correcting.

There are many staking platforms, where you can add your ether- to stake

You are read about it here
https://ethereum.org/en/staking/

Solo home staking, Staking as a service, Pooled staking and staking in Centralized exchanges (the most risky).

Whatever you do, do not sell right now. Keep HODLing for now. Diversify your portfolio as well. DCA into ETH and BTC. Now after the ETF approval, it's all about the waiting game. The price will go up but not right away. Wait and watch for now.

Hmm, if know how to trade, and have some skills in it and a little experience as well, then try to trade with ETH, to manage the risk you can hold X % and trade with Y % in ETH, yup there's no doubt that ETH is still undervalued but at current price hmm I cant say anything, still ETH ahs a lot of potential, make sure if you don't have any trading experience just hold and try to adopt DCA if you are still bullish want to accumulate for in ETH.

No doubt ETH won't disappoint in this journey.

Yes, we can trade and also hold ethereum.  For daily trading we can earn daily profits.  And of course this requires skill and experience...Because becoming a professional takes time.  To hold, we can also stake, choose a reputable exchange and stake there.  The price of ethereum is also quite high at the moment, so I don't dare suggest buying, wait for a correction if you want to buy.

One way to make most of your holdings is by staking it. Bitget warning  )/support/articles/12560603809977]Bitget eth apy[/url] if that suits your fancy to you can consider. Otherwise keep holding 🚀

Besides simple holding and staking, ETH holders can also provide liquidity on UniSwap to get slightly higher APR than staking rewards.

If they are willing to accept a slightly higher risk, ETH holders can join the LSD and LRD trend to maximize profits from the restaking wave in the market. Although restaking has some problems related to the stability and security of the ecosystem in case of a sudden drop in ETH price, its profits are really attractive as holders can receive income from multiple layers.
