As the bull run in crypto is gaining steam in early 2024 catalyzed by the Dencun Ethereum (ETH) upgrade and the fourth Bitcoin (BTC) halving, newcomers and pros are looking for ways to protect and grow their capital gains.
Yield App, a reliable battle-tested wealth generation application, offers an unrivaled stack of opportunities for Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoin holders backed by low-risk strategies and attractive APY rates.
Earning stable interest with Yield App: Highlights
Launched back in Q1, 2021, Yield App is an ecosystem of services for yield generation on cryptocurrency deposits. It works with fiat as well and offers up to 25% APY.
- Typically, passive yield generation strategies are associated with high-risk schemes or providing liquidity in DeFi, which is associated with shady financial activity or requires specific expertise in Web3.
- Yield App is changing the narrative as it generates yield without providing money for on-chain lending or MLM schemes.
- Instead, Yield App relies on market-neutral strategies and a risk-averse approach in working with client money.
- Users of Yield App are invited to generate yield on their deposits in dozens of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and U.S. Dollar Tether (USDT).
- Yield App accepts deposits in Euro (EUR) and Great Britain Pound (GBP); fiat-to-crypto exchange is also available to all customers.
- Crypto owners can start using Yield App after a streamlined account setup and effortless KYC checks.
Yield App's tokenomical design is underpinned by the native YLD token on Ethereum (ETH), while its technical stack includes Haven1, an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain optimized for DeFi-centric use cases.
Generating income on dormant crypto: Top 3 ways
Despite the cryptocurrency segment allowing a number of ways to benefit from working with crypto, only few of them can really be associated with passive or “semi-passive” income.
Liquidity provision in DeFi
In the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, you can benefit from injecting liquidity into the lending pool. Not unlike services of mainstream Web2 banks, borrowers get the yield generated by lenders who pay for the money they obtain from DeFi.
This scheme looks secure, but heavily depends on the prices of all currencies involved, takes expertise in DeFi and can be slow and resource-ineffective due to high fees.
High-risk apps
This scheme can be compared to “quick income” schemes: “Early birds” share the liquidity injected by next generations of participants. Such mechanisms only work when new participants join the process.
While these schemes are typically associated with very high APY rates, most of them fail sooner or later. Also, in some jurisdictions, such activity is illicit.
Centralized earning platforms
Centralized earning platforms merge the benefits of various classes of yield generating apps. Just like Web2 banks, they do not leverage users' funds in risky schemes. Instead, the assets deposited by customers are used as liquidity in conservative, risk-averse businesses.
This class of applications work with stable and predictable yield rates. When it comes to crypto, they access the widest range of cryptocurrencies, including both Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins. The majority of them rely on centralized storage and organize KYC/AML checks for potential clients. This class of yield apps is the most secure and cost-efficient one. Also, it is the go-to solution for customers with no previous experience in finance, crypto or investments.
Introducing Yield App, secure and newbie-friendly wealth management app
Starting from early 2021, Yield App, a cryptocurrency yield generation machine, onboards depositors of Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins. With Yield App, everyone can “park” his or her crypto to get up to 25% in APY.

Yield App’s tokenomic design is underpinned by YLD token issued as an ERC-20 asset on the top of the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain. As of Q1, 2024, YLD token is available for trading on major centralized (KuCoin, Gate.io) and decentralized (Uniswap, QuickSwap) cryptocurrency exchanges. YLD is integrated into various activities on Yield App as its major utility token.
