In a bear market, there aren’t many great opportunities, so a lot of people are just holding onto their USDT, waiting for the right moment. At the same time, they don’t want it just sitting idle in their accounts. For most people, I think using some spare funds for exchange-based financial products is a relatively stable choice during times like this. Right now, Gate Launchpool happens to have two money-making events that can help put your idle funds to work: 1⃣ **SLX Mining** (already started) You can stake BTC, ETH, or SLX for mining, with a total of 2 million SLX up for grabs. If you already have BTC or ETH on hand, you can easily join and earn some extra rewards. 2⃣ **ANTFUN Mining** (starting soon) USDT, GUSD, and ANTFUN pools are all available for participation. Stake in advance, and once the project starts, you can start claiming rewards. Here’s a cool trick with GUSD for maximizing returns : - First, use USDT to mint GUSD and earn the current 3.8% annualized minting yield. - Then, stake GUSD in Launchpool to mine ANTFUN and stack additional rewards. - GUSD currently has zero redemption fees, so you can easily withdraw funds when the market presents opportunities. With one stablecoin, you can first earn minting yields, then collect Launchpool rewards, all while keeping the flexibility to act when opportunities arise. I’ve shared the event links and detailed rules in the comments section. If you’re interested, check it out! I’ve already prepped my GUSD~ Event rules, annualized yields, and rewards are subject to the actual display on Gate’s page.
