šø My Flexible Earn Experience: Why I Lost PNL (and What I Learned)
I recently decided to try Binance Flexible Earn ā the feature that lets you earn passive income on idle crypto. It sounded perfect: I could earn daily rewards just by depositing coins. But after a few weeks, I noticed something strange...
š My PNL (Profit & Loss) was going down.
Hereās what really happened.
š§Ŗ What I Did
I deposited coins into Flexible Earn, including some volatile altcoins
I expected to see steady gains from daily APR rewards
But when I checked my portfolio ā I saw a net loss
ā Why I Lost PNL
š Coin price dropped more than the rewards I earned
Even though I got APR rewards, the tokenās market value fell sharply.
š I didnāt move out of low-APR assets
I left coins with very low APR (like 0.2%) while better options were available.
š Flexible APR isn't fixed
Some days the rewards were high, but other days were nearly zero.
š I wasnāt compounding or rebalancing
I didnāt track or switch to stronger-performing coins regularly.
š§ What I Learned
ā Stablecoins are safer for consistent APR (like USDT/FDUSD)
ā Check APR rates daily ā donāt āset and forgetā
ā Volatility can erase passive gains
ā Diversify with strategy, not just hope
š Final Thoughts
Flexible Earn is a good tool ā but itās not risk-free. The daily rewards look attractive, but if the coin drops 5% in a day and APR is only 2% annually⦠youāre still losing.
Now Iām more strategic:
I only park stablecoins, monitor APR closely, and pull out from volatile assets during downtrends.
