In today's constantly fluctuating cryptocurrency market, many people buy coins and just leave them in their wallets, neither trading nor staking, resulting in assets really 'sleeping' and missing out on earning opportunities. In fact, there is a simple and flexible way to manage your finances—Binance's Soft Staking (holding coins for interest), which can help you earn rewards automatically without moving your coins.
What is Soft Staking?
Soft Staking, also known as 'soft pledge' or 'holding coins for interest' in Chinese, is different from traditional staking. Traditional staking often requires locking assets, making them unavailable for a certain period, while Soft Staking does not lock assets at all; they remain in your spot account and can be traded or withdrawn at any time. In simple terms, you put your coins in the Binance spot account, activate the holding coins for interest function, and the system will automatically connect your coins to the blockchain staking network, helping you earn native on-chain rewards.
For example, if you hold $NXPC , after activating Soft Staking, earnings are settled daily and directly credited to your spot account. You can sell part of your coins at any time; the portion sold will stop earning interest from that day on, while the remaining portion continues to generate earnings, completely unaffected by your trading rhythm.
Why choose Binance Soft Staking?
1. No threshold, easy operation
Simply open the Binance App, go to [Wealth Management] - [Holding Coins for Interest], and activate with one click. You can also easily find the entry point on the web version and activate it in seconds.
2. Flexible and free, trade anytime
Assets are not locked, funds are available at any time, no need to wait for the redemption period, free to buy and sell, completely uninterrupted trading plan.
3. Stable earnings, distributed daily
Earnings are pegged to on-chain staking returns, with relatively low volatility. For example, BTC has an annualized return of about 1.5%, SOL about 5.8%, and niche coins like MANTA can even reach 12.3%. Earnings are automatically credited daily, accumulating over time, with a noticeable compound effect.
4. No service fees, 100% of the earnings belong to you
Binance charges no service fees for holding coins for interest; all earnings belong to users.
Suitable for lazy people and low-frequency users
If you don't want to operate frequently, Soft Staking is the best choice for letting your assets 'work automatically'. As long as you hold coins, earnings will automatically be generated, completely passively.
The process is super simple:
Open the Binance App and click 'More' on the homepage
Find the 'Wealth Management' section and enter 'Holding Coins for Interest'
Check the supported coins for earning interest and confirm your holdings.
Maintain your holdings, and the system will automatically start earning rewards without additional operations
Warm Reminder:
Holding coins for interest only applies to assets in the spot account; coins on orders or participating in Launchpool do not count towards earnings.
If you hold highly volatile coins, you can appropriately pair them with stablecoins like USDT or FDUSD to reduce risk.
