2. Earning Options via Binance (Centralized “Staking” / Earn Services)
While USDC itself isn’t stakable in a consensus mechanism, Binance offers earn products—like “Flexible” and “Locked” options—where you can deposit USDC to earn interest. These products function similarly to lending, rather than traditional staking
Promotional offers in the past include up to 15% APR on USDC Flexible or Locked Simple Earn products (e.g., a 5-day Locked product offering 15% APR)
Historical “Locked Savings” rates were around 7–8% APY for 7 to 90-day USDC lockups
