Investing in altcoins has not paid off. Most tokens have 'rolled back' 2-3 times (or more) from their December values since the beginning of 2025. I am glad that I invested no more than 10% of my deposit in them. Therefore, in terms of investing, I have focused on cryptocurrencies such as stablecoins USDT, USDC, FDUSD, of course Bitcoin (BTC), as well as the exchange token BNB.
Stablecoins USDT, USDC, and FDUSD provide decent returns in Simple Earn staking with flexible terms. BTC shows stable growth in the long term. The Binance token (BNB), stablecoins USDC and FDUSD can be used to obtain tokens in Launchpool when they are launched on Binance. I do not buy new altcoins on the spot.
