One of the questions I ask myself more often is: which Earn product should I choose right now, given what’s happening in the market? Because the yield and the usefulness of the product depend heavily on current conditions.

When the market is highly volatile and prices are moving actively, flexible staking seems more logical — you can withdraw funds quickly and take advantage of price movements without waiting for the lock-up period to end.

When the market is calmer and there is no intention to frequently rebalance assets, fixed products may be more appropriate — the higher yield compensates for the fact that the funds are “locked” for a certain period.

Another factor is the asset itself. The yield and terms of Earn products can vary depending on whether it is a stablecoin or a more volatile cryptocurrency, so it’s worth looking not only at the yield number, but also at how stable the asset you’re depositing is on its own.
