Grok built into X is like someone with no sex drive: ask it anything about stock investing or crypto, and it just plays dead.
So Uncle asked the same questions on the Grok bot, and the answers turned out to be surprisingly high-quality.
So, with the crypto market this dead, what else can we do?
Grok thinks that the colder the market gets, the more certainty shifts from “making money off other people” to “collecting service fees.” Here are the strategies, from most to least certain 👇
1️⃣ Earn steady yield: Put USDC and USDT into Aave, Morpho, or exchange yield products for roughly 4%–10% annualized. Pendle lets you lock in a fixed rate. The returns aren’t huge, but this is the surest bet in a dead market.
2️⃣ Funding-rate arbitrage: Go long spot and short perpetuals on the same coin to hedge out price movements and earn only the funding payments. No need to predict the direction. Ideally, switch sides in a bear market when everyone is rushing to short and funding rates turn negative.
3️⃣ New token launches and Alpha launches: Binance Alpha points, Launchpool, and new-token mining on various exchanges.
4️⃣ RWA and tokenized U.S. stocks: Things like Surf-style stock NFTs and on-chain U.S. Treasuries. If crypto isn’t doing well, use on-chain channels to make money from off-chain assets. This is the strongest narrative right now.
5️⃣ Sell the shovels: Your services are worth more when things are quiet. You can take on project partnerships, earn referral commissions, or run a paid community.
