5 Altcoins That Pay Dividends to HODL

by Pragati Shrivastava

It is a common notion among crypto traders that the only way to earn from cryptocurrencies is through day-trading, but there are several ways to earn passive income for just HODLing. Indeed, one of the popular ways is to earn is through dividends on altcoins that you hold long-term.

What is a crypto dividend?

Savings accounts from a bygone era used to pay over 5% annual interest just for holding funds with the bank. In essence, you let the bank invest your money and you get a small percentage by way of a dividend. Unfortunately, bank rates are pretty terrible these days and our money gets locked into long-term agreements with little return. In comparison, crypto dividends give HODLers bigger payouts than traditional banks.

How is this possible?

The overhead is extremely low for most cryptocurrency projects. Most crypto teams work remotely while most banks still operate within a bricks and mortar structure with associated costs. And while banks turn your deposits into 5x gains, Proof of Stake crypto projects are often more appreciative of your support. By HODLing an altcoin, you are keeping their system secure and more stable. In other words, your investment is a ‘stake’ in the project’s overall success. Staking your cryptocurrency has a compounding effect on deposits. When you stake cryptocurrencies and keep them in a network’s wallet, you get payouts from time to time. This payout is a crypto dividend.
