Each crypto cycle has a dominant way to make money.
Those who follow the trend, even if not highly skilled in trading, still have opportunities.
- 2021: NFT – buy early, flip fast
- 2022: Staking & airdrop – bad market but still has capital flow
- 2023–2024: Tap-to-earn, mini app – interaction for rewards
- 2025: Memecoin & InfoFi – high returns, high risk
- 2026: Farm from active products (live product)
The difference in 2026 is:
