$ETH If you are in the crypto ecosystem, you surely know that Ethereum (ETH) is the giant that follows in the footsteps of Bitcoin. But did you know that by 2026 Ethereum is no longer just a "currency", but the infrastructure of a new financial order?
In this article, I explain in a simple way what it is, why it is so valuable, and most importantly, how you can use it on Binance to make money according to your risk profile.
1. WHAT IS ETHEREUM AND WHY IS IT SO POPULAR?
Unlike Bitcoin (which is like "digital gold"), Ethereum is a global software platform. Imagine a giant decentralized computer that no one can turn off and where applications run that do not depend on banks or governments.
Its popularity is due to the fact that it is the "foundation" of almost everything you see today: from NFTs to Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
🤔If the crypto world were a building, Ethereum would be the foundation and the pipes.
2. HOW DOES IT WORK AND WHY DOES IT COST SO MUCH?
Ethereum operates through Proof of Stake. This means that the network is maintained by people who "lock" their ETH to validate transactions, making it ultra-secure and eco-friendly.
Why is the price of ETH around $3,300 USD in 2026?
👉Real Utility: Thousands of applications need ETH to function.
👉Deflation: A portion of the network fees is "burned" (destroyed), making less ETH available each time.
😁Note Here I explain what Deflation means with an Example:
(Inflation vs. Deflation in the Economy)
General Economic Term and Meaning:
▶️Inflation: Prices rise, your money is worth less. There is more money circulating.
▶️Deflation: Prices go down, your money is worth more. There is less money circulating. 😁
👉Adoption: In 2026, large investment funds already see ETH as an essential asset in their portfolios.
3. IS IT SAFE TO INVEST IN ETHEREUM?
🤔Let's be clear: no investment is 100% safe, but Ethereum is one of the most robust options available:
👉Network Security: It is almost impossible to hack. You would need billions of dollars to control 51% of the network.
👉User Risk: This is where the danger lies. Most thefts occur due to user errors (losing keys or falling for scams).
In Binance, security is higher thanks to its protection protocols, but you must always be cautious.
4. INVESTMENT GUIDE ON BINANCE: HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH ETH?
Many see ETH only as something to buy and hold, but on Binance, you can get much more out of it. Here I classify the options by Risk Level:
🟢 Low Risk Level: Passive Income
Ideal for those who don't want to "complicate their lives" and want their money to grow on its own.
👉ETH Staking: You lock your coins in Binance Earn and receive daily rewards (approx. 3-5% annually). It's like having a savings account that pays interest in crypto.
👉 Simple Earn (Flexible and Locked):
For those seeking simplicity, Simple Earn allows depositing ETH and earning daily interest without the complexities of staking or dual investment.
▶️Flexible: You can withdraw your ETH at any time, offering total liquidity.
▶️Locked: You lock your funds for a fixed period (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 days) to obtain a slightly higher interest rate than the flexible option.
🤔 RISKS:
▶️In Flexible mode: You have total freedom. You can withdraw your investment at any time and you will receive both your capital and the interest accrued up to that second immediately.
▶️In Locked mode: Here you must be careful. If you decide to withdraw your money before the agreed term ends (for example, if you decide to withdraw the money after 15 days of a 30-day plan).
Binance will return 100% of your initial investment, but you will lose all rewards or interest you have generated during those days. Additionally, the return of capital is not instant; it may take between 48 and 72 hours to appear back in your Spot wallet.
🟡 Moderate Risk Level: Strategic Returns
For those who already understand a bit more about the market.
👉Dual Investment: You earn high interest no matter what.
▶️Sell High: If you already have ETH, set a future selling price (e.g., $3,500). If it reaches that price, you sell with profit + interest. If it doesn't reach it, you keep your ETH + interest.
▶️Buy Low: If you have USDT, set a purchase price (e.g., $3,000). If it drops to that price, you buy ETH cheaply + interest. If it doesn't drop, you keep your USDT + interest.
🤔Risk: You might end up buying ETH at a higher price than expected or selling ETH at a lower price than desired if the market moves against your target.
🔴 High Risk Level: The Search for the "Big Score" (High Profits, High Losses)
This is where users concentrate who are looking for exponential returns overnight.
🤔WARNING: Most people lose money here due to lack of experience.
👉Spot Trading: Buy ETH and sell it in the future for a profit. The risk is that the price may drop and you may have to sell at a loss or get "stuck" waiting for it to rise.
👉Futures Market: Bet on the future direction of ETH's price. You do not own the actual coin, only the contract.
▶️Leverage: It's the "magic" ingredient that people seek. Binance allows you to multiply your initial investment by 10x, 20x, or even 100x.
🤔Critical Risk: Leverage amplifies gains, but also losses. A small price movement against you can liquidate (completely eliminate) your entire position in seconds.
🤔 !!WARNING Trading is not a game for beginners!!.
👉In summary: Binance is a financial tool park.
You can choose the safe and slow path, or the fast and dangerous path.
The key to making money sustainably is education and risk management.
