The structure of your capital determines how much you can earn.



Recently, a follower came to me complaining: holding one million in financial products yields only about 80,000 annually, and he felt the progress was too slow. After reviewing his account allocation, the problem was obvious—his funds were all in a "frozen" state with no layered planning, making it impossible to seize market opportunities.

Many people have a misconception: saving up one million means you can rest easy and earn interest. But this logic has many flaws in the crypto market.

**Why Fully Committing to Interest Earnings Is a Trap**

First, the return ceiling is too low. Mainstream stablecoin investments typically offer annualized yields between 3% and 8%. With one million principal, the best case is earning only about 80,000. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's market volatility exceeds 100% annually, meaning the opportunity cost of not investing elsewhere far exceeds that interest income.

Second, your funds are locked in. When a big market move happens, your money is stuck in financial products—either you watch opportunities slip away or you face penalties and early redemption costs. In the crypto world, market moves are fleeting; by the time your funds are unfrozen, the best window has already closed.

Regarding risk management, earning interest seems stable but can't truly guard against black swan events like exchange risks or stablecoin de-pegging. Real stability isn't about avoiding the market but about controlling risk through scientific asset allocation.

**How to Truly "Activate" Your Money**

The core idea is simple: funds with different risk levels require different allocation strategies. Instead of putting all eggs in one basket, distribute your assets proportionally across different types of investments. This approach maintains liquidity while allowing you to seize opportunities when the market turns. It’s the key strategy I’ve used to help many million-level investors achieve asset breakthroughs.

Full-position interest eating is indeed a trap; the money gets locked in this way.

hypothesis: freezing capital is basically the modern equivalent of burying gold—technically "safe" but you miss every caravan that passes by ngl, the cross-chain paradigm here applies perfectly... capital should flow, not stagnate

Full-position wealth management is about waiting for the wind to come, but the problem is that by the time the wind arrives, you've already been frozen.

80,000 yuan a year? That's just digging a hole for yourself. When the market comes, the money will still be locked up.

Now it feels like an 8% return is really not that meaningful; the opportunity cost missed has already been made up.

A million in interest really blows my mind. I did the same thing last year, a painful lesson.
