- Users earn automatic rewards on assets in Funding, Spot, Margin, and Futures accounts without any lock-up period
- Eight cryptocurrencies supported initially, including USDT and USDC offering up to 3% APR
- Earnings credited daily with no impact on trading activities or open orders
- Minimum holdings range from 0.01 ETH to 50 DOT depending on the cryptocurrency
- Feature available through both web platform and mobile app with simple one-click activation.
KuCoin has rolled out a new passive income feature called Hold to Earn, allowing users to generate returns on their cryptocurrency holdings without sacrificing liquidity or trading flexibility.
The program went live today and supports eight major cryptocurrencies with annual percentage rates ranging from 0.5% to 3%.
The Hold to Earn program addresses a common pain point in cryptocurrency staking: the trade-off between earning rewards and maintaining access to funds.
Unlike traditional staking mechanisms that require users to lock their assets for fixed periods, this feature lets traders continue using their holdings normally while collecting daily interest.
USDT and USDC lead the supported assets with the highest potential returns at 3% APR.
Users need to hold a minimum of 10 units of either stablecoin, with maximum caps set at 5 million USDT and 2 million USDC respectively.
Other supported cryptocurrencies include
- DOT at 1% APR,
- SOL at 0.8%, and
- NEAR at 0.6%.
- Ethereum, ADA, and SUI round out the initial lineup at 0.5% APR each.
The program works automatically once enabled.
Users simply activate the feature through the KuCoin Earn section on either the web platform or mobile app.
After accepting the terms, eligible assets across all account types begin accruing interest starting at 00:00 UTC+8 the following day. Earnings appear in accounts daily without requiring any additional action.
KuCoin emphasizes that the feature operates independently of trading activities.
Users can place orders, adjust margin positions, and move funds freely without disrupting their earning potential.
The company notes that APR rates fluctuate based on market conditions and that availability may differ by region due to local regulatory requirements.
This launch positions KuCoin competitively in the exchange market as platforms increasingly offer flexible earning options to attract and retain users seeking passive income opportunities.
