There is no correlation in your explanation. You have $8k worth of crypto, probably usdt and you are looking for passive income but I'm afraid to tell you that the only passive income you will get in crypto is nothing but pure scam, if you are not careful enough, you will lose that $8k and be worthless at the end, so be careful with the choice of income you are looking about.

I'm not sure why you tried futures trading when you can do that on spot trading. What you need to do is to locate the most liquid trade on exchange, like for instance the last 2 weeks has been Solana, it's has been pumping greatly. You can simply hop into this trades and make something good without any leverage or split the capital into 1/3 and trade with it, you will be able to make $10 dollar easily a day and with consistency, you will be able to make more.
