What do you guys think, if I have perhaps 100 $SOL which do you think is better Staking it for 2 to 3 days with a 10% APR or actually trading the SOL myself for that same time period. Personally, I think the savings might be safer and more predictable than the trading option. If I was to trade on Spot, it would probably be safer too, but I wouldn't make as much profit as the savings, but I wouldn't make significant losses either. If i trade on futures I probably might make more profit, but I come with greater risks
I think trading yourself for the same time period is much more profitable than staking. This is because staking small amounts of SOL would give you nothing. I bring a calculation of how much you will get for 1 SOL with 6.7%APR. You'll earn 0.00033 SOL for your daily income, 0.01 SOL for monthly, and 0.07 yearly.
And, by trading your SOL, you can earn a few bucks ($2 - $3) a day. That's 0.015 - 0.018 daily, depending on how smart you are.
Based on my calculations above, staking is not even worth trying with a small sum of money. If you're worried about the risk of trading in futures, try spot trading. It pays less than futures, but it's better than staking.
I think some exchanges offer around 10% or more in savings deals, what do you guys think
Even if some exchange sites were offering 10% or more, it's still not worthy to try.
