Depending on it, users pay or receive compensation for open positions: with a positive rate longs pay shorts, and with a negative rate \u2014 the other way around.

Short squeezes are a common phenomenon in illiquid markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Historically all markets, including the cryptocurrency market, <a class=\\\"tracking_link\\\" href=\\\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Accelerating_change\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">tend to rise<\/a>. However, the absence of stop-losses and trading with high leverage can lead to the liquidation of a position once bears exit the market.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\\\"wp-block-heading\\\">Passive income<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to risk money on the futures market, you can invest with a small, stable yield to accumulate cryptocurrency and prepare for a new bull cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The most common tools for earning passive income:<\/p>\n<ul class=\\\"wp-block-list\\\">\n<li><strong>flexible and fixed deposits<\/strong>. The platform uses funds to issue loans and pays holders a portion of profits as a reward. Returns depend on the marketplace and demand for lending services;<\/li>\n<li><strong>liquidity pools<\/strong> on decentralized exchanges like <a class=\\\"tracking_link\\\" href=\\\"https:\/\/www.oneswap.net\/cet\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">OneSwap<\/a>. Participants receive rewards for providing liquidity in the pool&#8217;s currency. Returns can be very high, but volatility and low liquidity of many tokens can reduce real profits in the long run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Deposit services are widely represented in the crypto market.

In the second \u2014 they share 50% of the trading commissions of AMM users.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\\\"wp-block-heading\\\">Ambassador programs<\/h2>\n<p>They are typically launched by projects that want to build a community around their products and services.<\/p>\n<p>The main requirement to participate is having an audience on social media. Ambassadors spread information about the company and receive rewards: a share of referral commissions, a salary, or payments for content \u2014 educational videos, explainers and memes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\">\n<p><em>&#8220;Ambassador programs are one of the reliable ways to earn money in a bear market. You get paid for sharing your experience trading cryptocurrencies, and your earnings depend not only on the number of referred users.
