In the crypto market, investors try to earn interest by lending money manually, but the reality is often not as expected. For example<\/span><\/span>Many people will put their idle funds in such CeFi interest rate systems as OKX Earn Money or Coin's Wealth Management Treasure, etc. In the case of Coin, for example, the annualized interest rate of most stable yield products is lower than 5%, and the lock-up period of common fixed-term products ranges from 7 days to 90 days; while some of the products of OKX Earn Money offer floating interest rates, the annualized interest rate of USDT, USDC is usually lower than 10%, and many high yield options still require locking up positions and cannot be redeemed at any time. Although OKX offers floating interest rates for some of its products, the annualized rates for USDT and USDC are usually lower than 10%, and many of the high-yield options are still subject to lock-ups and cannot be redeemed at any time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Not to mention, if you want to get a little more advanced and go to the exchange for manual lending operations, not only do you have to adjust the interest rate frequently, hang orders to grab orders, but also have to keep an eye on the market, and once you miss the market, the interest rate will naturally be discounted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Is it true that passive income can only be achieved through luck?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>

In fact, with automated lending tools, you can also let your idle funds work for you automatically, capture market opportunities around the clock, and generate interest income steadily. In this article, we will introduce Willy, an intelligent lending robot developed by a Taiwanese team, which can securely connect to the Bitfinex API and help you participate in the lending market on Bitfinex with higher efficiency. With just one setup, you can realize the passive income experience of \"one-click start, continuous income\".<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Most importantly, your funds remain on the world's oldest exchange, Bitfinex, rather than being transferred to an unknown third-party platform. willy doesn't have access to or custody of your funds, but rather simply automates your lending strategy for you, taking into account the security of the platform and the flexibility of the returns, so that you don't need to worry about the technical hurdles of manual operation, and you can still capture higher potential interest rates.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is the Greenleaf Bitfinex exchange?<\/span><\/font><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Bitfinex is a globally recognized cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2012, headquartered in Switzerland and owned and operated by iFinex Inc. As one of the industry's earliest digital asset trading platforms, Bitfinex is known for itsLow handling fees, lending services and high liquidity<\/b> Known for its longstanding ranking in the Coinmarketcap<\/u><\/a> Top 15 global exchange, leading position among more than 800 trading platforms.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

With more than a decade in business, Bitfinex has seen Bitcoin grow from the $15 era to the present day, and is regarded by many investors as the \"oldest name in the cryptocurrency world\". The platform supports fast deposits and withdrawals in multiple fiat currencies, and offers leveraged and funded trading. Bitfinex also has a complete API interface, making it easy for professional traders and developers to create automated strategies, integrate trading tools, and analyze market data to meet the diverse needs of novice to high-frequency traders.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Bitfinex's core strengths:<\/span><\/font><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

High fluidity and very low slip point:<\/b>Bitfinex has excellent market depth and is very efficient in aggregating both spot and derivatives trades. Large buy and sell orders are less likely to cause large price fluctuations, making it suitable for high-frequency trading and quantitative strategy execution. In addition, the platform supports a variety of advanced order types and trading functions (e.g. batch ordering, spread gradient setting, etc.), and provides a stable API interface, which makes it easy for programmed traders to deploy their strategies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Asset security and strict monetary audit:<\/b>In terms of asset security, Bitfinex has been tested by many rounds of bull and bear markets and has maintained a good record so far. Bitfinex adopts a prudent vetting mechanism for new tokens, and does not arbitrarily list high-risk torrents, but only focuses on mainstream projects with long-term value, providing an additional safeguard for users' assets.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Lending yields were solid and outperformed the industry:<\/b>The USD\/USDT Margin Funding service provided by Bitfinex is a great tool for many users to realize stable income. The annualized interest rate is much higher than that of mainstream exchange products (such as Coin, OKX, etc.). When the market is booming, the annualized lending rate can even exceed 20%! Users can set their own interest rates through the open order book, and the market-based bidding mechanism makes the interest rate more transparent and allows for early termination of lending at any time, resulting in a high degree of capital flexibility.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Transparent handling fees and competitive rates:<\/b>Bitfinex's transaction fees are tiered, with a maximum of only 0.2% (which can be reduced with trading volume), and contract trading fees are as low as 0.02% for a pending order and 0.065% for an order to eat, In addition, holding UNUS SED LEO (LEO) tokens issued by the platform will also enjoy additional discounts on fees, which will result in significant cost savings in the long-term. In addition, holding UNUS SED LEO (LEO) issued by the platform can also enjoy additional discounts on handling fees, which can save a lot of costs in the long run.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Same group as Tether, solid resources:<\/b>Bitfinex and Tether, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin, USDT, both belong to the iFinex Group, which is backed by strong resources. Bitfinex has a natural advantage in terms of stablecoin liquidity management, global regulatory compliance and financial partnerships.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Simply put, the Bitfinex platform is a strong and robust platform that has survived many market storms.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How does the lending mechanism work? Why is the interest rate so much higher than that of banks?<\/span><\/font><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In Bitfinex's P2P lending market, the logic of how money works is pretty straightforward: on one end, there are traders who need money (mostly those who want to leverage), and on the other end, there are investors who have idle funds and want to earn interest returns. Bitfinex acts as an intermediary platform, providing an open and transparent marketplace for pending orders to bring the two parties together.The borrower must pledge full or even excessive security and pay interest.<\/b>The lender receives regular interest payments.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

There are four main reasons why this model is able to offer significantly higher interest rates compared to banks:<\/span><\/span><\/p>

  1. Demand for High Leverage: The demand for leverage in the crypto market is much higher than in traditional finance, and many traders are accustomed to leverage of 10 - 20 times or more, which is naturallyPushed up demand for borrowing<\/b>\u8207Interest rate benchmarks<\/b>\u3002<\/span><\/span><\/li>
  2. Limited supply of funds: Relatively few people in the cryptocurrency community are willing to be gold masters, and more people would rather take the risk of speculating on short-term and chasing short investments. There is a lack of supply of stable lending funds, which allows lenders to have higher bargaining power.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
  3. Daily interest rate mechanism: Bitfinex adopts a \"daily interest\" calculation and hourly settlement mechanism, which makes short-term borrowers feel less burdened psychologically.But for the lenders, the annualized rate of return naturally rises as the daily interest rate compounds and rolls down.<\/b>\u3002<\/span><\/span><\/li>
  4. \u9ad8Risk discounting:<\/span>As the crypto market is inherently more volatile than the traditional market, borrowers are willing to pay higher interest rates in exchange for the flexibility of their funds.This premium is the source of additional revenue for lenders<\/b>\u3002<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    Combining these factors, the interest rates on Bitfinex loans can often reach 8%-15% annualized, or even 20% or more when the market is hot, much higher than the 1-3% offered by traditional banks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    Three Risks<\/span><\/font>cannot be ignored<\/span><\/span>
    <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Just because the interest rates on Bitfinex loans are several times higher than those of banks does not mean that they are risk-free. As an investor, it is important to understand and accept the potential risks in order to make the right allocation of funds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    1. Platform risk Bitfinex<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>

    It's a veteran exchange founded in 2012, which has survived many bull and bear cycles and still maintains stable operation. But after all, it's still a centralized platform, so if there's a lapse in internal management, a problem with the transfer of funds, or even a hack, it could affect the safety of your capital. Although Bitfinex showed great resilience after the 2016 hack, compensating users in full in just eight months, investors should be prepared for the possibility that such an extreme scenario is not out of the question.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    2. Risk of unwinding<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>

    Although Bitfinex's lending market requires borrowers to pledge a margin in excess of the borrowed amount and has a mechanism for forced liquidation of positions, in the event of rapid and violent market fluctuations (e.g., prices plummeting within a short period of time 20%), it is still possible that the positions will not be liquidated in time. Although the platform promises to use the reserve to cover the losses of users, the \"risk of position penetration\" is still a black swan event, investors can not take it lightly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    3. systemic risk<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>

    This is an external factor beyond the control of any single platform. Policy surprises, international financial storms, global market panics, liquidity crises, all can affect the market as a whole. When the entire crypto industry is under pressure, even if Bitfinex itself is robust, the funds it puts out may still be affected. Therefore, diversification of assets and reasonable control of positions are still the most effective way of risk management.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
