DeFi figures are single-asset or low-correlation pools (no impermanent-loss LP pairs). APYs float and carry smart-contract risk.

Can you stake Bitcoin?

No — Bitcoin is not a proof-of-stake network, so there is no native staking. What people call "BTC staking" is really lending: depositing BTC into an exchange savings product, or supplying wrapped BTC (WBTC, cbBTC) to a DeFi market. Both pay yield, but both add counterparty or smart-contract risk that holding your own BTC does not.

What's a realistic BTC yield?

Low. Pure on-chain BTC supply usually pays well under 1% because few people want to borrow BTC. Exchange savings pay more, but you're trusting a custodian — check its risk grade. If a BTC rate looks unusually high, it's a promo, a lock-up, or extra risk.

Is my Bitcoin safe while earning?

Earning means the platform holds or lends your BTC, so it can be hacked, default, or freeze withdrawals. Prefer flexible, higher-graded products, never deposit BTC you can't afford to lose, and treat every rate as a snapshot. Not financial advice.

Rates are snapshots and change constantly. Earning yield means lending — every platform carries counterparty or smart-contract risk. Not financial advice.
