6 Steps To ‘Stake’ VeChain (VET) On Crypto.com

How To Stake VeChain On Crypto.com

You may have heard of staking cryptocurrencies that allow you to earn extra returns, and you may be wondering how you can do so with your VET tokens.

However, when you are using Crypto.com’s Earn, you are lending out your VET tokens, and not actually staking them!

One way that you can earn returns on VET is by lending it using Crypto.com:

How to ‘stake’ VET on Crypto.com

Here are 6 steps you’ll need to ‘stake’ VET on Crypto.com:

  1. Buy or deposit VET on the Crypto.com App
  2. Go to ‘Earn’ on the Crypto.com App
  3. Select the ‘+’ sign and select VET as the currency you want to lend
  4. Select the term that you wish to lend VET
  5. Agree to the terms and conditions of Crypto.com Earn
  6. Select the amount of VET that you wish to lend out

Here is each step explained in-depth:

Buy or deposit VET on the Crypto.com App

The first thing you’ll need to do is to own some VET on your Crypto.com App. This can be done by buying some VET on the Crypto.com App, or depositing it from an exchange where you’ve bought VET from.

There are 3 ways that you can buy VET on the Crypto.com App:

  1. Credit card
  2. Crypto wallet (buying VET from another cryptocurrency)
  3. Fiat wallet (buying VET directly from a fiat currency)

Buying VET via a credit card may result in you incurring rather high fees. Moreover, even if buying from your crypto or fiat wallet does not incur any fees, you may incur some fees from Crypto.com’s spread.

Another way is to deposit VET from another platform to Crypto.com.

Go to ‘Earn’ on the Crypto.com App

To start lending your crypto, you will need to go to the ‘Earn’ tab.

Crypto Earn Tab

Select the ‘+’ sign and select VET as the currency you want to lend

After that, you’ll need to select the ‘+‘ sign on Crypto Earn,

and then select VET as the currency that you wish to deposit.

Crypto.com Search For VET

Select the term that you wish to lend VET

After that, you will need to select the term that you wish to lend out VET.

Crypto.com Earn SHIB Select Term

There are 3 different terms:

  1. Flexible
  2. 1 Month
  3. 3 Months

For the flexible term, you are able to withdraw VET at any time. However, the interest that you earn is much lower.

If you choose either the 1 month or 3 month term, the VET that you deposit will be locked up for that period of time.

Even if the price of VET starts to change, you will be unable to sell it!

However, the benefit is that you will be able to earn a higher interest rate compared to the flexible term.

Another factor that affects the interest that you earn is the amount of CRO that you staked on the Crypto.com App:

TermInterest Rate
Flexible (Ruby
or Lower)
0.5%
Flexible (Jade
Green or Higher)
1%
1 Month (Ruby
or Lower)
1%
1 Month (Jade
Green or Higher)
2%
3 Months (Ruby
or Lower)
2%
3 Months (Jade
Green or Higher)
3%

The amount of CRO that you stake depends on which Crypto.com Visa card you wish to own.

If you own the Ruby Steel card, you will be able to receive a CRO rebate if you use the Crypto.com Visa card to pay for Spotify!

Agree to the terms and conditions of Crypto.com Earn

There are certain Terms and Conditions that you’ll need to accept.

Crypto Earn Terms

By accepting the Earn and Credit T&Cs, you are accepting the risks involved with lending your crypto. There could be a risk that you will lose all of your cryptocurrency if Crypto.com closes down as well!

Select the amount of VET that you wish to lend out

The last part is that you’ll need to select the amount of VET that you wish to deposit to Crypto.com Earn.

Crypto.com Earn Select VET Amount

You are required to deposit a minimum of 5000 VET to use this feature. This is quite a huge sum, and you are unable to deposit any sum that is smaller than that!

After confirming your deposit, you will reach this confirmation page.

Verdict

Crypto.com Earn is one of the few places that you can consider earning interest on VET. However, there are 3 things that you may want to take note of:

You will only earn simple interest on VET

On Crypto.com, the interest will be paid out to your Crypto Wallet.

Since you are earning simple interest, your returns will not compound. This is different from banks that compound your interest. As such, you will be able to earn interest on the interest that you’ve previously received.

When you leave your crypto in the long term, the returns you earn will be much less compared to compound interest.

Your funds will be locked up if you choose the 1 or 3 month terms

If you are looking to trade VET, it will be best to leave it in the flexible term instead.

This is because once you deposit VET into a 1 or 3 month term, you will only be able to receive it back once the term expires.

If you intend to sell the VET that you own, it would be best not to put it in the terms that lock up your funds!

The minimum deposit is 500 VET

If you want to deposit VET into Crypto.com’s Earn, you will require a minimum amount of 500 VET. Depending on the price of VET, this can actually be a rather huge sum!

This is different from other platforms like Celsius or Gemini Earn, which allow you to start earning interest with no minimum deposit.

Conclusion

Despite its flaws, Crypto.com’s Earn is still an attractive way to earn extra interest on VET. This is a similar method to how you would earn interest on SHIB, MATIC or ONE.

While this isn’t technically staking your VET tokens, you are still able to lend it out for a rather decent return.

If you are intending to hold VET for the long term, it is definitely one way you can consider further growing your holdings!

Alternatively, you can look to stake VET on other platforms such as Exodus.
