2. Invest Your Crypto Stable Coins (USDT & BUSD)
HOW IT WORKS
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that attempt to peg their market value to some external reference. Stablecoins may be pegged to a currency like the U.S. dollar or to a commodity’s price such as gold. (Investopedia)
Buy stable coins (USDT on Binance) and hold (or stake). Binance is a good place to start. The dollar will always be higher than the cedis. It’s best to save your money in a foreign currency. Stablecoins like USDT and BUSD are great options to consider. The idea here is that, instead of letting your money sit ideal in the bank, in cedis, convert it to a foreign currency. The exchange rate will always be higher. Sell it in 3 to 6 months.

3. Stake BTC, ETH, and BNB
Just like using stable coins, you can simply stake these top 3 cryptocurrencies on Binance.
The advantage here is that, once these coins gain in value, you gain extra from the staking rewards. Moreover, if these coins drop in value, you still earn a little from the staking rewards.Â
The interest ranges from 5% and above, depending on the rate Binance attaches to them
