📈 Market Moves

If you're holding crypto, it's time to put it to work. MoneyMade's latest guide breaks down how DeFi pools can turn idle tokens into income streams. Here's a quick look:

• 💧 Liquidity Pools: Provide assets to decentralized exchanges and earn a cut of trading.

• 🌾 Yield Farming: Reinvest rewards to boost returns. Stablecoins might yield ~10% APY, while riskier assets can offer more.

• 🤝 Lending Pools: Lend your crypto to borrowers and earn interest, typically around 5% APY.

• 🖼️ NFT Collateral: Use NFTs as collateral to borrow other cryptocurrencies without selling your collectibles.

• 🔒 Staking: Lock up tokens to support blockchain networks and earn rewards in return.

With the right strategy and a compatible wallet, your crypto can start generating passive income. Just remember to assess the risks and choose the approach that fits your investment goals.

👀 Net Worth Watch

Jon Taffer, the no-nonsense host of Bar Rescue, has built a $14 million empire by transforming struggling bars into thriving businesses. Starting as a bartender in the 1970s, Taffer climbed the ranks to manage and eventually own multiple establishments, including the renowned Troubadour nightclub. His expertise led to the creation of Taffer Dynamics, a consulting firm aimed at improving hospitality operations, and the launch of Taffer’s Tavern, a franchise known for its high-tech kitchens.

Beyond television, Taffer’s ventures span real estate, startups, and even a role in developing the NFL Sunday Ticket. While he doesn't profit directly from the bars featured on his show, his consulting fees and business promotions have significantly contributed to his wealth.
