ways people make money on crypto in 2026

I'm short scalping for some time, if you have discipline to settle for small profit daily and continue with consistency you can earn good amount monthly. I'm thinking of trying new things on crypto field like yield farming lately
 
Affiliate and short positions are the best in 2026.


Spot in a bear market is bullshit. Next year, it's a good one

Airdrop is bullshit, 99% of those altcoin projects are garbage
Content creation and alpha call groups are good ones if you don't care to become a new guru scammer luring people and make their lives miserable
I partly agree. The market is definitely challenging right now, but bear markets are often the best time to learn, build, and prepare for the next cycle.
 
I still make a steady income from crypto trading. I don't make huge profits, but small and consistent gains provide me with a stable source of income.
 
I think futures, airdrops, and affiliate marketing are still worth exploring, but there are also options like staking, arbitrage, and content creation. What crypto methods are you guys using these days?
 
You covered most of the main methods. I’d also add arbitrage, DeFi lending, and building crypto tools/services. Airdrops and affiliate marketing are interesting low-capital options, while futures can be profitable but carry much higher risk.
 
Some people make money by trading, investing, staking or building services related to cryptocurrency.
 
I’ve started the first phase of trying to make money through crypto affiliate marketing, and I’ve found it to be much more difficult than I initially expected. Most ad networks don’t approve ads for this industry, making it quite challenging to attract new sign-ups.
 
I make money from airdrops. Back when the crypto market was still emerging, airdrops could be quite profitable, but they’ve become much more difficult nowadays.
 
Affiliate money is what easy and big money as compare to any other even spot trading is risky these days.
 
Staking has been decent for me as well, I used to park USDC into my kraken account anyway to use their crypto card so figured I might as well stake some of it for a ROI.
