What is Passive Yield?

Passive yield is any type of income that is generated from an investment; however, this term usually refers to investments that are held on a medium to long-term basis. Specifically in relation to blockchain technology and crypto investing, a passive yield is typically realized when an investor purchases a cryptocurrency with a specific amount of investment capital (for example, by buying ETH or BTC with a fiat currency like the U.S. dollar) and earns interest on that crypto over time.
