Is this money you can spare?

Before you put money in, the question to ask isn't "which rate is highest" — it's "should this money go in at all". Three questions to figure that out.

1. Is this your emergency money or cash you'll need soon?

2. How long are you sure you won't need it?

3. Can you accept a short-term paper loss?

The bottom line

Emergency money, rent, tuition — anything you can't afford to lose and might need at any moment — doesn't belong in any crypto earn product. The only money that fits is what you won't need for a while and could lose without it hurting your life. More in Earn vs a bank deposit.
