There is not much good news for Hive because tomorrow, 30 July Hive is being delisted from Binance. Hive/USDC perpetual, cross margin and isolated margin.

One of the biggest reasons why Hive dumped 12% to 15% in just two days is this. Investors are selling in the USDC market, creating selling pressure and because of that the price is falling.

Meanwhile Bitcoin's price is stable and moving upward. Especially Ethereum and other large cap coins are increasing in price. But unfortunately the price of our beloved Hive is going down.

In every market situation we should adopt a strategy so that we can minimize our losses. During a bear market one of the best things you can do is HP leasing.

Anyone who wants to take full advantage of this bear market should lease Hive Power from #Hive-Engine and do curation for a long period. This will not only help you earn rewards but it will also help grow your account, increase your followers and improve your influence.

In todays content I will show you the step-by-step process of leasing HP through Hive Engine. I will also explain the current APR during this bear market and what things we should keep in mind.

First I think it is important to mention that leasing HP does not guarantee profit. Right now the lease rate is around 8% APR while curation rewards are also around 7% to 8%. That means you may experience a small loss or simply break even.

So where is the benefit?

The benefit comes when you curate high quality posts and those authors become your friends and vote back on your posts. Another benefit is that your Hive account grows, your reputation increases and by curating consistently, your followers also increase. You will also start making new friends.

Also if you do not sell your rewards at these low prices and instead hold them you may benefit from capital appreciation in the long term.

These are some of the advantages of HP leasing.

You can lease HP in just three simple steps.
