Could you explain what exactly is meant by a 5% Annual Percentage Yield, or APY, on a balance of $100? How does this interest rate translate into the amount of money I could potentially earn over the course of a year? And what factors might affect this calculation, if any?

Cryptocurrency investments often involve the concept of Annual Percentage Yield (APY), a metric that represents the total return on an investment over a year, taking into account compounding interest.

As an example, let's consider a scenario where an investor deposits $100 into a cryptocurrency savings account with a 5% interest rate. If the interest compounds quarterly, the investor's final balance at the end of the year would be $105.09.

This is because compounding interest allows the investor to earn interest on the interest earned in previous periods. In contrast, if the interest were paid simply, the investor would only receive $105 at the end of the year.
