If you're going for this solo, there are 3 main ways to get W$, the currency for the game:
--Each Arcade completion, regardless of route (Extreme, Hard, Normal, Easy, etc.) will give you $2,000 per character. You will only receive $200 if you clear it twice with the same character.
--Beating ALL of the Missions will net you close to $34,000. They vary in rewards from $100 for the easier ones to $500 for the hard ones.
--Playing matches online nets somewhere between $100 and $200 per match regardless of win/loss.
--Leveling up through online play is the best way to go. Winning a few matches online in Floor 5-8 (the Floors I had available to me) would easily boost your character up through level 50 in an hour or so. This usually nets between $8,000 and $10,000.
NOTE: I only played Ranked Matches, so I'm not sure if the rewards also happen during Unranked/Casual matches.
EDIT: Per Jawmuncher, you can boost with a friend in unranked/lobby matches using 1-round fights. Level up to around 30 per character to get the best bang-for-buck rewards.
For reference, I completed:
Once you have more than 100,000 W$, head to the main menu, go to "Collection" towards the bottom, then select "Fishing". This is where you use the money to loot-box avatar items and other cosmetics. You can only use $2,000 at a time to fish for 10 items, so spending the money itself is going to be a grind.
IMPORTANT: The achievement may not unlock immediately after spending all 100,000. I had to go fight one more online match, get another $200, then fish one more time for it to unlock.
- -Complete Arcade with a character (one clear per character)
- -Complete the Missions in the Dojo -> Missions
- -Level up characters through online play (fastest if you're good)

Normally, this would be one of the last trophies you get for this game if you actually obtained and then spent 100,000W$ through fishing (the only way you can spend money in this game). However, there is a quicker way to obtain this trophy. First, you have to earn some money. I just took a run through Arcade mode with a character I had not finished it with yet to earn 2,000W$. After earning enough money to spend through fishing (at least 200W$, but there is an option to spend 2,000W$ at once as well.), you have to:
1. Select "Settings" from the main menu (In-Game, NOT the playstation dashboard).
2. Select "System Settings."
3. In System Settings, select "Upload Saved Data" and select "Yes" to upload your current saved data from the console to Strive's Server.
4. After that, go back to the main menu and select "Collection," then select "Fishing."
5. Spend all the money you can (don't worry about the rewards as you won't be able to keep them as long as you continue to go through this process.), then go back to the main menu.
6. Select "Settings" from the main menu.
7. Select "System Settings."
8. This time in System Settings, select "Download Saved Data" and select "Yes" to download the data you saved to Strive's Server onto your console. This will give you your money back.
9. Repeat steps 4-8 until you earn the trophy.
If you need to proof to show that this is working you can check the percentage of this trophy in your trophies section to see if it continues to increase as you are going through this process. (I know the percentage shows for the PS5 trophies, but I am not sure about the PS4 version.)
As a bonus, after you have gotten the trophy, you can still use this tactic to earn rewards you did not previously earn before. Once you earn a reward that you want to keep you have to stop after step 5, earn more money, then start the process over again from step 1. For this, I recommend just using the 200W$ option when fishing to maximize getting unique rewards and repeating the whole process less often if you earn 2,000W$ or more. Hope this helps.
