Background on Rate Updates

We set rates for the BIAs* by balancing prudent treasury and risk management principles amid shifting market conditions. Rates on cryptoassets held in BIA* are primarily driven by institutional demand for borrowing assets.

Since the beginning, we’ve continued rewarding crypto interest yields even as cryptoasset prices have fluctuated. As our track record shows, rates may rise or fall, but BlockFi always remains committed to supporting your financial goals.
