GBRequires a large deposit with low APR… Requires a large deposit with low APR that was not as competitive as the other industry leaders. In the end, it still stumbled alongside the others. It trusted companies that over leveraged and that did not do it any favors.

GBBlockFi is more of a bank than a crypto company - weigh your needs carefully before signing up Overall the onboarding process was pretty simple. They use Plaid for banking verification, which can be problematic (although has improved over time). Yields are good on stablecoins. IR is fairly responsive, albeit utterly unable to think creatively. But, I ended up pulling my funds from BF for the following reasons: 1) OUTBOUND wallet-to-wallet transfers take up to 5 days. BF claims the delay is for security purposes. This 'friction' not only is terribly frustrating but more so just goes against the whole spirit of crypto. This became the proverbial 'final straw' for me. 2) unnecessary and long holds are placed on, both, wallet transfers of stablecoin INTO BF and for ACH transfers of USD. Again, anomlyous to the spirit of crypto. 3) only a handful of coins offered. Net net..BlockFi operates more like a bank (without any FDIC protection) rather than a crypto company. And, we shall see how long they can support the yield.

IEAvoid 60$ to withdraw ETH!?! No thanks, Ill pass. All other similar companies have like 10$ fee. Free monthly withdrawal limited to just few coins. Interest rates going only one-way down. Avoid.

GBI Love BlockFi I love BlockFi. It's the perfect place for me to hold my crypto investments and personal savings. I'm literally earning more money for doing things that I would've done anyways without the existence of BlockFi. I can't stop talking about my BlockFi interest account and credit card to my family and friends. I know they're sick of my ish by now. I've referred 8 people in the 3.5 months I've had my account open. The financial results speak for themselves.

GBFive star experience so far Five star experience so far. I chose BlockFi over competitors because of their reputation and partnerships in the crypto space. The simplicity of the interest accounts and the ability to purchase all in one place make BlockFi great. I see BlockFi being part of my long-term investment plan. I would love to see more features in the future. Basic things like cost basis, % return would give a greater sense of how you're doing in the market.
