Here is an interesting one called Ledn. Based in Toronto, Canada, insured with BitGo and backed by Genesis.
https://ledn.io/enThey offer "Financial services for hodlers of digital assets".
Their entire focus is on Bitcoin and USDC only.
In essence, Ledn is a savings and lending platform.
Right now, you can earn up to 6.10% on your bitcoin and up to 11% interest (paid monthly) on your USDC through saving and lending options on their platform.
This up-to-date list of reviews includes Ledn.
https://thecollegeinvestor.com/21245/top-10-bitcoin-crypto-investing-sites/Still slogging my way through all of them because I am looking for a second exchange for buying altcoins (fun money only) in the future.
What really made my eyes pop about Ledn is their outrageous B2X service to double your bitcoin.
How is that even possible?
Note: The US has B2X service-related restrictions but nevertheless US residents can definitely use this service.
From what I can tell it basically means if they margin call or you close out the B2X loan then US residents will pay the remaining balance if any in US dollars instead of Bitcoin.
So what do you think about this B2X program on the Ledn platform?
It looks like even if you did not double your money you could still benefit but only if the price of bitcoin doesn't drop below the price it was when you started the loan?
Although it may average out in your favor given the constant ups and downs of the BTC price while you hold the loan.
Is it only a wild bet or can it work in your favor mathematically?
Thanks for the list
@HeadedWest2029I like both Gemini and BlockFI for simplicity, security and convenience but they are rather conservative in their coin listings and features if you can apply that term to crypto:).
Aave and bitcoin
Since I discovered that Aave lets you retain control of your keys - wow - while your bitcoins earn interest.
They now have my undivided attention.
Aave might just be my first foray into true de-fi. I'm holding off until I come across a good step-by-step visual to help me navigate it all correctly.
Any tips and links appreciated - for now I'm just reading up like crazy.
youtube has been difficult to navigate for solid crypto information.
Two of my favorites are the Coinbureau and the MoneyZG channel, both worth a look.
Interesting - you might enjoy watching this one.
For those who still trust the banks and like to cry 'tulip bulbs' and for everyone who enjoys a good bank bash.
Here is a great youtube video about one of crypto hating J.P. Morgan's latest shenanigans
AVOID THIS CRYPTO INVESTMENT from J.P. Morgan - LOL
