§ 02 HOW TO READ THE TABLE

How to Read This Table

Max APY is the highest advertised rate the platform publishes for any single asset. In most cases this rate applies only to a stablecoin (USDC or USDT) and only when the user holds the platform's native token at a high tier. The "What earns it" column shows the asset and conditions required.

Proof of Reserves indicates whether the platform publishes a regular cryptographic attestation that it holds the assets it claims. After FTX collapsed in November 2022 with no PoR, this became the most important trust signal in crypto. Ledn publishes monthly via Chainalysis. Nexo publishes via Armanino.

Last updated is the date the platform itself most recently changed its public rate. Stale dates (more than 60 days old) usually mean either rate stability or — more often — that the platform isn't actively maintaining its rate page.

§ 03 HOW YIELD WORKS

Yield Comes from Somewhere — Know What

The single most important question for any crypto yield product is: where does the yield come from? A 12% APY is not free. Platforms generate yield through one of four mechanisms: institutional lending, DeFi yield aggregation, proprietary trading, or token subsidies.

Lending and DeFi strategies dominated the 2020-2022 crypto yield era. The collapses of Celsius, BlockFi, Voyager, and the Anchor Protocol exposed how fragile these strategies are when borrowers default or protocols collapse. If a platform won't tell you where the yield comes from, treat that as a red flag.

§ 04 FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How often are these rates updated? +
We review APY data weekly and update the table when any platform changes its headline rates by more than 0.5%. Each row shows the date the platform itself last updated its public rate.
Why are rates so different across platforms? +
Three factors drive the spread: yield source, loyalty token requirements, and regulatory tier. Platforms operating under stricter licences typically offer lower headline rates because they cannot deploy capital as aggressively.
Are these rates guaranteed? +
No. All crypto APY rates are variable and can change with little notice. They are also not guaranteed in the way traditional bank deposits are guaranteed by FDIC or EU deposit protection schemes.
What is the safest high-yield option? +
There is no truly "safe" high-yield crypto product. The combinations that minimise risk are: Ledn for Bitcoin yield with monthly Proof of Reserves, Nexo for stablecoin yield with Proof of Reserves and a long operating history, and Brighty for EU users seeking 5% USDC yield within an EMI-licenced framework.
Why does Nexo show two rates? +
Nexo's headline 16% APY requires holding 10%+ of your portfolio in NEXO tokens (Platinum tier). Without holding NEXO, the base rate is closer to 4-7% on stablecoins. Always check tier requirements before deciding.
