You also can’t get it fast there’s a lock up period of like 1 year. But the fact that USA#1Gov can offer 7.2% personally make me feel pretty safe on 8% from Gemini.

I expect Gemini will just drop the yield down if they deem it too risky basically, it’s 8% now but will change over time. Just google search looks like it was 7.4% back in May

Every time I’ve looked into one of these earn x percent on your crypto opportunities enough to dig through the fine print I find out I’m essentially an unsecured lender to a venture stage startup and/or at the whims of whatever black box risk management the exchange is using on the other side, which has to be something that earns more than 8 percent in a broad market where earning 8 percent entails taking a bunch of risk

Can it really be more risky than connecting your crypto wallet to a random website to generate a picture of a pig with laser eyes?

Yeah I’m pretty risk averse on this stuff myself as well, so far I’m only comfortable with the Gemini platform and I haven’t bothered to put crypto in it and may not. The only other one I found in my research that made me feel good was ‘Ledn’ which has a ‘proof of reserves’ (but it is not available in my location). Coinbase was gonna do one which I would have felt safe with as well but the SEC yelled at them or something lol

Crypto would be much better off long-term without this sort of stuff and anything leverage related. Creates systemic risk and regulators will salivate at attacking crypto if things go wrong.

It’s 8% yield in USD. So basically -50% APR in average crypto yields.
