Feb 17, 2022
We’re excited to announce we’ve added six new assets for our non-US clients through BlockFi International. Cardano, Solana, Polkadot, Avalanche, Cosmos, and Filecoin will be available to buy, sell, and trade starting February 17, 2022 outside the U.S.
What does this mean for you?
Non-US clients now have instant access to six of the most popular cryptoassets on the market, helping you diversify your portfolio and earn crypto interest on new assets. These assets have a collective market cap of $100B+, to which you can now get exposure.
Can I earn crypto interest on these assets?
Yes! Non-US clients can earn crypto interest on each of these six assets held in a BlockFi Interest Account (BIA) at BlockFi International with an introductory rate of up to 10% APY. The rate may be updated in March based on market conditions.
The new assets available on the platform include:
- Cardano (ADA)
- Solana (SOL)
- Polkadot (DOT)
- Avalanche (AVAX)
- Cosmos (ATOM)
- Filecoin (FIL)
BlockFi International is one of only five major exchanges available to non-US clients that offers these assets in one easy-to-buy place, and we’re the only major platform offering non-US clients the ability to buy and earn interest in crypto on these assets. These assets are only available to trade and cannot be transferred to or from BlockFi, e.g. to/from hardware wallets or another wallet address outside of BlockFi.
Your trust is our most important asset, so all assets are fully vetted and traded in a safeguarded, tested environment with BlockFi Wallet, and can earn crypto interest with the BlockFi Interest Account. These assets are only available to BlockFi clients in eligible regions. To learn more visit blockfi.com/trading.
