These adjustments are part of our ongoing mission to deliver high-quality, long-term service to you while expanding our innovative product offerings in a competitive and scalable way. Throughout our history, we’ve maintained rewarding crypto interest yields even as cryptoasset prices have fluctuated. As our track record shows, rates may rise or fall, but BlockFi always remains committed to supporting your financial goals.
