bitcoin interest Archives - Coinmotion: Invest in Crypto Securely

We have partnered with the Finnish cryptocurrency investment company, Tesseract Investment, to offer a cryptocurrency interest account feature integrated in the Coinmotion platform. This co-operation enables Coinmotion users to accumulate interest on their cryptocurrency savings. “Cryptocurrency lending markets have been developing rapidly during past two years, and with selected partners and development we want to offer possibility to earn interest on the cryptocurrencies that are otherwise under passive ownership or HODLing. It’s dependent of course on the client risk preferences, if earning interest and bearing the counterparty risk is a suitable choice”, says CEO of Prasos Heidi Hurskainen The Interest account will expand the already supported saving features. You are now able to deposit cryptocurrencies to cryptocurrency lending markets easily via the Coinmotion platform. All the available cryptocurrencies in Coinmotion, with the exception of Stellar Lumens (XLM), are supported in the Interest Account feature. With the feature you can deposit cryptocurrencies to an interest account to earn interest on your holdings. You earn daily interest until you request a withdrawal from the interest account. The interest will be paid upon a completed withdrawal. “We have seen tremendous amount of growth in cryptocurrency lending market internationally and it is fantastic to add Finland’s market leader Coinmotion to our growing roster of partners” adds Yichen Wu, CEO of Tesseract Investment.

Investors lend cryptocurrencies to use leverage in their investments and are willing to pay interest for these loans. When you lend money in the market you give up the ownership of it for the loan period and get interest in return. In Coinmotion the cryptocurrencies are loaned via our partner Tesseract to selected cryptocurrency marketplaces. These loans are typically very short-lasting and counted in days. Tesseract makes new loan contracts with the customer funds until the customer wants to withdraw funds from the interest account. The loaned cryptocurrencies and the accrued interests return to the customer's Coinmotion wallet after the latest loan has expired. Risks of loaning cryptocurrencies There are some risks involved in loaning cryptocurrencies. The main risk is that the lender is incapable of paying the loan back on the due date. Another risk is that the used lending platform or cryptocurrency marketplace crashes for one reason or another. In these cases it is possible that the borrower loses a part of loaned funds or all of them. Cryptocurrency markets aren't regulated similarly as traditional financial markets where controlling the counterparty risk is typically outsourced to a third party. Please consider these risks before using the service and read carefully the terms and conditions. If you have any further questions, our customer service is ready to help you.
