CredEarn enables Uphold customers to earn up to 10% interest when loaning their BTC, XRP, ETH, USD, EUR to Cred
SAN FRANCISCO-Saturday 19 January 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cred, the leading provider of crypto borrowing and lending with over $300 million in credit facilities, today announced the launch of CredEarn* on the Uphold platform. CredEarn allows Uphold customers to lend their crypto and fiat assets to Cred and receive up to 10% of annualized interest.
“We’re thrilled to offer consumers the opportunity to earn interest on their digital assets and fiat currencies,” said Dan Schatt, Co-founder and President of Cred. “In a bear market, customers can benefit from the liquidity they receive when obtaining a fixed amount of interest in USD or Stablecoin. In a bull market, customers also benefit by receiving the full upside on the amount of crypto they originally committed.”
CredEarn customers can commit to a six-month term with the ability to rollover assets for additional periods. No account minimum is needed and interest is paid out in U.S. Dollars or Stablecoin every three months on Uphold. The principal is paid back in the fiat or crypto amounts that were initially received. CredEarn is initially only available to Uphold customers outside the United States. Cred is working to bring this exciting product to the U.S. market soon.
“At Uphold, we are working to build an ecosystem that will revolutionize the personal finance industry for consumers globally, leveraging the best that blockchain, digitization and fractionalization have to offer. Our community is very vocal about their desire to Hodl with the potential to get earnings on digital assets we support like XRP, BTC or ETH,” said JP Thieriot, co-founder and CEO of Uphold.
Cred is backed by some of the largest investors in crypto and tech including 500 Startups, Arrington XRP Capital, Blocktower, FBG Capital, and Binance Labs. Cred is also a founding member of the Universal Protocol Alliance, a board member of the Blockchain Advocacy Coalition and has a joint business relationship with PwC.
