VERY expensive withdrawal I noticed that the withdrawal fee for many cryptocurrencies are about $50 USD, such as GUSD, PAX, USDT, USDC. It's free to add money but withdrawals are way too expensive. Fiat minimum withdrawal is also $10,000 which is too high and the advertising on their website does not mention all this. Not great, especially when the minimum deposit is just $100. This was not detailed very clearly when we signed up, so you need to be careful. Even free withdrawals have some form of transaction fee tied to them, even though I've not initiated any other transactions in that calendar month.

BlockFi is more of a bank than a crypto company - weigh your needs carefully before signing up Overall the onboarding process was pretty simple. They use Plaid for banking verification, which can be problematic (although has improved over time). Yields are good on stablecoins. IR is fairly responsive, albeit utterly unable to think creatively. But, I ended up pulling my funds from BF for the following reasons: 1) OUTBOUND wallet-to-wallet transfers take up to 5 days. BF claims the delay is for security purposes. This 'friction' not only is terribly frustrating but more so just goes against the whole spirit of crypto. This became the proverbial 'final straw' for me. 2) unnecessary and long holds are placed on, both, wallet transfers of stablecoin INTO BF and for ACH transfers of USD. Again, anomlyous to the spirit of crypto. 3) only a handful of coins offered. Net net..BlockFi operates more like a bank (without any FDIC protection) rather than a crypto company. And, we shall see how long they can support the yield.

I Love BlockFi I love BlockFi. It's the perfect place for me to hold my crypto investments and personal savings. I'm literally earning more money for doing things that I would've done anyways without the existence of BlockFi. I can't stop talking about my BlockFi interest account and credit card to my family and friends. I know they're sick of my ish by now. I've referred 8 people in the 3.5 months I've had my account open. The financial results speak for themselves.

Absolutely awful company Absolutely awful company. Today, BlockFi informed users that they would no longer offer free withdrawals on the Ethereum ecosystem. BlockFi intentionally did this right before the thanksgiving holiday, with only 7 days to go before this change goes into effect. Customers who have already used their one free withdrawal this month are essentially blindsided, and their crypto is now trapped, unable to be moved without fees. This intentional disrespect of the customer shows what a scummy company they are. They might as well be saying "F you" to the little guys who have made a hundred bucks in interest this year. Now ETH withdrawals will cost over 60$ USD, which is 3X the average current ETH gas fee cost of 20$ USD. Do not use this company. They are exploitative, money-hungry, and don't give a damn about their customers.

Trustworthy but long withdrawal times Sold governance and a good track record of managing liquidity. Keep an eye on the terms of monthly interest rates, which can change dramatically. The problem comes when you try to withdraw your money. Contrary to the ethos of crypto it feels more like a traditional bank taking Blockfi days before tokens are transferred out.
