Another feature of deposits is that withdrawals are possible at any time. Safety of funds provides Gemini Trust Company LLC brothers Winklevoss. The company notes that the service is available to users from different countries.
According to representatives of BlockFi, beta testing of the new service started in early 2019, and by this time the company attracted $ 10 million in cryptodeposits from retail and institutional investors.
Lawyer Stephen Pelly wrote in his Twitter account that, because of the fixed rate of 6.2% BlockFi, he first seemed like a financial pyramid.

However, having studied the detailed terms of use of the service , Palley found a clause stating that, depending on market conditions, the interest rate may vary every month at the discretion of the company.
The lawyer came to the conclusion that the marketing department was engaged in creating a splash-page without coordinating information with the legal department.
It’s not really … um … 100 percent accurate.
