Stuck in limbo.
In Sep-2021, I started the process of creating an account. However, I've changed my mind but cannot delete the account or cancel the account creation stage. So I'm stuck in a sort of limbo.

Personally, I don't think they offer DEFI services but I work standard trading on the stock exchange. DEFI earnings are much higher than forex.

Hi Romain! BlockFi offers institutional-quality financial services to crypto investors. Everything from our client services to our products are based on tried and tested policies to provide a superior experience. BlockFi Wallet is your default account. BlockFi Wallet is a non-interest-bearing account that allows you to easily buy, sell, store, and safeguard your cryptoassets and stablecoins, without any rehypothecation on the back end. The BlockFi Interest Account (BIA)* provides you with the ability to earn more crypto while holding for long-term crypto wealth-building. Crypto interest is paid monthly and compounds, significantly increasing the potential earnings of long-term account holders. A BlockFi loan enables you to use cryptoassets as collateral and receive USD to your bank account. Borrowing against your cryptoassets is a great way to provide liquidity now, without being forced to sell your cryptoassets directly. BlockFi Trading is an easy way to trade between your different assets within the BlockFi platform. The best part is that you earn compound crypto interest while trading. BlockFi aggregates liquidity to offer seamless trade execution and pricing. The rates displayed when you place a trade reflect the price you will pay with no additional fees. BlockFi does not provide financial or tax advice and you should consider your financial situation and seek appropriate financial and tax advice before deciding to use our services.

Takes too long for interest to get paid. They lied to me about there welcome bonus, i joined so that i could spread my crypto across other cefi platforms. Welcome bonus has not been paid after 90days of being with them. Customer support is slow. I am happy to leave this company. Blockfi are a poorly executed cefi exchange. I will never recommend or ever use this platform again. Edit - i spoke to a customer advisor that went above and beyond to fix my issue, im going to continue using blockfi for the time being as the customer advisor settled my nerves around the platform. He mentioned they were working on changes that would compliment the platform. Everyone deserves a second chance. I hope one day i can change the rating to 5 but for now i will change to 3 and after the improvements are issues have been settled, i can and will adjust.

I am a customer for over a year now. I would use your Plattform much more if you would allow: To place limit buy/sell orders To actually make it possible to identify the performance/average buying price of coins bought with you. Other than that I am fine with you except the high spreads and withdrawal fees but ok.

Hi Klaus, thank you for the feedback! We truly appreciate feedback from our clients. As of right now finding your average price is a manual process and we apologize for the inconvenience. We have heard from many clients on this topic as well. Also, limit orders are something on our roadmap, so we would invite you to stay tuned to our social channels for a future announcement on when that will become available. Thank you for being a client!

Use to be great but Blockfi keeps Lowering their rates to the point that it wasn’t worth the risk. I moved to Nexo and have been happy with their consistent rates. The best part of Blockfi is their customer service and the ability to speak to someone directly. After my initial review I received a call and they do truly care about their customers. I am holding out hope for better rates in the future.

Hey Danny! From all of us at BlockFi, we hear you. While we understand that rate changes aren't welcome news, rest assured that we remain committed to providing market leading value and helping your assets grow. These adjustments are part of BlockFi’s ongoing mission to continue delivering high-quality, long-term service for our clients while expanding our innovative product offering in a competitive and scalable way. In the medium term, we remain optimistic that we may see yield increases in the coming months as crypto hedging activity picks up. When this happens, BlockFi clients will be the first to know and benefit. We truly appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback and thank you kindly for being a BlockFi client.

I have been a BlockFi client for some time now and overall my experience has been positive. However the withdrawal process in transferring (USDT) to my wallet address takes about two business days. In the world of crypto this is exceptionally slow. If I wanted to wait two days+ to move my assets around I'd walk into a bank. Every other exchange I've used has completed withdrawals within 3 hours or less, why so slow BlockFi? The official line is "it's for my protection", well if I wanted this level of hand-holding I'd of stayed within traditional finance.

Hi Chris. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. While we acknowledge that our withdrawal process may cause a slight inconvenience, we have to find a balance between speed and security. We always appreciate your feedback. Thank you so much for being a valued BlockFi client!

Pretty good so far. Excited to see how the interest on holding pays off (I am less than a month in). Also excitingly awaiting the BlockFi Credit Card. HOWEVER.. I am not a big fan of the higher spot prices for ETH, BTC, ect. when purchasing off of BlockFi. Also I have just experienced a hold for a withdrawal for a min of 24 hours. Not very helpful if your looking for a quick trade on another exchange. If those 2 items were fixed then I would give this a 5 STAR. **Worth noting that you get ONE free transfer per month. USE THIS WISELY.**

Hey Dennis! Thank you for your review! In regards to prices, BlockFi takes principal risk on all transactions, meaning we hedge transactions by buying or selling assets directly. This makes us different from exchanges with an order book in which client orders are matched against each other. To manage this principal risk, the prices BlockFi offers to our clients for buying and selling digital assets may vary, on average, + / - 1% relative to an asset's spot index price. In terms of withdrawals, we are actively working to find ways to increase speed of withdrawals while also remaining secure in order to protect our clients. We truly appreciate your feedback and thank you for being a valued BlockFi client!
