With interest rates on traditional bank deposits close to zero, searching for yield at banks is like slogging across the Sahara Desert searching for water. Investors are increasingly looking for yield elsewhere in alternative asset classes like cryptocurrencies.
In crypto, investors can earn double-digit yields in just a few steps. At the time of writing, the Amber App, the mobile crypto finance app launched by Amber Group, offers new users up to 16% APR on multiple crypto assets. Existing users have access to the app’s interest account program, which currently pays 7% APR on bitcoin and ethereum and 10% APR on USD stablecoins such as USD Coin (USDC), Tether USD (USDT), and Binance USD (BUSD).
What is the suite of offerings the Amber App provides? Why can the Amber App offer investors highly competitive interest rates? Let’s do some digging to understand how it works.
Amber App – Earn, Invest, Swap, and Trade Crypto at Your Fingertips
Amber Group launched the Amber App in early Q3 2020 to broaden its crypto finance services to individual investors. The launch has seen impressive user growth, with the number of registered users increasing four-fold since December 2020 to over 100,000. Designed for all levels of crypto learners – whether you are a beginner or an expert – the Amber App allows you to easily earn, invest, swap and trade crypto all at your fingertips.
Amber Earn
Amber Earn is the Amber App’s interest account program and by far the most popular offering amongst investors. Designed for investors who want to earn extra income on their passive capital, Amber Earn is available in two products: Flexible Earn and Fixed Earn.
With Flexible Earn, you can instantly earn up to 5% APY on your deposits in the Amber App wallet and benefit from daily interest distributions. That means getting paid interest every day and benefitting from compound interest.
With Fixed Earn, you can earn up to 10% APR on fixed-term deposits, which you can customize based on your liquidity preference. Choose from subscription periods ranging from 1 to 360 days. If you’re looking to put your assets to work, both options are great ways to earn yields with low risk.
Yields offered on the Amber Earn products are primarily generated from 3 sources: capturing the basis trade by taking advantage of the disparity between the spot and futures markets; the interest income from over-collateralized lending to institutions and corporate clients; margin funding payments from users financing leveraged positions.
Swap and Trade
Apart from earning yield, you can also swap and trade your cryptocurrencies. You can instantly swap between tokens in under 3 seconds for a low 0.05% fee or trade multiple spot currency pairs at competitive pricing. Additionally, non-U.S users are eligible for margin trading, which increases your capital efficiency with leverage. Traders can also benefit from asset flexibility by using their interest-bearing Earn assets as collateral for margin trading on the platform, in other words, doing more with your assets.
Yield Boost
Amber Group designed Amber App to abstract away the difficulties around trading and investing in crypto. Trading crypto derivatives is no exception. Yield Boost offers non-professional traders a safe and easy way to enhance their yield by monetizing their market view. Yield Boost is for investors who are committed to accumulating more crypto at a discount during market dips or selling crypto to take profits during market rallies. What sets Yield Boost apart from other crypto options trading tools in the market? You can customize your Yield Boost by choosing a currency pair, a maturity date, and any strike price (versus the standard set of limited option expiries). Benefit from knowing your yield upfront with a pre-determined yield, and depending on whether the market price is above or below your strike price at maturity, receive your proceeds in-kind (i.e. BTC) or in the quote currency (i.e. USD).
