Celsius Network Adds EOS To Interest-Earning Wallet
NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Celsius Network announced today it is listing EOS, the native proof-of-stake cryptocurrency to the EOS blockchain, in its interest-earning wallet. Now, EOS holders can stake coins and passively earn high yield with Celsius.
For many network participants, staking requires a level of time and knowledge that makes it difficult to participate. By offering simple deposits and staking with a blended yield, Celsius Network offers the EOS community a passive way to earn on their assets.
With Celsius Network, EOS holders will also be able to borrow cash or stablecoins against their EOS at rates as low as 3.45% and use EOS as collateral.
"We are excited to see the EOSIO ecosystem growing with Celsius's support for EOS," says Block.One CEO Brendan Blumer. "Block.one believes that retail deposit solutions are an important growth nexus for mainstream adoption of digital assets as transparent and competitive stores of value."
Celsius Network has more than $350 million in assets, it uses BitGo for custody for its 50,000 active wallets, the mobile app allows users to earn up to 10% interest or take loans on crypto held in their wallet. This new form of banking on the blockchain allows customers to easily deposit, borrow and earn interest with a variety of cryptocurrencies including EOS token. Interest is paid in-kind or in CEL token.
"We're doing our part to help decentralization scale by adding hundreds of millions of new users to the digital asset community, by offering innovative, customer-centric financial services, including borrowing and lending," said Alex Mashinsky, Celsius Network CEO. "When it comes to proof-of-stake, many cryptocurrency holders might not have the time or expertise required to stake, which would leave them missing out on potential rewards. We're changing that with a secure and user friendly solution."
