bunq Steps Up Crypto Expansion With EU-Wide Flexible Staking
bunq, Europe’s second largest neobank, is expanding bunq Crypto by becoming the first European challenger to launch flexible crypto staking, empowering users to earn rewards on their digital assets, with full flexibility and no lock-up periods.
Building on the successful launch of bunq Crypto in April, staking will be available in the Netherlands, France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Ireland, Germany as well as the wider EEA region. Users of the challenger bank can access crypto services offered by crypto trading platform, Kraken and are able to earn up to 10% annually on selected cryptocurrencies, by helping to validate transactions on blockchain networks.
bunq’s latest research shows nearly 65% of users say not knowing when to buy or sell is their biggest barrier to making a profit on their digital assets. To solve this, the neobank now offers flexible staking that allows users to earn rewards on their crypto without having to worry about timings or restrictive lock-up periods.
Our users have been asking for a simple way to grow their crypto,” says Joe Wilson, Chief Evangelist at bunq. “With flexible staking, they can now earn on the crypto they already own while keeping the freedom to buy, sell, or unstake anytime. We’re proud to be the first neobank to bring this to Europe.”
The news follows bunq’s announcement on applying for a broker dealer license, fast-tracking its entry into the US market as part of its global expansion plans.
