TOKYO – November 4, 2020 – BITFRONT, LINE Corporation’s global digital currency exchange, is now providing interest on LINE’s own crypto asset LINK (LN) deposits through a partnership with Celsius, the blockchain-based crypto reward and lending platform.
BITFRONT launched interest services in September for crypto asset deposits of Tether (USDT), Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Litecoin (LTC). Now, with the addition of LINK, users can deposit LINK and receive interest up to 12.73% (APY) in LINK. (Note: Each crypto asset has a limit amount that can be deposited for interest)
Users can sign up and find details about the service from the “Earn Interest” tab on the BITFRONT website (https://www.bitfront.me/lending/products).
Since launching in 2018, LINE has been steadily growing the token ecosystem based on its crypto asset LINK. As a global crypto exchange, BITFRONT has introduced a diverse range of financial services, aiming to expand the usage of crypto assets. The introduction of LINK to the earned interest service is aimed at increasing the usage of LINK as well as rewarding users for lending crypto assets.
BITFRONT also recently added another payment option enabling users to purchase cryptocurrencies easily with debit or credit cards directly from their wallet. And BITFRONT plans to add more features and services to further develop the crypto asset market and open up more financial possibilities.
To celebrate the launch of the LINK earned interest service, BITFRONT is carrying out a Referral Promotion event. Users can invite friends through a referral code to join the service, and once the new joiner receives the interest from their deposits, both the user and the new joiner can receive an additional 20% worth of interest in LINK. In addition, for those who join before November 29, another 10% worth of interest will be given in LINK.
