About this comparison
How to evaluate a crypto platform's track record
Time in operation can show that a business has navigated multiple market cycles, but age alone does not establish current financial strength, product quality, or safety. The founding year may also predate a company's crypto lending or yield product.
What a longer history can reveal
Older platforms provide more public evidence about uptime, withdrawal handling, security incidents, regulatory changes, and customer support. That record is useful only when reviewed alongside recent ownership, product, and balance-sheet changes.
- Performance during major market drawdowns
- History of withdrawals and service interruptions
- Security incidents and remediation
- Changes in legal entities or product terms
Founding year is a starting point
The dates shown here describe the platform or parent business where available. They should not be interpreted as the launch date of every current earn product. Verify current disclosures before depositing.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the oldest crypto lender automatically the safest?
- No. Longevity is one signal, but custody, liabilities, transparency, jurisdiction, and current product terms remain important.
- Why can a founding year predate crypto?
- Some payment or financial companies later added crypto services, so the company history may be longer than its crypto lending history.
- How is this list ordered?
- Platforms with a reported valid founding year are ordered from earliest to most recent.
