Review

Pros

Flexible Savings supports daily compounding across more than 30 eligible digital assets without a fixed lockup.
Users can combine earning, trading, and crypto-backed borrowing within one custodial account.

Cons

Users must maintain a portfolio of at least $5,000 to earn interest.
The highest rates require additional commitments, including NEXO-token exposure, NEXO-denominated rewards, a higher loyalty tier, or a fixed term.
