FAQ

XLM yield FAQ

What's the best XLM interest rate right now?

The highest XLM rate we currently track is 18.06% APY on Bitfinex, which we grade D for safety. These are base rates refreshed daily — not promotional teasers.

Is earning interest on XLM safe?

It depends on the platform, not the coin. We grade every platform A–F on five checks: regulation, proof-of-reserves, flexible withdrawals, an insurance fund, and track record. Check the grade next to each rate before depositing — a higher APY often means higher risk.

Are these XLM rates promotional?

No. We track 14 platforms for XLM and publish base rates only — never the headline promo or teaser tiers that apply to tiny balances. Floating rates are labelled as snapshots, so the number reflects what a normal balance realistically earns.
