When you click on “Top-up” button next to Stellar (XLM), BNB, EOS or Nexo (BEP2) position on your Nexo account a respective deposit address including a unique ‘Memo’ will be automatically created.
This Memo is an extra piece of information that has to be included when sending a Stellar (XLM), BNB, EOS and Nexo BEP2 to your Nexo account.
The Memo is used to determine to which account a given transaction should be assigned and credited to. The Memo is numerical (7 digits) and has to be included with all XLM, BNB, EOS, Nexo BEP2 deposits to your Nexo account.
An example Memo is:
2034567
Please, always ensure to include the correct Memo before transferring your XLM, BNB, EOS and Nexo BEP2 to your Nexo account. Leaving out this information will lead to significant delays in crediting the transaction to your account, and can be irretrievable in some instances.
A Stellar (XLM) “account merge” transactions transfer the native balance (the whole amount of XLM an account holds) to another account and removes the source account from the ledger.
Operations such as “account merge” are not considered as deposits. We only support “Payment operation” for XLM deposits.
To avoid unsupported “account merge” transactions, we recommend leaving 1 XLM in your sending account.
Please note that merging XLM accounts to Nexo’s might result in your funds being unrecoverable.
Missing or incorrect TAG/MEMO:
Please refer to this article.
Deposit of unsupported by Nexo crypto assets:
In general, Nexo does not offer a token/coin recovery service for crypto assets which are unavailable on our platform (i.e. tokens deployed on Ethereum (ERC-20), Polygon, Binance Beacon (BEP2) Chain, TronChain, etc.). Nexo will judge and determine if it is possible to retrieve such assets.
IMPORTANT! Please make sure to only transfer supported crypto assets over the respective Blockchain network supported by Nexo. Тransferring unsupported assets to your Nexo account will result in permanent loss.
Deposit to an address that doesn’t belong to Nexo:
Crypto assets sent to an address that is not associated with your Nexo account or doesn’t belong to Nexo cannot be recovered. Nexo does not know who controls those addresses and has no means of retrieving such assets. If you are aware to whom the address you sent your assets belongs, then in order to get your crypto back, please contact that address owner.
Please note that, if possible, to recover your crypto coins, we may need to install or upgrade the wallet software, export/import private keys, etc. These operations can only be conducted by authorised staff under strict supervision. Please be patient as it may take over one month to retrieve your crypto.
Missing or incorrect TAG/MEMO:
If you forgot or used an incorrect Destination Tag (XRP) or Memo (XLM, BNB, EOS, Nexo BEP2), then your deposit will not be credited to your Nexo account. Please submit a ticket to our Support team.
In order for Nexo to verify the transaction and to expedite the process of locating your crypto assets, please provide the following information:

For security reasons, we require a digital asset/cryptocurrency deposit to receive a number of confirmations on its blockchain before the funds can be credited to your account.
What are confirmations?
When a transaction is broadcasted to the network, it has to wait to be included in a block by the miners. Once a transaction has been included in a mined block, the transaction has received 1 confirmation. With each subsequent block, the number of confirmations increases for the transaction.
Why are there confirmation requirements?
To avoid the risks of reorganisations (reorgs) of blocks. That is why it is necessary to wait for a specific number of confirmations. Also, double spending can be avoided when funds aren’t credited until a certain number of confirmations have taken place (as listed further below).
The more confirmations received, the more permanent/irreversible the transaction is.
ETH & ERC-20 tokens validations
Prior to the Ethereum Merge, the number of block confirmations determined the amount of time required for a top-up over the Ethereum network to be reflected. Currently, each transaction is reflected only when the status of the block containing it is ‘Finalized’. Down below, you can learn about the lifecycle of ERC-20 deposits:
What ERC-20 assets are supported on Nexo?
ETH, PAXG, USDT, USDC, DAI, NEXO, TUSD, USDP, BUSD, LINK, UNI, AXS, SAND, MANA, GALA, SUSHI, CRV, AAVE, APE, 1INCH, MKR, HT, FTT, MATIC, SWEAT, LDO, ENS, GMT, COMP, SNX, GRT, CHZ, CVX, DYDX, FXS
How long do confirmations take for the remaining networks?
Each block is found at a different rate depending on the blockchain.
For example, on the Bitcoin blockchain, a block is mined on average every 10 minutes, and Nexo only credits Bitcoin deposits to a client’s account after a minimum of 3 confirmations, which takes approximately 30 minutes.
However, sometimes when the network is heavily used, it can take Bitcoin miners 30 or even 60 minutes to mine a single block (1 confirmation).
As explained above, the time required for blocks to be included in the blockchain may increase significantly when the network is overloaded due to high demand. This inevitably leads to delayed transactions. One thing that can speed up your transfers to Nexo is opting for higher mining fees (gas fee) which usually leads to quicker blockchain confirmations.
| Asset | Number of confirmations |
| BTC (Bitcoin) | 3 confirmations |
| ETH, LINK, USDT, USDC, DAI, AAVE, SUSHI (Polygon network) |
200 confirmations
|
| MATIC (Polygon) |
127 confirmations
|
| BNB, BUSD (Binance Smart Chain) |
70 confirmations
|
| XRP (Ripple), XLM (Stellar), BNB, NEXO BEP2, and EOS | near-instant |
| BCH (Bitcoin Cash) | 15 confirmations |
| LTC (Litecoin) | 12 confirmations |
| TRX (Tron) | 20 confirmations |
| DOGE (Dogecoin) | 10 confirmations |
| ADA (Cardano) | 1 confirmation |
| DOT (Polkadot) | 2 confirmations |
Important:
When you send a Ripple (XRP) deposit to your Nexo account, a unique ‘Destination Tag’ is also generated. This tag is an extra piece of information that has to be included when sending a Ripple transaction to your Nexo account.
Always ensure to include the correct Destination Tag before sending your XRP deposit. Leaving out this information will lead to significant delays in crediting the transaction to your account, and can be irretrievable in certain cases.
The minimum amount of crypto assets you can withdraw is:
Kindly note that an additional top-up may be required in case your current crypto balance is below the respective minimum withdrawal limit.
Depending on your Loyalty tier, you will receive between 1 and 5 monthly crypto withdrawals completely free of charge.
Important: In case you have used up your free withdrawals, you will have to cover the transaction fee which is deducted from the withdrawal amount. In case you are trying to withdraw the minimum amount and have no free withdrawal left, the system will take into account the respective withdrawal fee. Hence, the on-screen notification will indicate a higher minimum withdrawal amount resulting from the included fee which is otherwise covered by Nexo.
Nexo does not apply any fees to FiatX top-ups and withdrawals, Credit Line withdrawals, and crypto transfers to other users within the Nexo platform. Furthermore, under our #ZeroFees policy, we do not charge any Credit Line origination, forex, and exchange fees.

Minimum fiat deposits limits are not imposed by Nexo but by their partners. They are looking to lower it. As soon as banking acquisition happens, Nexo can change this.
It seems like there is a bug on the platform, where it gives you an error when trying to exchange, sell or withdraw the ‘maximum’ amount of an asset. For example, if you have 1.2345 BTC and you want to swap that for USDT, try exchanging 1.2344 or 1.234 as there seems to be a rounding error.
Edit: Nexo confirms this error was fixed for the official exchange, but still happens when withdrawing assets or moving assets into a term, etc.
Dividends were replaced with Daily Interest after a governance vote. You now earn up to 12% APY on your Nexo tokens and you earn 7% 4% on your Nexo tokens held in collateral.
To “reward” loyal customers who support the project and Nexo token itself, Nexo have decided to do (yearly*) dividends, this means they give 30% of the benefits (profits) the company earned since the last dividend back to the nexo holders. Based on how many tokens you have and knowing there is currently a fixed supply of 560 millions tokens you can calculate what % you should get. Furthermore, they have an extra “bonus” for those who have held onto the tokens for a long time. This bonus is small, but it helps differentiate those who are holders and those who purchase nexo tokens before a dividend to cash in. Read the question below about frequency.
So far, dividends have been yearly, in August. There have been mentions from Nexo that they’d like to do it more regularly. As any business/stock that do dividends, the price of the token/stock decreases drastically after dividend payout. Do not be alarmed.
Yes, but paid out in BTC. You can receive it in NEXO as well, but you must be an accredited investor. Read this https://nexo.io/blog/get-20-more-with-nexo-s-bonus-dividend
Yes, advanced verification is necessary.
NEXO Tokens must be held/staked in your Nexo account (doesn’t matter if it’s in the Credit or Savings Wallet) at the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date will be communicated in advance.

You now have the ability to preserve the value of your collateralized assets during a market downturn and improve the health of your credit line in a matter of seconds with Collateral Exchange, i.e. the option to exchange assets in your Credit Line Wallet.
Your Credit Line Wallet spans the assets used as collateral for your Instant Crypto Credit Line™. With Collateral Exchange, you can preserve the value of your collateral – both the part already used to back a credit line* as well as the excess collateral in the Credit Line Wallet.
Imagine the price of your collateral depreciates, and you don’t want to make repayments – you are basically running the risk of a liquidation. By converting negative trending assets into better performing ones you can maintain a healthy Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio and prevent automatic repayments of your credit line.
When you withdraw a Nexo credit line, it is backed by one or a combination of many of the assets in your Credit Line Wallet. Until now, you have been enjoying the flexibility of managing your collateral by transferring funds between the Savings and the Credit Line Wallets. This, however, requires additional assets. Luckily, the new swap option in the Credit Line Wallet lets you change your collateral without this requirement for additional assets.
This feature provides you with an unrivalled level of flexibility to adjust your portfolio at the most crucial times according to your investment strategy and goals. It is an opportunity to protect your portfolio and re-enter the market only when you think the time is right. With that peace of mind, you can revert your portfolio back to its original crypto mix when the market is down to maximize your holdings.
How Does Collateral Exchange Work?
These are the steps to follow:
If the amount of collateral is not enough for the swap to be executed, you can always move more assets to the Credit Wallet from the Savings Wallet. Check this article to learn how.
Last but not least, below is an example to illustrate how the exchange of collateral works when the LTV of the output currency is lower than that of the input currency:
Suppose you have exchanged your BTC for DAI to improve your LTV. When market conditions are right, you may want to restore your original collateral lineup by exchanging DAI for BTC. Since the LTV ratio attributed to BTC (50.00%) is lower than that of DAI (90.00%), you would not be able to complete the swap unless you transfer more assets from the Savings to the Credit Line wallet. The amount of extra collateral moved to your Credit Line wallet must be enough to ensure that the output LTV can support the loan, as otherwise, the exchange would be declined. In simple terms, it must be enough to compensate for the increased output LTV. Bellow, you can find a more detailed breakdown of the given example:
you have 20 000 USD in BTC and 10 000 USD loan with Loan-to-Value = 50% and no excess collateral in the Credit Wallet
after swapping BTC to DAI, you will have ±20 000 USD in DAI with the same loan of 10 000 USD, new Loan-to-Value = 90%. This means that you now have ±11 000 USD in DAI as collateral to secure the loan allowing you to move the excess of collateral ±9000 USD in DAI to the Savings Wallet and earn interest on it or swap it to any other currency directly from the Credit Line Wallet.
To swap DAI back to BTC – you can swap the ±9000 USD in DAI to BTC at any time, because they are now excess collateral, except when you take a new loan with that excess. The rest ±11 000 USD in DAI cannot be converted to assets with lower LTV, including BTC.
To swap DAI for other assets with lower LTV (30%), like Stellar, you would need to have at least ±30 000 USD worth of Stellar in your Credit Wallet after the swap to secure the loan. Therefore, to make it happen, you would have to move 10 000 DAI to your Credit Wallet from the Savings Wallet to make the swap.
Alternatively, based on the same example, you would be able to move ±9000 DAI (excess collateral) to your Saving Wallet and swap it for whatever assets you want.

The minimum order on the Nexo Exchange is ±30 USD, and the maximum is ±250,000 USD.
There is no limit as to how many transactions you can make during any given day.
Please note that the values above are intended as a general reference and may vary due to dynamic factors. Therefore, we recommend that you try the Nexo Exchange to find out the precise order limit for the trading pair of interest (see the screenshot below):

Effective December 9, 2021, you can get up to 0.5% cashback with every purchase or swap through the Nexo Exchange as long as you are in the Silver, Gold, or Platinum tier of our Loyalty Program. Please find the cashback rates per loyalty tier in the breakdown below:
(1-5% NEXO Tokens)
(5-10% NEXO Tokens)
(At least 10% NEXO Tokens)
In essence, at least 1% of your portfolio must be in NEXO Tokens for you to be eligible for the Exchange Cashback.
The total cashback paid is limited to $100,000 in exchange volume per month. That means you will be earning cashback until your total monthly amount of swaps exceeds $100,000. That limit resets back to $0 on the last day of each month at 23:59:59 GMT+2*.
*Example: A client based in California exchanges assets through the Nexo Exchange on December 31, 2021, at 22:00 local time /Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)/. The platform recognizes the exchange time as January 1, 2022, 08:00 GMT+2, and therefore the exchange falls into January’s exchange volume limit and not December’s.

According to Nexo: There is no concept of hidden fees. They pioneered the 0-fee policy. They are very transparent of all charges they make. The hidden fee is referring to Spread. Has to do with bid/ask on exchanges (do not forget, the Nexo Exchange takes the best available price from numerous third party exchanges to give you the best rate at the time), this spread is not something that Nexo determines.
Nexo is the world’s most advanced, regulated digital assets institution offering quick fiat on-ramps for 40+ cryptocurrencies, industry-leading earn rates on assets, intuitive crypto exchange, instant crypto credit lines, and the world’s first crypto-backed credit card.
The company’s mission is to maximize the value and utility of cryptocurrencies. We help 4+ million users in 200+ jurisdictions grow their crypto wealth through our comprehensive product suite.
The Nexo platform combines seamless user experience with military-grade security and $775M insurance. Clients’ assets are stored and protected in individually assigned multi-signature wallets in cold storage with Ledger Vault, Bakkt, and the only qualified, audited, Goldman Sachs-backed custodian – BitGo. To provide full transparency, Nexo is working with Armanino LLP to deliver real-time attestation over the company’s custodial holdings.

You can use your Nexo crypto-backed loan for whatever purpose you like. You can use it for investments, just like in a margin account, but without having to deposit the new tokens as collateral. You can use it to buy a new car, a new TV, or a new home. You can spend it on vacation or traveling the world. It’s up to your imagination.
Yes. For the moment, Nexo provides a centralized service, as the current blockchain infrastructure does not allow fully autonomous solutions and attempting to build one at this stage would create more problems than solutions.

Nexo delivers the The World’s First Instant Crypto-backed Loans, thus resolving a crucial inefficiency for the crypto world. Up to this very moment, no alternatives existed for digital asset owners to enjoy their crypto wealth except selling them. The innovative model of Nexo brings to the crypto community the best of both worlds – retaining 100% ownership of their digital assets while having immediate access to cash.
The Instant Crypto-backed Loans are an automatic, flexible and cost-efficient way of obtaining liquidity that is secured by the value of the client’s digital assets. The whole process is completed in just a few simple clicks. No hidden fees, no capital gains taxes, no credit checks. Transparency is guaranteed through the use of blockchain technology, smart contracts and algorithmic processes executed by the Nexo Oracle.
Due to SEC limitations and regulations (not Nexo’s fault), there are some restrictions for US customers.
Nexo is powered by Credissimo, a leading FinTech Group serving millions of people across Europe for over 10 years. Credissimo has always operated under the highest regulatory requirements and strictest supervision by multiple European Banking and Financial Services Regulators. Now the same Team and its Board of Advisors, empowered by the ever-growing community of Nexo supporters and the enormous demand for the Instant Crypto-backed Loans, are unlocking the value of the digital assets in a rapidly expanding token economy that will alter the very fabric of a $5 trillion dollar market.
Nexo was founded by the Credissimo team who have been in business for over 10+ years and awarded as one of the top 100 Financial Tech companies in Europe.
They can’t loan out without raising money, of course. So either they have to loan themselves with better terms, raise money through other means, or steadily process the loans facing a supply drought and customer loss. I could imagine that it would be technically legal for a certain % of the collateral to be sold, just like banks are not required to keep 100% of their customers cash in liquid form, but I have quite frankly no clue how this applies to nexo and crypto assets.
Since Nexo is properly registered in the EU, and given the EU’s tendency to protect customers rather than company’s, Id honestly assume we would have a novelty court case over this issue, with the expected result that the collateral has to be given back out, if it is still available. But as it often happens in crypto, if the coins are sold illegally its hard to reverse that kind of damage, and its even more tough to access them if they were sent to another wallet. I do not really think that there is a reasonable possibility of this happening without Nexo deliberately destroying their business/turning criminal, because of the nature of this business and the contracts, and I would assume that not turning criminal is a much, much more profitable strategy in the long run, because Nexo is well positioned to assume dominance in this market for what we know so far.
With people then realising their collateral is valued at less then the money they have to pay back, thus being incentivised towards defaulting rather than paying back to get their crypto.) If the collateral does not cover the loan due to falling prices, the loan agreement as far as I know will be automatically terminated, with the collateral held in the nexo account. The customer must either default through the prices not covering the loan amount, or with failure of payback itself, its not really possible that both the customer fails to pay back the money AND the collateral declines in value below the worth of the loan unless the market crashes so spectacularly that the collateral cannot be automatically sold. However the outcome is technically the same, nexo itself does not lose money if the client defaults (unless prices crash faster than nexo is able to sell, or the volume is gone, et cetera., which I think at this point is relatively unreasonable to assume.), and I think the “take a loan -> buy more crypto -> take more loans” scenario is incredibly unreasonable given that you can easily margin-trade with much higher leverage and less trouble than what nexo could loan out to you, so I dont assume loans are being taken for actual crypto investments, I rather think people believe in the collateral assuming value and see it as a locked up investment with extra short term utility
Lending is the most profitable crypto market segment. Businesses are now parking their idle cash with crypto lenders. This trickle will soon become a flood. Nexo is arguably the most profitable lender. NEXO made ~$20m profit it’s first year alone, paying a $6m dividend.
Considering that the founders of Nexo are some of the same people behind Credissimo an established successful award winning FinTech Group founded in 2007 which is still around gives gives me reassurance that my coins are somewhat safe. At the end of the day we’re all taking a risk here. I’d be very surprised if Nexo just runs off with all our money in the process tainting all the work they’ve put in from Credissimo to here. It is poor that they haven’t done much to reassure us that our crypto/money is as secure as they say but they have a track record that seems to speak for itself. Not many other defi platforms can do the same and we are seeing that almost every second day with the hacks occurring in the ecosystem.
There are actual people behind this thing that we can hold accountable. People who have Forbes articles written about them. People who have been on the news. I’m not saying it’s still not possible for a security breach but again their track record seems to speak for itself.
In the unlikely event that Nexo goes under, yes, your money is gone. There is no insurance in the world that covers something like that I’m afraid. It’s the same for Celsius, CDC, or any wallet provider.. remember, not your keys not your crypto. There is always a risk.
Update 07-2022: As proven by CelPonzi (yes, Celsius has always been a ponzi and I’ve warned users of it for years), there is always a risk. That being said, Nexo is in my opinion the safest CeFi lender out there. From the public attestation, amazing communication with users, licenses and security practises.. I am confident that Nexo is here to stay.
Simple, they borrow your money for ~8% and they lend it out for ~11.9% (no loyalty, this used to be 24.9% but I guess they changed it because it made them look like loan-sharks).
The concept behind Nexo is to make Crypto as liquid as possible for clients. Instead of selling crypto you can temporarily supplement it for a small loan.
Their average loan is well above the 5.9% minimum and more people are using the service to borrow rather than lend.
They are profitable, but don’t expect the stablecoin interest to remain at 8%-12% long term, it’s to attract new customers! Just like Crypto.com did.
One thing to note, the business model is SOLID, but only in a stable or bullish market. If for some reason Crypto market tanks, then it could become an issue.
The Loan-to-Value (i.e. ~60% for BTC and ETH) is dynamically determined by the Nexo Oracle algorithms, depending on the current and historical volatility and market liquidity of the asset. If the assets decrease significantly in value and you do not contribute additional assets to your Nexo Wallet after receiving a warning from the Nexo Oracle, Nexo may initiate small liquidations to cover any insufficiency.
In simple terms, Nexo should have no issue dealing with market crashes (as previously proven by previous market dips), as everything is over-collateralized and secure.
The buyback has started, it seems like they are doing the buyback bit by bit instead of the full amount all at once. They purchase these tokens from the open market, where there is liquidity (Huobi for instance). You can check how many tokens have been bought back so far here: https://etherscan.io/address/0x1C433CBF4777e1f0dCe0374d79aaa8ecDC76B497#tokentxns
Update: The buyback has been completed, there is currently no news on another buyback.
NEXO is definitely not a pyramid scheme, if it were, how is it functioning like one? I’m not buying anything from Nexo to sell or refer anyone else to use it.
I can’t really give you more advice, just from my experience using it, talking to various team members at Nexo, and being in the Nexonians groups I haven’t ever had a single doubt or worry that my assets were at risk. (Well no, sorry, apart from a few hours a few weeks ago when the mistaken automatic liquidations happened. As there was no official response for a few hours I got worried the repayment of assets could seriously hurt them, but they announced that Kraken was covering all costs for the f.. up so all is well).
Is it a perfect platform? Nope. It has it’s flaws. Company-wise, communication could be a lot better and they keep saying it’s something they are working on, and then they do something really silly without announcements and take 2 steps back in the communication part. (Update: Nexo has vastly improved it’s communication since it’s early days, now they announce changes in advance, and are much more open to communication and feedback!)
As for the platform itself, I’d say things like address whitelisting (Update: added!), per-asset earn in kind or in nexo selection, credit card (Update: added!), and a bunch of other things are missing.
That being said. It’s hands down the best platform for earning and taking out loans, period. Does it have the absolute best rates? No, especially compared to DeFi alternatives. But is the app 99% flawless, easy to use, intuitive? Yes!
Other CeFi lending/earning platforms have major downsides, or their platforms just suck to use. Want a loan from Celsius? That’s a minimum of 6 months please. Oh and want to repay it or close it? Gotta email the support and wait ages for a response. In NEXO? 1 month minimum loan, loan comes out in 10 seconds (no joke, my recent usdc loan got credited in 8 seconds), and repayment is all instant within the app. No troubles or hassles.
Earning-wise, it’s so much simpler to use as well. No blocking from withdrawals for 24 hours (blockfi), FIAT withdrawals are the fastest I’ve ever experienced ever. I sold some assets and requested the fiat bank withdrawal, it arrived in just a few hours. It’s unreal.
I’d say, in essence, no, it’s definitely not a pyramid scheme.
Since its launch in 2018, Nexo has always aimed to be a powerhouse solving real problems for the blockchain industry and its growing number of users across the globe. Nexo’s product development has been and will continue to be set by the blockchain community’s needs.
Nexo’s project team is thus always actively sourcing feedback and proposals as to how the Nexo ecosystem can be further improved and in what direction Nexo’s products should evolve.
Any Nexo community member who has a particular idea, proposal, or suggestion about the utilities of the NEXO Token, the development of our current products, or the creation of new products is welcome to become an active contributor to the ever-growing Nexo ecosystem. Should you have a particular suggestion, please share it by filling in this form. All suggestions will be forwarded and reviewed by Nexo’s most relevant team members. Some of those suggestions may very well also be put forward as a governance vote for NEXO Token holders to vote upon.
The NEXO Governance Vote will give you a say on key decisions for every NEXO Token you hold. Governance for a Blockchain usually means a system for managing and implementing changes to said blockchain. For instance, a governance vote could be held on what users believe is more important for the dev team to work on, things like that. It gives extra utility to holding the Nexo Token, as each Nexo token has a “vote”, which means, the more Nexo tokens you hold, the more your overall vote towards the poll counts.
June 7th 2021 was the first vote: Daily Interest on NEXO and a Final Dividend

Follow these simple steps and start earning high-yielding annual interest on your idle crypto:
1. Log in to your secure Nexo account.
2. Transfer assets into your Nexo Wallet or purchase crypto directly on the Nexo Exchange.
Earn on Crypto is available for BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP, EOS, XLM, BCH, USDT, USDC, TUSD, DAI, PAXG, USDP, BUSD, LINK, TRX, BNB, DOT, DOGE, ADA, MATIC, AXS, SOL, AVAX, FTM, ATOM, KSM, NEAR, APE, RUNE, GMX and NEXO, with more assets coming soon!
IMPORTANT! Please make sure to only transfer supported crypto assets over the respective Blockchain network supported by Nexo. Тransferring unsupported assets to your Nexo account will result in permanent loss.
3. Earn! You will start earning compounding interest after a minimum of 24 hours of your transfer. All interest is paid out daily.
Your interest is automatically paid into your Savings Wallet so that the next day you begin earning interest on it too.
As an additional benefit, the 24-hour cool-off period is not applied to assets bought with a Debit/Credit card on the Nexo Exchange. Therefore, you will receive your first corresponding yield with the interest payout the following day.
4. Enjoy your high-yield passive income.
Please note that assets held in your Credit Line Wallet (used as collateral) will not earn interest. The only exception to that is the NEXO token.
Your interest rate is determined by:
1. Your Loyalty level.
2. The type of interest payout:
– if the interest earned is paid in kind (the same cryptocurrency), then there is no additional bonus.
– if the interest earned is paid in NEXO Tokens, then you can receive an up to 2% bonus on interest on all your holdings.
3. The type of savings term (FLEX or Fixed). Please note that Fixed Terms for Dogecoin and stablecoins are currently not available.
Due to changes applied, the exact interest rates, depending on the user’s Loyalty tier and bonuses applicable for fixed terms and/or earning in NEXO Tokens, are indicated on the Nexo platform. You can also check the highest interest rates per asset by clicking here.
Only the amount above the threshold in your current Loyalty level is impacted. The threshold applies for each asset separately, not your entire portfolio.
For example, if you are in the Base Loyalty level and have 60,000 USD worth of BTC in FLEX terms, you will be earning up to 4% annual interest on 25,000 USD, and up to 2.5% annual interest on the remaining 35,000 USD which are above the threshold.
Your interest is credited into your Savings Wallet daily and is then calculated in your upcoming interest transactions.
Daily Interest = Principal amount (in original cryptocurrency) x (APY/365)
Example:
Calculations based on 1000 ADA deposit.
1. If you are in the Platinum tier and have created a Fixed saving term & you have chosen to earn interest in NEXO Tokens, your annual interest will be 8% (5% + 1% + 2%) and your daily interest will be calculated as follows:
1000 ADA x 0.02191780% = 0.2191780 ADA (which will be converted to USD and then to NEXO Tokens)
2. If you are in the Platinum tier and have created a Fixed saving term & you have chosen to earn interest in kind (same cryptocurrency), then your annual interest will be 6% (5% + 1%), and your daily interest will be calculated as follows:
1000 ADA x 0.01596535% = 0.1596535 ADA
3. If you are in the Base tier and have created a Fixed saving term & you have chosen to earn interest in NEXO Tokens, your annual interest will be 5% (4% + 1% + 0%) and your daily interest will be calculated as follows:
1000 ADA x 0.01369863% = 0.1369863 ADA (which will be converted to USD and then to NEXO Tokens)
4. If you are in the Base tier and have created a Fixed saving term & you have chosen to earn interest in kind (same cryptocurrency), then your annual interest will be 5% (4% + 1%) and your daily interest will be calculated as follows:
1000 ADA x 0.01336806% = 0.1336806 ADA
*The interest paid in NEXO Tokens is not compounding but a simple one.
Important: Your interest rate will be adapted according to your current Loyalty tier which may vary depending on your Nexo-to-Portfolio ratio. Kindly note that the latter is influenced by the current market price of your assets including the NEXO Token.
You will need to have NEXO Tokens in your portfolio worth 10% of the total value of all your assets to be eligible for the highest interest rates. In other words, you have to be in the Platinum tier of our Loyalty Program.
The exact amount of NEXO Tokens required for the bonus interest rates at any given moment will depend on the token price and will be displayed in the Total Interest Earned section:
Example:
If the total portfolio balance in your Nexo account equals 10 000 USD, you will have to stake 1000 USD worth of NEXO Tokens. As the price of the crypto assets fluctuates, it is advisable to add more NEXO Tokens to ensure that you will not miss out on our bonus interest rates.
You can also check your Total Portfolio Balance at any time in your Nexo account:
The interest will be paid out in the same currency as your deposit currency (e.g. if you top up LTC, you will earn interest in LTC) or in NEXO Tokens (giving you up to +2% bonus).
Please follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Nexo account.
2. Then click on “My Profile”.
3. Clink on “Settings.”
4. Choose “Interest payout in NEXO tokens.”
5. Congratulations! You have activated the up to +2% interest bonus on all assets held in your Savings Wallet.
You can see the daily interest from active deposits accumulated in the Account section under ‘Total Interest Earned’.
After clicking on the Total Earned button, you can access detailed information about all the crypto assets and the interest you have earned so far:
We will also send a weekly email to all the clients with active deposits that are earning interest. The email will contain information about the accumulated interest for the past 7 days, per asset.
The email will include only those assets for which at least one interest transaction was credited during the past week. Тhe total amount earned will be presented in the email in US dollars for comparison. Keep in mind that you will still receive your interest payments in kind, not in USD.
We are committed to protecting your assets by lending them to institutions on an overcollateralized basis only, the way our crypto-backed loans work. Our rates are kept stable over time, because of Nexo’s risk policy to never lend without collateral.
In case you have enabled the Auto Unlock Term option or you would like to find out more about it, please refer to this article.
The Nexo Earn Interest Product is not available for citizens or residents of certain jurisdictions, including where restrictions may apply, such as Bulgaria, Estonia and the USA.
Please note that in order to be paid interest on your FiatX (EURx, GBPx, USDx) and crypto assets, they have to be held in your Savings Wallet.
Please note that we do not pay interest on the funds, which are locked as collateral, except our NEXO Token.
The first interest payment after the initial top-up will be paid no earlier than after 24h of the successful top-up between 07:00 am – 8:00 am CET on the following day.
The same 24-48h cool-off on the Earn interest is applied to assets moved from the Credit Wallet to the Savings Wallet and assets moved from Nexo Pro to the Nexo platform. This is in order to prevent improper use of the Nexo Platform and to safeguard Nexo as a company, but more importantly, our clients and investors.
1. Successful top-up credited at 6:30 am CET on the 10th of June. The first interest payment will take place between 7:00 am – 8:00 am CET on the 11th of June. The waiting period equals 24.5h.
2. Successful top-up credited at 8:00 am CET on the 10th of June. The first interest payment will happen between 7:00 am – 8:00 am CET on 12th June. Thus the waiting period equals 47h (the 24h-period is over at 8:00 am CET on the 11th of June and the interest is paid out between 7:00 am – 8:00 am CET on the 12th of June ).
As an additional benefit to all users, the 24-hour cool-off period is not applied to assets bought with a Debit/Credit card on the Nexo Exchange. Therefore, you will receive your first corresponding yield with the interest payout the following day.
Important:

2. The interest paid in NEXO Tokens is not compounding but a simple one
3. The ‘Interest payout in NEXO’ feature is currently not available to citizens and residents of the USA.
Please be advised that new crypto and fiatX top-ups do not earn interest until the 24-hour cool-off period is over. If assets on cool-off are exchanged within our platform, then the new assets acquired via the exchange will be subject to the same 24-hour cool-off period.
On the other hand, assets that have already passed the 24-hour cool-off period are not subject to another cool-off period if exchanged within Nexo.
As an additional benefit to all users, the 24-hour cool-off period is not applied to assets bought with a Debit/Credit card on the Nexo Exchange. Therefore, you will receive your first corresponding yield with the interest payout the following day.
Important:
1. Exchanging crypto for fiat or vice versa, buying crypto with card, and the Nexo Booster are unavailable for clients residing in Australia.
2. The Nexo Earn Interest Product is not available for citizens or residents of certain jurisdictions, including where restrictions may apply, such as Bulgaria, Estonia and the USA.
The Fixed Terms functionality allows you to earn our highest savings yields on crypto and fiatX – if you choose to create a term on your cryptocurrencies and fiatX for 1 and 3 months, respectively. The exact fixed-term yields you earn depend on whether you receive your interest in kind or in NEXO Tokens, as well as on your Loyalty tier. When earning in kind, the interest on your Fixed Terms is compounding (APY), while when earning in NEXO, it is simple (APR).
Fixed Terms are not yet available for stablecoins, but we plan to make the addition in the near future as we continue enhancing our product line-up. For the time being, however, this means that you can earn the maximum interest on stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI, TUSD, USDP) without the need of locking those in term deposits.
Fixed Terms are also not available for Dogecoin.
NOTICE: Our former Earn offering across crypto, fiatX and stablecoins, which lets you withdraw funds at any time and brings you a unique daily payout, is now called FLEX Terms.
Due to changes applied, the exact interest rates, depending on the user’s Loyalty tier and bonuses applicable for fixed terms and/or earning in NEXO Tokens, are indicated on the Nexo platform.
Only the amount above the threshold in your current Loyalty level is impacted. The threshold applies for each asset separately, not your entire portfolio.
For example, if you are in the Base Loyalty level and have 60,000 USD worth of BTC in FLEX terms, you will be earning up to 4% annual interest on 25,000 USD, and up to 2.5% annual interest on the remaining 35,000 USD which are above the threshold.
When you choose to create a Fixed Term, your interest compounds daily, like with our FLEX Terms. As for the payout, regardless of whether in kind or in NEXO, you will receive all your interest earned for the duration of the term in a single payout at the end of the period.
Below is an illustrative example of how your Bitcoin savings account would look when you simultaneously use our FLEX and Fixed Terms:
Please navigate to your Fixed Term deposit by clicking on “Manage Wallets”:
After that, please click on the “Fixed Terms” link:
On the window that opens next, you will be able to see how much interest has been accumulated on your active Fixed Terms until now. If you changed the option of earning interest between in-kind and in NEXO Tokens, you will see both interests as seen below:
Important: Your assets, as well as the earned interest, will be unlocked between 7:00 am and 12:00 pm CET on the term’s due date.

Following the first governance vote in Nexo’s history, we are thrilled to be able to offer you Daily Interest on NEXO Tokens. Thus all NEXO token holders* can earn up to 12% interest on their NEXO holdings, paid out daily.
We are pleased to say that the NEXO in both wallets (Credit Line and Savings) will earn interest as long as you have at least 1.00 NEXO. You can earn up to 4% annually on FLEX terms regardless of your Loyalty Tier by just staking them in your account, or you can put the NEXO from your Savings Wallet in a fixed-term deposit for 3 or 12 months and get up to 9% and 12% per annum, respectively.
Kindly note that the daily interest generated during a fixed-term deposit will be paid out in a single transaction on the day after the term’s due date. For more information on this, please check the following article in our Help Center, as well as our EARN Product section.
Although you can earn daily interest on your NEXO tokens, the interest you earn on the rest of your portfolio can only be paid in kind if you are a US citizen. The rest of our clients can opt to receive the same in NEXO tokens.

What prompted these changes?
The first-of-its-kind settlement announced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and over 32 U.S. states on February 14, 2022, provided regulated clarity to crypto asset interest-bearing accounts in the U.S. and to the provision of such services going forward.
Am I impacted by the product changes?
The current changes only affect the Nexo Earn Interest Product for U.S. citizens and residents.
Existing U.S. Clients:
With these changes in place, you still earn interest on assets that have been stored only in the Savings Wallet and topped before Feb. 19th, 2022. New top-ups to your Savings Wallet will not earn interest until the restructuring of the Earn Interest Product and the registration process with the relevant regulatory bodies are finalized, as per the recently announced guidance. Once complete, eligible U.S. clients will be migrated to the Earn Interest Product 2.0 and new top-ups will earn interest. You can check the interest-earning balance of each of your assets by clicking on the ‘Manage Wallets’ button next to it. Kindly note that if you transfer currently earning assets to the Credit Line Wallet or withdraw them now and then transfer them back to your Nexo account, you will no longer earn interest on them until the expected restructuring of the Nexo Earn Product takes place.
New U.S. Clients:
Yes, the Earn Interest Product in its current form will not be available for new U.S. clients until the restructuring into Earn Interest Product 2.0 and the registration process with the relevant regulatory bodies are finalized, as per the recently received guidance. Once complete, the Earn Interest Product 2.0 will become available for all eligible clients.
When will the Nexo Earn Interest Product 2.0 launch for U.S. customers?
We’ll announce the launch of the product as soon as the required restructuring and the registration process with the relevant regulatory bodies are finalized. More precise timing will be announced in due course.
When will these changes go into effect?
The changes are effective as of February 19, 2022, at 01:00 am UTC.
You get your first interest payout the day AFTER you deposit. This is normal, to avoid people cheating the system.
It may not be clearly explained within the app, but in order to get the full potential for rates, you need to max your loyalty level as well as get paid in Nexo, on top of that, you’ll need to add your assets to a fixed term (unless it’s stablecoins). Depending on how much NEXO is part of your portfolio, your loyalty level changes, so to achieve Platinum, you must have at least 10% of your crypto portfolio in NEXO. The bonuses for each level are as follows:
Crypto = BTC, Ethereum, etc.
Stablecoins = USDC, Tether, etc.
Fiat = EUR, GBP, USD, with CAD and AUD possibly coming soon.
FIAT gets converted to their equivalent stable coin after depositing! (EURx, USDx, GBPx)
All % are PER YEAR NOT DAILY OR MONTHLY.
Remember, you get paid 2% extra if you decide to receive interest in NEXO and not in-kind (same asset, so BTC to BTC for instance). This bonus is not available for US customers.
Assuming you have $25,000 of BTC in your Savings Wallet on NEXO, you would accumulate 3% per year if you do not hold any Nexo as well. 4% if you hold at least $2,500 of Nexo in your account.
And additionally 2% more if you choose to receive the interest in Nexo and not BTC, so then it would be 5 or 6%, but this is not available for US customers.
Finally, you can earn another 1% on top of that if you lock up your BTC in a fixed term.
This example is for BTC, at the time of writing. Other assets, including stablecoins, have different rates.
Just like pretty much everything in this world, interest is shown PER YEAR. This means, you get 6% per year, not per day. ANY company, regardless if it’s crypto or not, that tells you you can even make 1% back per day, is a ponzi / scam (unsustainable business).
The daily interest rate you receive for the like-kind reward already takes into account the fact it compounds to end with the stated annual interest rate. The interest rate you see for like-kind reward only is achieved if you keep it for 365 days. If you keep it for a lesser time, you actually get a lower interest rate.
You do not get interest on NEXO token assets you hold in NEXO. Instead, you get dividends. Nexo give out 30% of their profits back to their customers that hold nexo tokens. Read this article (https://medium.com/nexo/nexo-dividends-explained-6636804db3a) for more information.
Edit: This question is no longer relevant. Nexo tokens now earn daily interest as dividends were voted out after the governance vote.
NO, it’s not necessary! Unlike, CDC (Crypto.com) where you need to lock in assets to actually get a good rate, you do not need to lock in your assets with Nexo, you can withdraw them at any time. In Nexo, you CAN set up fixed terms/locking up for an additional % on Crypto and FIAT assets, Stablecoins get max interest without the need for locking them in fixed terms.
Any assets in your Credit wallet do not get any interest, so you can not borrow 0.5BTC with 1BTC as collateral and make interest on the 1BTC at the same time. The only asset that makes % while being in the Credit wallet is Nexo tokens, where you get daily interest of <s>7%</s> 4% regardless of which wallet the tokens are in.
Currently, you can not manually unlock terms via the app. You can contact support and they might be able to close the term but you lose all accrued interest, but this only happens on certain occasions and only once per account. Furthermore, you can enable the new Unlock Fixed Terms option in your settings if you have an active loan on Nexo, this will allow the Oracle/System to unlock the fixed term automatically if your loan health drops to liquidation levels (to prevent liquidation!).
They are going to have different terms, but right now they will have 1/3, and 6/12/18 months rolling out soon. No plans to let user decide how many months they want to lock their assets up.
Currently, you can create up to 10 fixed terms per asset.
On the 6th April 2021, Nexo announced they entered Beta-testing for USD integration.
Testing should be done & dusted in no time, so expect USD top-ups, credit line repayments & exchange pairs really soon!
Update: USD earning is now enabled.
Nexo’s rates are determined by market forces – supply and demand. They are not a greedy bunch, They go as high as They possibly can, but They want to generate yields on their platform sustainably. Nexo does not burn venture capital funds to offer attractive yields for user acquisition. Instead, They offer yields that are sustainable given the current market conditions and forces. While Nexo’s rates have been quite stable over the last few years, they are never guaranteed and can change depending on the current market.

If the collateral assets decrease in value significantly, the client will be warned to add more collateral.
The client will be notified, and partial automatic loan repayments will only start after the Loan-to-Value increases to 83.3%.
Example:
If the loan amount is 5 000 USD then the partial automatic loan repayment will be initiated only when the value of your collateral decreases to less than 6 000 USD.
Loan amount: 5000 USD;
Value of collateral: 6000 USD;
Loan-to-Value = ($5000/$6000)*100% = 83.33%
The total value of your crypto assets and the minimum amount which will trigger the automatic loan repayments can be seen at any time below of all your crypto positions in your Nexo account.
The client will receive a minimum of three notifications (via SMS and email) before that. This will happen when the Loan-to-Value increases to 71.4%, 74,1%, 76.9%. The client will be prompted to deposit more crypto assets into their Nexo account to prevent partial automatic loan repayments.
Please note that the Nexo blockchain oracle will not sell all crypto assets at once. Sell orders are executed in small increments only as much as to rebalance the Loan-to-Value back within the limits. Sell market orders are made at the market price on leading cryptocurrency exchanges. The transaction is performed through API on some of the major exchanges (i.e. Bitstamp, Kraken etc.). The funds received back from the exchange, minus the exchange’s fees will be instantly applied towards your outstanding loan balancе.
The table below illustrates how the Loan-to-Value changes when a repayment is made – based on the percentage of sold collateral (the price of crypto assets is constant):
Important: The notifications are sent for informational purposes. It is the client’s responsibility to keep track of their account standings and deposit more crypto assets or repay a part of the loan to prevent the initiation of partial automatic loan repayments.
You are free to allocate the funds from your Nexo Loan towards your specific needs or financial goals.

That is why we serve both small and large requests so that our clients can pay for day-to-day expenses or take advantage of a good investment opportunity.
Since the minimum loan amount is $50 in stablecoins and $500 in fiat currency and the maximum is $2,000,000, it is clear that you can cover a wide range of costs and/or purchases. You can also use your Nexo Loan for crypto investments by using Tether (USDT) or UCD Coin (USDC) for withdrawals.
Please keep in mind that the interest applied to your loans is compound interest i.e. it is calculated based on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest.

We do not accept bank transfers from third parties, and making such can result in delays. Processing time is up to 24 hours after receipt of funds.

If not repaid, the loan is automatically extended for another 12-month term. The number of extensions under the preceding sentence shall be unlimited. The period re-starts every time you withdraw funds from your Credit Line.
There are no penalty fees for early repayments. However, please note that for loans repaid within 30 days of the last withdrawal, you will be charged interest at the standard APR of 13.9% for the full 30 days, regardless of your current loyalty level. This is in order to prevent improper use of the Nexo Platform and to safeguard Nexo as a company, but more importantly, our clients and investors.
If you consider that your crypto asset has met its price target, you can repay your outstanding balance partially or in full by placing an order with the Nexo blockchain oracle to sell a fraction of the assets stored in your account. Sell market orders are made at market price on leading cryptocurrency exchanges. The funds received back from the exchange will be instantly applied towards your outstanding loan balancе.
You will receive automated reminders asking you to deposit more collateral or to repay part of your loan before any partial automatic loan repayments, giving you plenty of time to react.
Please keep in mind that the interest applied to your loans is compound interest i.e. it is calculated based on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest.
No, there are no prepayment, origination or instalment fees.

There are no instalment payments. You can make repayments at any time. Interest is added to your outstanding balance daily at 00:00 CET.
Important: Please note that loans repaid in less than 30 days are charged interest for the remainder of the 30-day period at the standard APR of 13.9% regardless of your loyalty tier. This is in order to prevent improper use of the Nexo Platform and to safeguard Nexo as a company, but more importantly, our clients and investors.
This information is also available on the Credit Line Repayment screen as seen in the sample screenshot below:
The interest rate depends on your Loyalty Tier which is determined by the ratio between the value of your NEXO Tokens and the total value of your portfolio. Based on the Nexo-to-Portfolio ratio you will be placed in one of our four Loyalty Tiers:

You can withdraw as many times as you like from your Credit Line as long as you maintain the Loan-to-Value ratio, and you have enough collateral assets in your Nexo account.
Please keep in mind that upon requesting a new loan crypto assets may be automatically transferred from Savings wallet to Credit Line wallet if there is not enough collateral in the Credit Line wallet to support the loan.
Similarly, you can make repayments at any time and, thus, increase the available loan limit in your account.

Our Nexo Crypto Credit General Terms and Conditions state the following in the point IV.4:
Unless prohibited by any Applicable Law, by virtue of this Agreement Nexo acquires the ownership of the Collateral while the Nexo Crypto Credit is outstanding.
If the value of the assets increases and the client believes that their crypto-asset has met their price target, they can place an order with the Nexo blockchain oracle to sell a fraction of the crypto assets stored in their account and repay part or all of their outstanding balance. The transaction is performed through API on some of the major exchanges (i.e. Bitstamp, Kraken, etc.) without any additional fees besides the exchange’s fees.
An increase in the value of the collateral assets also allows the client to withdraw more from their Credit Line.
If the assets decrease significantly in value and you do not contribute additional assets to your Nexo account after receiving warnings from the Nexo blockchain oracle, the Nexo blockchain oracle may initiate partial automatic loan repayments to rebalance the Loan-to-Value back within limits.
The total value of your crypto assets and the minimum amount, which will trigger the small automatic loan repayments can be seen at any time below all your crypto positions on your Nexo account.
As a reputable provider of digital assets services, Nexo is committed to the safety and security of our clients’ assets and information.
We are still assessing the implications of the Common Reporting Standards to our business and, for the time being, we do not believe to be required to disclose any information about transactions to the IRS or other tax authorities, which remains our customers’ sole responsibility.

You should also know that:
As long as you maintain a balanced Loan-to-Value ratio or have an “Available Funds from Credit Line” with Nexo, you don’t need to make any repayments. However, if the assets decrease significantly in value, you will receive a warning, stating that you should either deposit more crypto assets to your Nexo account or repay part of your loan to prevent partial automatic loan repayments.
If a borrower does neither of the above, the Nexo blockchain oracle will initiate a partial automatic loan repayment process by selling portions of the deposited crypto assets in order to rebalance the Loan-to-Value ratio.
Sell market orders are made at the market price on leading cryptocurrency exchanges. The funds received back from the exchange will be instantly applied towards your outstanding loan balancе.

Nexo’s conservative business model requires an over-collateralization of 111%-666% for all Instant Crypto Credit Lines.
Click here to find out more about our Security and Insurance.
Although the Nexo loan may seem similar to a term loan since it’s collateralized by an asset (cryptocurrency in our case), they are not the same. Usually, a term loan has fixed monthly or quarterly instalment payments. With the Nexo loan, you can manage your repayments the way you like, including repaying early without penalty fees or not repaying until the collateral crypto-asset meets your target price.
The Nexo loan has a fixed Annual Percentage Rate (APR), which starts at 6.9% when at least 10% of the value of your portfolio balance (crypto, stablecoins and FiatX) is in NEXO Tokens. In other words, you are in the Platinium tier of our Loyalty Program.
The Annual Percentage Rate when not utilizing NEXO Tokens is 13.9%.
Important: Please note that loans repaid in less than 30 days are charged interest for the remainder of the 30-day period at the standard APR of 13.9% regardless of your loyalty tier. This is in order to prevent improper use of the Nexo Platform and to safeguard Nexo as a company, but more importantly, our clients and investors.

Please keep in mind that the interest applied to your loans is compound interest i.e. it is calculated based on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest.
You can take a loan in more than 40+ Fiat currencies and receive the funds within the same/next day by local bank transfer.

Support for other major altcoins is coming later in 2022. If you wish to see your favourite altcoin added among the collateral options, you can make a vote within its community or ask the team of the particular project to fill out our application form. We are very particular about who we work with and give priority to projects with integrity and a significant impact on the ecosystem as a whole.
IMPORTANT! Please make sure to only transfer supported crypto assets over the respective Blockchain network supported by Nexo. Тransferring unsupported assets to your Nexo account will result in permanent loss.
The Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio is a financial term used by lenders to express the ratio of a loan to the value of the collateral. Otherwise said, the measurement of the balance of the loan relative to the value of the collateral asset is represented as Loan-to-Value (LTV).
Traditional lenders (e.g. banks) use your credit score, as reported by third-party credit agencies, to determine your creditworthiness. The higher your credit score, the lower the risk for the lender. To remove the credit score from the equation you can apply for an asset-backed loan like the one offered by Nexo.
LTV is calculated as the loan amount in USD divided by the value of the collateral in USD, expressed as a percentage.
Example:
Loan amount: 5.000 USD;
Value of collateral: 10.000 USD;
Loan-to-Value = ($5.000/$10.000)*100 = 50.0%
How Loan-to-Value fluctuates and what it means for you?
As the value of the collateral goes down, the Loan-to-Value goes up. In the case of a crypto asset-backed loan, the value of Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Bitcoincash, etc. is trending down.
Monitoring your account is very important during market drops. If the price of the crypto asset falls too low, the Loan-to-Value will continue to increase and the Nexo blockchain oracle will automatically request, via SMS and email, that you repay your loan or add extra collateral in your Credit Line Wallet.
Unless you do so as prompted, there is a threshold where assets from the Savings Wallet (if any) will be automatically moved to your Credit Line Wallet and if they are insufficient to cover the required Loan-to-Value, the collateralized asset will start being sold by the fully automated Nexo blockchain oracle to pay back part of the loan in order to rebalance the Loan-to-Value. This threshold at Nexo is set at 83.3%.
Before that happens you will be notified via SMS and email.
Example:
Loan amount: 5000 USD;
Value of collateral: 6 000 USD;
Loan-to-Value = ($5000/$6000)*100 = 83.3%
As a borrower, you always have the option to transfer more collateral at any time.
To summarize:
The price of crypto assets fluctuates strongly – it can move up or down. When the price moves up, the Loan-to-Value goes down. When the price moves down, the Loan-to-Value goes up.
Below you can find the minimum repayment limits for Nexo’s loan repayment options:
Important:
Repayments with Terra Classic (LUNC) are temporarily paused.
Please note that loans repaid in less than 30 days are charged interest for the remainder of the 30-day period at the standard APR of 13.9% regardless of your loyalty tier. This is in order to prevent improper use of the Nexo Platform and to safeguard Nexo as a company, but more importantly, our clients and investors.
This information is also available on the Credit Line Repayment screen as seen in the sample screenshot below:
You can make loan repayments at any time with any amount over the minimum repayment limit for the assets supported by our platform. For the minimum requirements for crypto and FiatX, please click here. Currently, you can repay your loan partially or in full using the following currencies:
– FiatX: USDx, EURx, GBPx

In order to start the repayment process please login to your Nexo account and click on the “Repay” button as seen on the screenshot below:
Then, choose one of the available options from the drop-down menu:
Note: Please be advised that loans repaid in less than 30 days are charged interest for the remainder of the 30-day period at the standard APR of 13.9% regardless of your loyalty tier. This is in order to prevent improper use of the Nexo Platform and to safeguard Nexo as a company, but more importantly, our clients and investors.
This information is also available on the Credit Line Repayment screen as seen in the sample screenshot below:
Example:
If you are repaying a loan 20 days after you took it, you will be charged the additional interest for the remaining 10 days out of the 30-day period (30 – 20 = 10) at 13.9%.
Please keep in mind that the interest applied to your loans is compound interest i.e. it is calculated based on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest.
To allow for a broader and vast utilisation that meets the dynamic demands of the crypto space, we offer our Borrow product not only in 40+ fiat currencies but in stablecoins as well – USDT, USDC and BUSD. It is important to note that, unlike fiat loans, loan withdrawals in stablecoins will be automatically placed into your Nexo wallet. The respective balance will be immediately updated, and you will then be able to either convert the assets on our exchange or withdraw them to an external wallet. Keep in mind that the number of free withdrawals depends on our loyalty tier, as explained in this article.
Tip: BUSD transfers over the Binance Smart Chain network are Fee-free and do not count towards the number of free withdrawals applicable to your loyalty tier. The same applies to USDT withdrawals over Polygon.
Taking out a loan from Nexo is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is log into your account, locate the Borrow section on the main page and follow the easy and intuitive steps:
1. Pick one of the three available stablecoin currencies.
2. Type in the amount you would like to borrow and choose whether you would like to opt for a Zero-Cost loan. Keep in mind that the Zero-Cost toggle will be turned off by default. Enabling it will indicate the system to lock up sufficient collateral so your Credit Line wallet LTV afterwards is below the 20% threshold.
3. Please also keep in mind that you need to agree to the Nexo Crypto Credit General Terms and Conditions in order to submit your loan withdrawal request.
4. Once you have agreed to the terms, the ‘Withdraw’ button will become active and you will be free to proceed by clicking on it.
5. After that, you will be prompted to confirm your loan withdrawal via the Two-Factor Authentication code that is usually delivered to your mobile device by SMS or through an authentication app.
6. Congratulations! You have successfully taken out a loan in a stablecoin, and your USDT, USDC or BUSD balance on your Nexo account has been updated automatically to reflect the new amount.
You should also know that:
With the Unlock Fixed Terms Opt-in Nexo gives you another option to secure your open credit line. Should your Loan-to-Value (LTV) reach 83.3% and the assets in your Flex terms have already been transferred out of the Savings wallet, the system will go on to unlock your Fixed-term/s and transfer the original amount of locked assets to the Credit Line wallet thus preventing automatic repayments.
1. Log on to your Nexo account and click on ‘My Profile’ > ‘Settings’
2. Click ‘Enable’ under ‘Unlock Fixed Terms’
1. Open the app and tap on ‘More’ > ‘Settings
2. Tap on the toggle button next to ‘Unlock Fixed terms’
If you have multiple Fixed terms of various sizes, the prioritization is aimed at reducing the loss of interest in your account.
Important:
Nexo Earn Product is not available for citizens or residents of certain jurisdictions, including where restrictions may apply, such as Bulgaria, Estonia and the USA
We are excited to announce the launch of Nexo’s Zero-Cost Credit Lines. Effective Dec 2, 2021 clients in the Platinum and Gold loyalty tiers can enjoy borrowing rates from as low as 0%-1.9% as long as their Loan-to-Value ratio in their Credit Line wallet is below 20% (e.g. a $2,000 loan against $10,000 worth of collateral). Wonder how it works? Here are the key points:
For the Base and Silver loyalty tiers borrowing rates remain the same. The Gold and Platinum tiers, however, are where the magic happens. Check it out:
Platinum
Gold
You can use the entire lineup of supported cryptocurrencies to benefit from the 0% to 1.9% borrow rates.
Tip: For assets like the NEXO Token, where the permitted LTV is already below the 20% threshold, clients will automatically get our 0% or 1.9% borrowing rates for the Platinum and Gold Loyalty tiers.
The Zero-Cost Credit Lines is not a promotion but a permanent fixture on the platform.
Our Instant Crypto Credit Lines™ are extremely flexible and you can go back and forth between our zero-cost credit and our standard rates.
For example, if you’re in the Gold or Platinum tiers and you’re using Bitcoin as collateral and initially take out a smaller loan that keeps your LTV under 20%, you’ll accrue interest at 0% or 1.9%. Then you decide to take out more credit against the same amount of BTC raising your LTV above 20% (remember you can take out a loan of up 50% of the value of your BTC on Nexo), you’ll be charged our normal interest of 6.9% or above depending on your Loyalty tier.
The reverse also works. If you take out a larger amount of credit initially and then either add more collateral or repay part of your credit line to get your LTV under 20%, you’ll be moved from our regular Platinum and Gold rates to the new zero-cost options.
Loan withdrawal limits
You can borrow from as little as $50 to as much as $2M.
Also, have in mind the toggle will not show up if you have entered a withdrawal amount that will bring your LTV above 20% even when using all the assets in your account as collateral.
In order to benefit from 0% or 1.9% APR when making purchases with the Nexo Card, you can enable the “Purchase with 0% APR” option from the Card Settings menu inside the Card tab on the mobile app. Once enabled, we’ll automatically transfer just enough collateral to your Credit Line wallet to keep your LTV below 20% – provided you have enough assets in your account.
If you already have an open credit line before December 2 and were accruing interest at our standard rates – 6.9% for Platinum and 8.9% for Gold users – your borrowing rates will automatically be lowered if the LTV in your Credit Wallet is under 20%.
Hint: If you have already borrowed at a higher LTV, you can always add a little extra collateral to your Credit Line Wallet to get our low-cost and zero-cost rates.
It is important to note that Zero-Cost Credit Lines take into account only the assets held in your Credit Line wallet. Thus, to calculate your LTV you need to divide your outstanding loan by the overall dollar value of your Credit Line wallet. Here are the steps:
(Scroll down to the bottom of your account page and mouse over ‘Estimated Total Value of Crypto’)
If the Credit Line wallet LTV exceeds 50%, you will be prompted to bring it under 20% by transferring additional assets from your Savings wallet.
In case the assets in your Savings wallet are not sufficient to bring the Credit Line wallet LTV under 20% , you will be prompted to top-up more crypto:
Important: Please note that loans repaid in less than 30 days are charged interest for the remainder of the 30-day period at the standard APR of 13.9% regardless of your loyalty tier. This is in order to prevent improper use of the Nexo Platform and to safeguard Nexo as a company, but more importantly, our clients and investors.
This information is also available on the Credit Line Repayment screen as seen in the sample screenshot below:
Example:
If you are repaying a loan 20 days after you took it, you will be charged additional interest for the remaining 10 days out of the 30-day period (30 – 20 = 10) at 13.9%.
Any assets in your Credit wallet do not get any interest, so you can not borrow 0.5BTC with 1BTC as collateral and make interest on the 1BTC at the same time. The only asset that makes % while being in the Credit wallet is Nexo tokens, where you get daily interest of <s>7%</s> 4% regardless of which wallet the tokens are in.
Collateral is crypto assets you would put up for a loan (if you don’t repay they will sell it to cover the default). You do not earn interest on crypto that you use as collateral, although Nexo tokens are an exception to this, they continue to earn interest while being in your Credit Wallet (collateral). If you are not borrowing from Nexo then your funds are held in a “savings wallet” where it can earn interest until it is either moved off the platform or used as collateral on a loan.
A Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio is an indicator representing the size of a loan compared to the value of the assets securing the loan.
The Loan-to-Value percentages of each asset are dynamically determined by the Nexo blockchain oracle algorithms, depending on the current and historical volatility and market liquidity of the asset.
All loans taken out have a minimum of 30 days interest, this means, if you decide to close/repay your loan before the first month is up, you are paying the entire month in full.
That is why it is advised to just keep the loan active regardless if you initially wanted to pay within let’s say, 7 days, because you’d be losing “assets”.
As for how long a loan can be active for, there is no minimum. After 1 year, the “contract” automatically renews. You can repay/close the loan at any time.
No! There are no uncollateralized loans in Nexo, this is what differentiates them to mostly everybody, definitely the more known competitors of Nexo. Nexo does not engaged in un-collateralized loans and do not plan to do them in the near future.
The portfolio booster is used by a very small % of clients, very very large clients, ultra high net worth individuals and institutions. There is more than 100% collateral, it’s just a matter of the execution, where Nexo buys the client something. It has nothing to do with uncollateralized lending at all.
That’s the point, having collateral so they don’t have to do credit ratings, etc.
Nothing, it just adds to your existing loan. Please be aware THIS RESETS YOUR 30 DAY MINIMUM LOAN FOR THE WHOLE LOAN AMOUNT. For example, if you took out a loan for $5000 2 months ago, but took out $500 more yesterday, if you try to pay back today, you’ll be paying 29 days interest on a loan of $5000, not just the $500. It’s important you keep this in mind.
We do not know, it is decided by the Nexo system automatically. There is no option to decide which assets to move first, at this moment in time.
In case of a decrease of your collateral asset value, a warning would be sent to the client that they should deposit more crypto assets to their Nexo Wallet to prevent liquidation. Please note Nexo will not liquidate all crypto assets at once – liquidations are made in small increments only as much as to rebalance the Loan-to-Value back within the limits.
You will receive a total of 3 notifications before any automatic repayments occur and each notification is sent both by email and by SMS to the email and mobile phone number associated with your Nexo account. Unlike margin brokers, Nexo do not have any interest to see your asset being automatically sold to repay the loan, in fact – quite the opposite, Nexo make money only when you have an active loan with them.
You are not required to post any margin after receiving these notifications, they are more like reminders that if your assets drop further, partial or full automatic repayment can occur.
As you know, unlike traditional financial markets, the crypto market never closes, thus Nexo cannot postpone automatic partial repayments as the outstanding balance will be less than the collateral and the borrower will have zero motivation to repay the difference.
You can repay your loan in a currency of your choosing. It doesn’t have to be paid back in the same currency you withdrew. For example, if you withdraw Tether against Bitcoin as collateral, your repayment doesn’t have to be in Tether, you can pay off your credit with a bunch of different assets. You can also sell off a portion of your collateral to repay your loan. Thirdly, you can do nothing and if there is a larger correction, the platform will liquidate the necessary amount of collateral automatically.
Everything with Nexo is dynamic. There is no loan maturity in the traditional sense, we have to have maturity dates in the terms and conditions because of various compliance requirements, but the loans get extended automatically upon maturity unless you pay them off. If you never fall below the required LTV for your particular asset class, you don’t need to take any action, you will simply continue accruing interest on your credit until you decide to repay it.
If you want to take a loan against stablecoins, you will have to cover at least 50% of your loan using other crypto assets as collateral (BTC, ETH, etc.).
On June the 3rd, 2021, Nexo added the ability to swap collateral.

As Nexo is a fully regulated digital assets institution in all of the 200+ jurisdictions of its operation, the company is required to work under a business regulation known as KYC (Know Your Customer).
A KYC check is simply the act of us verifying the identity of our clients and is a measure against money laundering, fraud and corruption. Conducting KYC checks enables us to run smoothly without any problems with our banking/financial partners, and is also performed for your own safety – providing an added security layer and preventing unauthorized persons from claiming your tokens.
Nexo’s products are only available after verifying your identity. Once your account has been verified, you will be able to unlock all of the platform’s features:
The verification process is quick, intuitive, and in order to make it as seamless as possible, we have partnered with the leading identity verification provider – Jumio. You can find more information on the matter in our dedicated article.
What do you do with the personal information from a KYC check?

As an ISO 27001-certified entity, Nexo has stringent procedures in place to ensure the confidentiality of clients’ data.
Nexo’s termination policy:
Where a client relationship has to be terminated, Nexo will notify the affected account holders prior to suspending and discontinuing services, so as to guarantee the safety of the clients’ funds and allow them to close out existing loans and to subsequently withdraw all remaining funds to an address of their choosing unless we are prohibited by any applicable law or a court order to do so, including but not limited to the case that we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the funds were obtained through fraud or any unlawful means or connected with any criminal activities.
As part of our ongoing commitment to meeting our regulatory obligations, there are cases when we are required to collect more information and supporting documentation regarding our clients’ Source of Wealth and the Source of Funds/Assets, which they may have or intend to top up with us. In some cases, we might need to suspend certain operations of your account until the check is completed. We hope that the below information answers your questions on this review process and will facilitate faster and more efficient communication between you and us and hence shorter review completion.
Source of Wealth describes the origin of your accumulated wealth or total net worth (i.e. how you obtained your funds/assets). SoW does not refer to the location of the funds (e.g. a bank account), but instead to the activity or the reason, which lets you accumulate those funds. For example, SoW could be the sale of real estate property, or in many cases, it could be employment income accumulated over past periods.
Source of Funds is the source of the initial and ongoing funds used for your business transactions with Nexo. For example, the SOF you used to top up your Nexo account could be your employment income.
Note: In some cases, your SoW and SOF could be the same. For example, you have accumulated your SoW from your employment income over the years and your SOF for the specific top-up with Nexo is your current paycheck. In those cases, the supporting documents you provide should prove both SoW and SOF.
Source of Crypto refers to when and where you have acquired your crypto asset(s).
Below is a non-exhaustive list of acceptable documents:
Fiat Source of Wealth and Source of Funds Supporting Documents for Individuals
We will notify you via email if we require any information regarding your funds/assets. The email will contain detailed instructions on how to send us your documentation. When responding to our request, please make sure you do so from the email address registered with your Nexo account in order to ensure a more efficient service.
All personal information sent to Nexo is kept strictly confidential. More information on our privacy policy is available here.

At Nexo, we have strict security policies in place to keep your cryptocurrency and your information safe. As a part of our security practices, we also ask our clients to take a series of precautions to ensure that no one else has access to their account.
Understanding how to identify scams and attacks is crucial to protecting your accounts and funds, especially since cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. To make it easier for you to spot hack attempts, we’ve explained some of the most common methods that scammers may use to gain access to your account and make unauthorized transactions.
We hope the information below will be useful to you.
Account takeovers
Since Nexo’s most important communication channel is email, clients’ email addresses can be a target for account takeovers. If someone gains unauthorized control over your email, they could potentially gain access to your Nexo account. It is vital that you have good security for your email; this includes a strong password, security questions, and 2FA.
Phishing
Phishing attacks attempt to trick you into revealing your account username, password, or other personal information. This kind of scam can take several forms, below are a few examples:
Nexo will never call, email, or SMS/instant message you proactively and ask you for your username or password. If anyone contacts you personally claiming to be from Nexo and asks for sensitive information, do not reply and report them to our support team. Our support team is available 24/7 so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Malware
This kind of account hack is done through software. Scammers gain access to your devices through complex programs that allow them to take control of your devices and steal your passwords or other sensitive information you may have saved on them.
Identity theft
This is when someone impersonates you after gaining access to enough of your personal information. Ill-actors will then attempt to open an account in your name and/or make unauthorized transactions. Identity theft most often occurs when your documents, like an ID card, passport, or driver’s license, get stolen. Note that documents don’t always need to be physically stolen, scammers can also steal your ID information through phishing or theft of personal devices like phones or computers.
To wrap up this article we’ve prepared some tips to help you keep your crypto secure:
Nexo cannot be held responsible for a loss of funds if you fall prey to a scam as stated in our Wallet Terms & Conditions. Regardless we will do everything in our power to help prevent such situations and assist you in securing your account.
You undertake to оbtain all necessary hardware, as well as to install all necessary software, including security and antivirus, for your use of the Nexo Wallet Services in accordance with these General Terms. You are solely responsible for keeping your device safe and maintaining adequate security and control of your username, password and shall be solely responsible for any access to and use of the Nexo Wallet Services through your device, regardless of whether such access may have been made without your knowledge, authority or consent. We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage resulting from such use. In case your device has been lost or stolen or has been accessed or used in an unauthorized manner, you shall notify Nexo of this and if the device has been accessed or used in an unauthorized manner, you shall, as soon as possible, reset the password.
Nexo strives to build and maintain strong relationships with our customers, which is why we take our clients’ comments, suggestions and concerns seriously. We look at clients’ feedback and complaints as means to improve our services and products and to enhance our clients’ overall experience at Nexo.
In the unlikely event that our clients are dissatisfied with the service provided by Nexo, they have the right to express their discontent by submitting their complaints directly to us.
Please follow those few simple steps:
Nexo has the right to refrain from reviewing a complaint or not classify it as such in circumstances including but not limited to:
Two-factor authentication is an extra step added to the login process. It’s a mechanism to doble-check your identity is legitimate and prevent unauthorized access to your account. The first factor is something you know, like your credentials (username and password), and the second factor is something you have, such as your mobile phone.
When you want to sign into your Nexo account, and you are prompted to authenticate with username and a password – that’s the first verification level. Two-factor authentication works as an extra security layer that will re-confirm your identity. Its purpose is to make attacker’s life harder and to significantly reduce the risk of losing your assets by securing your Nexo account with an additional layer of authentication.
Enabling 2FA is a simple step that can massively reduce the likelihood you will be the next victim of cybercrime. You should use 2FA whenever possible, especially when it comes to your sensitive data.
Improved Security: Defend your account from cyber threats. Majority of the hacking attacks are successful due to weak or stolen passwords. 2FA makes sure even if your account gets compromised, the hacker must overcome another security layer before they can access your account.
Two-factor authentication is an essential defense layer. Switch it on to secure your Nexo account if still not activated.
While Nexo was officially the first Crypto-backed lender in the market, there are now quite a few alternatives.
While many do not recommend “keeping all your eggs in one basket”, Nexo has proven time after time that they have solid business practices and are here to stay.
Update July 2022: I have been warning users about Celsius for years, and the recent bankruptcy declaration from Celsius is no surprise to me or many others who warned of the many red flags they had over the years. Here is the full text I wrote years ago:
—
While it is my opinion, I would HIGHLY advise against using Celsius. Here are a few reasons why CEL is not trustworthy:
No automatic liquidations. If the crypto market tanks, they are royally f’d. Nobody will pay back their loans. Collateral will be worthless (at that moment in time in the market).
Offering OTC discount with only 30 days lockup period. Selling stock at a discount is illegal for a reason. But we are dealing with crypto, okay, it’s different. But imagine this. Tesla tells you, buy shares at 10% discount. You can sell them next month for normal price. How is that sustainable? It’s not! They are desperate for cash.
Cel refuse to contact cointracking sites to update their market cap. (It’s approx 1-2B wrong, less, on most if not all tracking sites). Why won’t they do it? Because people would see how overvalued their token is at this moment in time.
A CEO that constantly talks shit about other companies like a 12 year old on twitter, great sign.
2B “Reserves” they claim to have (also as “insurance”) a large portion is in CEL TOKENS. Good luck selling them when cel token dumps…
Take the recent minimum loan withdrawal increase that Nexo implemented a few weeks back. 5k for stablecoins and $500 for fiat. Gas fees are crazy so it makes sense. What did CEL do? They kept stablecoin minimum the same, but increased FIAT withdrawals to $10k.. Does that make any sense to you?? If that doesn’t prove that they don’t have cash (USD, EUR, GPB) then I don’t know how else to put it to you.
They lost $34m in their last yearly financial report. They had to sell equity lat year to raise money to stay afloat. Source, official UK government company information: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/11198050/filing-history/MzI5MjgyOTQwM2FkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0
You must take into account that you have TWO wallets per asset within the Nexo platform. One for SAVINGS, which will give you interest on any assets you hold in it, and one for CREDIT which is basically your collateral, which you use for taking out crypto-backed loans.
Usually around 6:00AM UTC, daily!
Antoni (Nexo’s Director) has in numerous occasions stated that the tokenholders will be taken care of if they ever go public, which is not something they plan on doing anytime soon anyway.
Nexo was relocating to London, but due to COVID they have postponed the move. Large part of team works remotely, most in Bulgaria. Current head office is Sofia, Bulgaria.
Not currently, but coming soon.
NO! The rates will not drop after getting a bank license. At least for the foreseeable future. As long as it makes economic sense for Nexo as a company. Also protecting your interests.
Rates are not randomly selected. Market forces that are playing out and determining the rates. Antoni doesn’t view the bank license affecting the rates.
Rates should not have a great impact within the next 3 years.
As for insurance, can not go into details right now. In general, banking license would have a very very good effect on insurance.
Banking license will also let them advertise or bring in new customers who are not knowledgeable of the crypto-space.
We, as a team, have not sold our tokens. We haven’t even touched them despite the sensational rise in our token’s value, they haven’t been moved from the smart contract – this is publicly visible. I think that speaks volumes about our conviction in our company’s success. We don’t need to sell them and we don’t intend to sell them in the future.
We are in a position to finance our business through different mechanisms that allow us to grow the enterprise organically. It’s no secret that in the token terms we have company tokens that are meant as strategic reserves, but with the current dynamics of the business and the markets, we don’t need to use them.
If we were to go public, we are very aware that we have responsibilities to the NEXO Token holders and we will definitely take care of them should we ever decide to take this important step with Nexo.
If we mean the NEXO Token here, then I see it at double digits in the next five to 10 years. I can’t say exactly how high it will go, but I think we have substantial potential. It all depends on market conditions. If Bitcoin were to go back down to $20,000, it would drag everything else down with it. I don’t see much chance of that happening, but it is a possibility.
As a company, I see us growing in a couple of directions. The space will grow, but what it means to be a blockchain company will also expand. So we’ll grow both because the space will grow and because the technology we work with will become more present in day-to-day life. I see us becoming more and more compliant because we will have our banking license. The team will also grow and that will yield more potential for the company. We’re close to 200 people now. It’s a growth story all around.
We haven’t slowed down on the “feature adding”. The team is still getting larger and larger which means we can engage in even more tasks and developments. This is Nexo’s main revenue driver so we’re never going to stop pushing ahead in terms of new features.
The investments we’ve made are in projects where we either don’t already have the expertise they have in a certain field or where we feel that another company is ahead of us. It makes sense to invest in such projects even just from a capital gains perspective. Despite the market downturn, in the last two months, we have seen $4 billion pour into crypto startups, so we want to be a part of that. It’s nothing gargantuan given Nexo’s total balance sheet. 95% of all startups fail so we are prepared for something like this when managing our own corporate funds. But we do feel that there are a lot of opportunities apart from the capital gains benefits, such as gaining access to certain products so that we can quickly bring certain services and offerings into production that might otherwise take us longer.
For Nexo users, this means that you get to enjoy products and services that come into fruition quicker.
Unlocking Fixed Terms defeats the purpose of locking assets, even if there is a small fee since Nexo relies on the liquidity in these locked accounts for our other products. But we will look into this going forward and see what we can do.
We do however have the Unlock Fixed Terms option. It’s a new feature that complements our Automatic Collateral Transfer. When switched on, it can automatically unlock your Fixed Term accounts if you have an open credit line and your LTV drops below the required percentage, thus protecting you from liquidations. For now, we have this feature and we are looking into further alternatives.
This is definitely a point focus due to BlockFi being under scrutiny in the United States, the continued Тether FUD, and even the crackdown against Binance. To briefly explain what’s going on: Now that crypto has grown to the size that it has, there will be regulatory interest. Now, this is something we at Nexo anticipated from the start and we’ve been actively engaging with regulators in different jurisdictions.
In general, sometimes regulators look into things – this doesn’t necessarily mean that something bad is happening or has been happening. It’s up to us as a community how we digest this news, and it’s up to the media how they wish to frame it. We have had inquiries by regulators at Nexo and so far all the cases have been closed with our services being found compliant to the regulators’ satisfaction.
As for the specific situation with BlockFi, our Earn product has a very similar offering to their interest-bearing accounts. I don’t have enough insight into exactly what their internal structure is and it may or may not be the same as ours. BlockFi themselves have stated that they believe the state regulators are wrong and that their offering does not represent a security – this is one of the allegations. It is still too early to know for sure what the crackdown on BlockFi means for Nexo since not enough of the details are public, but we will be on the lookout for what evidence BlockFi produces to counter the allegations against them and, since all our products are created and maintained in part by our expert legal teams, we will be responding to developments accordingly.
One thing in which Nexo differs from BlockFi and other competitors is that they have 80-90% of their business in the US. Whereas Nexo is based in Europe and we have a far more diverse global geographical presence. The US is a far smaller part of our business than it is for BlockFi. So regardless of what the watchdogs in the United States decide on a state and federal level, I think Nexo will be significantly less affected than our competitors who have the majority of their clients in the States.
Ultimately, we as entrepreneurs and founders of Nexo are happy that the regulators are paying attention to cryptocurrencies since we will finally have clearer rules for our industry.
This seems like a simple feature, but it’s quite complicated to make this happen on the backend. It’s very heavy on the platform, it’s very heavy accounting-wise and it’s very heavy in terms of generating yields sustainably. We don’t rely on future funding rounds to maintain our interest rates, we generate the yields through our business entirely. This concept also does not resonate well with most regulators so it’s a tricky feature to offer.
Either way, the Nexo team is looking into what the possibilities are and I will hopefully be able to update you on this in the future.
Yes this is a real email and standard procedure when an account gets flagged. One example could be using a card that has a different name than the one you used to register your account with. Don’t worry, it’s just standard security and safety practices. Either way, it should not take long to get it sorted out.
I recommend contacting support if you have doubts over the legitimacy of an email, you can contact Nexo here: Nexo Help Center
The Nexo Card is a natural extension of our Instant Crypto Credit Lines, allowing you to make everyday purchases on the go without having to sell your valuable crypto.
Put simply, Nexo gives you fiat you can spend and in return, you provide crypto as security for repayment – and all this is done in the background whenever you make a purchase with your card. You can buy anything you like with your card, just as you can with any other international card but at better terms.
As soon as you get your Nexo Card, you’ll start earning instant crypto rewards on every transaction, paid out in Bitcoin (up to 0.5% back) or NEXO Tokens (up to 2% back) – with the option to change your reward currency at any time, as often as you like.

Cards are usually shipped within 2 business days after placing an order. While most customers receive theirs within 7 business days after shipment, depending on the country, the delivery time might extend for up to 4 weeks.
If your card hasn’t arrived within a month after placing your order, we recommend waiting a few more days to see if it is delivered promptly. Usually, when a card is late in arriving, the reason is simply a delay in the delivery. This could be due to public holidays, issues with postal and courier services, weather conditions, etc.
If your Nexo Card still doesn’t arrive after that, please contact our Customer Support team.

The Nexo Card functions as a credit card and is tied to Nexo’s Instant Crypto Credit Lines. All purchases are deducted automatically from your Available Credit, using your digital assets as collateral for the loan. The borrow interest rate depends on your Loyalty tier, and you can make repayments at any time, without fixed instalments required.
Every time you make a purchase, the amount is added to your outstanding loan. Therefore, you just need to make a repayment the usual way – select the “Repay” button on the Account page or the Dashboard inside the Nexo app and choose your preferred repayment method. You can find more detailed instructions here.
Our standard policy of charging additional interest for repayments made within 30 days of the last loan withdrawal doesn’t apply to loans generated from the Nexo Card. This means that if you’ve only made purchases with the card without withdrawing from your credit line using the “Borrow” facility on the platform, no additional interest for the remainder of the 30 days will be accrued in case of early repayments.
If you have taken out a loan from the platform within the last 30 days, the Nexo Card purchases will not reset the 30-day period. However, keep in mind that the outstanding credit from spending with the Nexo Card will merge with your open credit line. Thus, if you are to repay your outstanding credit in full less than 30 days after your last loan withdrawal, the additional interest will be applied on the total amount being repaid, including the loan generated from the Nexo Card purchases.
Example:
You take out a $100 loan via the Borrow facility on Jan 1.
Afterwards, on Jan 10, you make a purchase with the Nexo Card that generates a loan of $200.
If you are to make a repayment for the total outstanding amount of $300 on Jan 25, the additional interest charge will be calculated on that same repayment amount – $300, but for 5 remaining days only since the Nexo Card purchase didn’t reset the 30-day period.
Assets may be automatically transferred from the Savings Wallet to the Credit Line Wallet if you don’t have enough collateral assets in the Credit Line Wallet to support the loan generated from the purchase.
If you would like to choose the crypto that will be used to back the loan before making the purchase, you can manually move the preferred assets to the Credit Line Wallet. Simply follow the steps in this article.
Whenever you make a purchase with the Nexo Card, the merchant has up to 45 days to claim the funds. This process usually takes no more than a few days, but until it happens, the card transaction will be pending in your Transactions tab, and the amount won’t be added to your outstanding loan. Тhis is why you might notice that the purchase has been deducted from your Available Credit, but the amount is not available for repayment yet.
Please note that during this time, the loan generated from the purchase will accumulate interest which will also be added to your outstanding loan once the card transaction is approved.
If the merchant doesn’t claim the funds within the 45-day period, the transaction will be rejected, and no loan or interest will be accrued.
The above also applies to the cashback following the purchase – your BTC or NEXO reward will be credited to the respective balance after the card transaction is approved.
The minimum cashback payout is $0.01 and amounts lower than that cannot be processed – so it might be that the value of your purchase generated a cashback that is less than $0.01.
With the ever-growing interest in the recently launched and unparalleled Nexo Card, naturally comes our desire to provide clients with the most innovative and up-to-date security solutions. That is why we recently introduced yet another neat feature of the Nexo Card – the ePIN.
The so-called ePIN is a new security standard requirement developed by the European Banking Authority (EBA). It is a 4-digit code you will need for online transactions in addition to the 3D Secure code you receive via SMS.
Note: The ePIN is different from the PIN code you use for validating payments made with your physical card and ATM withdrawals.
This new method will require you to set up an ePIN for all the existing cards and for each new card created. To do so, you can follow these simple steps:
1. First you need to go to the ‘Card’ section of the Nexo mobile app and open the ‘Card Settings’ menu.
2. Open the ‘ePIN section’.
3. Pick the card for which you would like to set your ePIN first. Keep in mind that it is mandatory that you set up ePIN for all your existing Nexo cards.
4. Set up your ePIN.
5. Click on ‘Confirm’.
6. You have successfully set your ePIN for the said card. In case you have both the virtual and physical Nexo Cards, you can now proceed with setting up the ePIN for your other existing one by clicking on the ‘Ok, great!’ button.
7. On the next screen, you will see that for the cards with an ePIN enabled, the latter will be visually noted within the interface.
Once the ePIN has been set up, you will be able to conduct online purchases with your Nexo Card. To do so, during the payment stage, you would first be prompted to enter your ePIN, as exhibited on the left side of the image down below. Afterwards, you will be asked to insert the regular 3D Secure code which you receive via SMS. The second step is displayed on the right side of the same photo.
As soon as both steps are complete, your online payment will be validated.
Getting cashback rewards with every purchase associates with the Nexo Card. However, the following Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) are ineligible for the cashback:
Used only to identify face-to-face transactions in which a cardholder their card at a financial institution to obtain a manual (over-the-counter) cash disbursement, to open or fund a deposit account, or to purchase traveller’s cheques, foreign currency, money orders, precious metals, or savings bonds.
Such merchandise and services may include checks and other financial products, promotional merchandise, loan fees, and financial counselling service fees. Included are also repayment of debts to banks, savings and loans, thrift shops and credit unions.
Such merchants are associated with financial institutions for the purchase of merchandise or services or the repayment of debts to banks, savings and loans, thrift shops and credit unions. For example, the purchase of cheques, other financial products or promotional merchandise, deposits, the funding of an account, the purchase or reload of a stored-value card, the purchase of foreign currency, non-fiat currency (for example, cryptocurrency), money orders (a negotiable paper-based remittance – not a money transfer), traveller’s cheques and loan fees or financial counselling service fees. This code may also be used for merchants involved in the repayment of a debt, loan or credit card balance by a cardholder to the financial institution.
This code is primarily used to identify Payment Transactions. A Payment Transaction allows Mastercard cardholders to transfer funds to a Mastercard account. This type of transaction does not reverse a previous Mastercard purchase and must be authorized by the issuer. Nevertheless, this MCC is also used for Brazilian domestic Coupon Booklet Payments (CARNE).
The placing of a wager, the purchase of a lottery ticket, spread betting, in-flight commerce gaming, or the purchase of chips or other value usable for gambling in conjunction with gambling activities provided by wagering or betting establishments such as casinos, race tracks, card parlours, airlines, and the like.
Examples of such merchants include mortgage brokers, research firms, financial planners, graphic designers, guest speakers and lecturers, court stenographers, real estate appraisers, research firms, and auction houses. Please note that charging your PayPal or Curve account, for instance, also falls under this category.
In this category fall merchants that provide general support services to the government such as personnel, auditing, procurement, and building management services. Examples include civil rights and civil service commissions, general government accounting offices, general services offices, government supply agencies, fire, and motor vehicle departments, and national, state, and city parks. This MCC may also be used to identify U.S. state lottery ticket sales by merchants
There are no official announcements yet, but all we know that is it currently in a private beta. A select few European (non UK) customers have been given cards to test the upcoming platform.
On April 13th 2022, Nexo released their Crypto Credit Card officially to the European market.
US and ROW customers will have to wait a little longer till they can get their hands on the Nexo card.
As of a recent update, the NEXO Card transactions DO NOT trigger a new 30 day period. Only new loans do through the borrow feature.
This means, if you use your NEXO Card, it will not reset the 30 day minimum interest repayment period for your active loan.
Also, as of the release of the card, using the card while you don’t have an active loan will not trigger the 30 day period either!
Once the transaction has been approved, it will add the amount to your outstanding balance which can then be paid off. Approval can take from a few minutes to hours (or days on rare occasions), depends on the establishment.
Whenever you make a purchase with the Nexo Card, the merchant has up to 45 days to claim the funds. Until this happens, the card transaction will be pending in your Transactions tab and the amount won’t be added to your outstanding loan. Тhis is why you might notice that the purchase has been deducted from your Available Credit, but the amount is not available for repayment yet.
Please note that during this time, the loan generated from the purchase will accumulate interest which will also be added to your outstanding loan once the card transaction is approved.
If the merchant doesn’t claim the funds within the 45-day period, the transaction will be rejected and no loan or interest will be accrued. The above applies to the cashback following the purchase – your BTC or NEXO reward will be credited to the respective balance after the card transaction is approved.
A few months back Nexo implemented some additional KYC steps in the verification process, and for that reason users who had completed KYC before these changes will need to quickly re-do it. These changes were made to comply with regulatory compliance for financial institutions.
For the time being, the Nexo Card is available to citizens and residents of the European Economic Area (EEA) only. To be eligible, you also need to pass Identity Verification and meet the following criteria:
Right now the NEXO Oracle decides which assets to move into collateral if needed on card usage, mainly moving the highest LTV assets available first. There are plans to add options/preferences in your settings in the future.
The Nexo Card allows holders to spend the value of their assets without selling them. It is available to our clients for simplicity and ease of use of the borrowed funds. You can buy anything you like with the funds in your card, just as you can with any other international card but at better terms.
The card will be linked directly to your credit limit and allow you to spend your funds on purchases without the need to withdraw funds to any bank account.
Due to anti-money laundering regulations, you can only use stablecoins to cover 50% of the collateral required for fiat credit. The other half of the required collateral must comprise crypto assets (e.g., BTC, ETH, etc.).
It is in the development pipeline, but I do not know any exact ETA or time-frame as to when we’ll see it go live.
Update: In a recent AMA Antoni announced that the team + family are beta-testing this!
Depending on your loyalty, they are:
Please note that if you have any pending purchases with the Nexo Card, the option to switch your cashback preference will be unavailable until they are completed.
Right now it’s only in USD. I know the tech team is aware of the request but I’m not sure of any ETA or release times for this feature. Considering the card itself can be in a different currency, I am sure the team will work on allowing loans to be as well in the near future.
If you’re using PayPal or Curve please make sure you’ve set the default currency to the matching one of your card, Nexo isn’t charging those currency conversion rates, the intermediary is.
Assets may be automatically transferred from the Savings Wallet to the Credit Line Wallet if you don’t have enough collateral assets in the Credit Line Wallet to support the loan generated from the purchase.
If you would like to choose the crypto that will be used to back the loan, before making the purchase you can manually move the preferred assets to the Credit Line Wallet. Simply follow the steps in this article https://support.nexo.io/hc/en-us/articles/360014340140.
When you pay for goods or services with your Nexo Card, but the purchased product does not meet your expectations, you might want to ask for a refund. Here are some of the most common reasons for that:
In order to request a full or partial refund for a pending or completed Nexo Card purchase, please contact the merchant (the company that you bought the product from) directly via email, phone or in person. Make sure to include the reference number of your order and/or other details, such as the date of the purchase, the description of items/services you paid for, a copy of the receipt, as well as the reason for the return.
Please note that refund policies may vary across different merchants and jurisdictions, depending on the type of item/service you bought, the vendor’s own Terms and Conditions, and other factors.
The processing time of refunds depends solely on the merchant (the company which sold you the goods). The refunded amount will be reflected in your Nexo account no later than 1 day after the merchant has processed the refund.
As soon as the refund is processed by the merchant, the returned amount will be subtracted from your Outstanding Loan, or in other words, will be reflected in your Available Credit.
If your Outstanding Loan is repaid by the time you receive the refund, you can spend the Available Credit on new purchases with your Nexo Card or withdraw these via the ‘Borrow’ button as long as it is above the minimum loan amount.
If your Outstanding Loan has not been repaid yet, the refunded amount will be deducted from it, thus reducing the amount you need to repay.
In order to log in to Nexo Pro, visit https://pro.nexo.io/ and click the ‘Log in with Nexo Account’ button. You will then be redirected to the Nexo Platform login page to enter your credentials and your 2FA code (if enabled). Once the correct details are entered, you will be transferred to your Nexo Pro account.
If you do not have a Nexo account yet, please choose ‘Create Account’ in the upper-right corner to get started. Alternatively, select ‘Log in with Nexo Account’, then click on ‘New Account’. For more information on how to register, please check this article from our Help Center.
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: Please note that completing Identity Verification is mandatory before you can access Nexo Pro.
In order to fund your Nexo Pro account, you will need to either top up assets to your Nexo Savings Wallet or use your existing Savings balance in your Nexo account. Once the assets are available in your Nexo Savings Wallet:
1) Open your Nexo Pro account.
2) Navigate to your ‘Dashboard’ tab, then click the ‘Top Up’ button in the top-right corner.
3) Select the asset you wish to transfer from your Savings Wallet.
4) Enter the amount and click ‘Top Up’.
Keep in mind that active Fixed Term balances cannot be transferred to your Nexo Pro account and will not appear on the ‘Top Up’ screen. Once the respective term has ended, the staked balance will become available for transfer to Nexo Pro, unless you have opted for ‘Automatic Renewal’.
Adding assets to your Nexo account can be accomplished by:
To withdraw assets from your Nexo Pro account:
1. Navigate to your ‘Dashboard’ tab and click ‘Withdraw’ in the top-right corner of the screen.
2. Select the asset you want to withdraw to your Savings Wallet.
3. Enter the amount and click ‘Withdraw’.
Keep in mind that it is not possible to make a direct withdrawal from your Nexo Pro account to an external crypto address or bank account. Instead, the selected assets will be moved to your Nexo Savings Wallet, from where they can be withdrawn. Please visit our Help Center to learn more about crypto and fiat withdrawals.
If you have acquired assets for which you do not have a wallet on the Nexo platform, you can always generate one by selecting the ‘Transfer’ button right next to the asset in question and then ‘Top Up’ from the dropdown menu. This would enable you to complete the transfer from Nexo Pro to your Nexo account.
Please note that all of the Outstanding Loan generated through Margin Trading has to be repaid before any assets can be withdrawn from Nexo Pro to the Nexo platform. Meanwhile, the assets that are In Orders can only be withdrawn after the respective order is either completed or canceled.
If I return my assets to the Nexo platform, will they continue earning interest?
Assets transferred from Nexo Pro to your Savings Wallet will continue earning high-yield interest, as long as the Earn Product is available in your jurisdiction. Please note that these assets will be subject to a 24-hour cool-off period.
Important: The 24-hour cool-off period is not applied to assets bought with a Debit/Credit card on the Nexo Exchange. Therefore, you will receive your first corresponding yield with the interest payout the following day.
US clients:
Per the Changes to Nexo’s Earn Interest Product in the U.S., US citizens and residents will no longer have the ability to earn interest on assets transferred out of their Savings Wallet on the Nexo platform. Hence, withdrawing any assets, which are eligible to earn, to Nexo Pro will make these assets no longer eligible to receive interest.
For example:
1. On September 8, you were earning interest on 10,000 XLM in your Savings Wallet.
2. The same day, you transferred 3,000 XLM to Nexo Pro, while 7,000 XLM remained in your Savings Wallet on the Nexo platform.
3. The next day, you returned 3,000 XLM back to your Savings Wallet.
4. As a result, only the amount of 7,000 XLM will continue to earn interest, whilst the returned 3,000 XLM will not.
Important notes:
Currently, BSV, ETC and EURT can only be acquired through Nexo Pro. These assets are not supported on the Nexo platform and therefore cannot be directly withdrawn to the Savings Wallet. However, you can swap these assets for a supported asset of your choice through the Spot Exchange and withdraw it to the Nexo platform.
You can enjoy an unlimited number of free-of-charge transfers between your Nexo and Nexo Pro accounts.
The spot rate, or spot price, is the current market price of an asset available for immediate settlement (delivery). This value represents the live price quote, depending on the demand and supply. In other words, the price the buyers are willing to pay and the sellers are willing to accept.
On a trading exchange assets are traded in pairs, or in other words, one asset (Base asset) is traded against the other (Quote asset). The spot rate (spot price) reflects how much of the Quote asset is required to buy 1 unit of the Base asset.
For example, if our desired trading pair is BTC/USDT, and the spot rate is 30,000 USDT, we will be trading BTC, which is the Base asset, against USDT, which is the Quote asset. The spot rate of 30,000 USDT means that we have to sell 30,000 USDT to obtain 1 BTC.
Buy and Sell are two types of actions that represent the interaction between the Base and the Quote assets. The action is initiated against the Base asset. When a Buy is opened, we are spending the Quote asset to acquire (buy) the Base asset. Performing a Sell, on the other hand, means spending (selling) the Base asset to obtain the Quote asset.
For example, if the BTC/USDT pair is selected, BTC is the Base asset and USDT is the Quote asset. A Buy means acquiring BTC by selling USDT. On the other hand, a Sell means spending BTC to obtain USDT.
In order to select a trading pair, navigate to the ‘Spot’ tab and click on the pre-selected pair in the upper-left corner of the screen. It is located below the Nexo Pro logo and above the chart.
A trading pair can be selected from the dropdown list, or you can locate the assets you wish to trade by searching for them directly through the search bar.
Keep in mind that some low-liquidity pairs are not available for direct exchange, therefore, to acquire the desired asset you would need to perform two trades as opposed to only one.
The Nexo Pro Spot Exchange offers traders the ability to benefit from capital appreciation as the value of their assets increases over time. Assets are directly transferred between market participants. When you acquire assets through the Spot, their ownership is handed to you, which enables you to further trade with them.
To perform a trade on the Spot Exchange:
A market order is the type of order that allows you to buy or sell an asset at the best price currently available on the market. In other words, the asset is traded at the current market price, rather than a rate specified by you. Market orders are optimal when your goal is to complete the trade right away.
To place a Market order on the Nexo Spot Exchange, please review the following Help Center article: How do I open a trade on the Spot Exchange?
A limit order is the type of order that allows you to specify the minimum price you are willing to pay or the maximum price you are willing to spend when buying/selling an asset respectively. Limit orders are not filled immediately, but rather when the specified limit price (or better price) is reached. While this type of order ensures that your trade will only be executed at a specified rate, the execution itself is not guaranteed, as the desired limit price might never be reached.
Limit orders are best utilized when you wish to buy/sell at a price different from the current quote and expect the price of the asset to reach the specified limit.
Limit order conditions:
Example: You place a GTC order to sell 1 BTC at the specified limit price of 30,000 USDT. Another market participant purchases 0.5 BTC at the rate of 30,000 USDT for a total of 15,000 USDT. The remaining part of your order, namely 0.5 BTC, remains on the market to be filled at the specified limit rate (1 BTC for 30,000 USDT), or to be precise, for 15,000 USDT. The order will remain active until either the limit price is available or the order is canceled by you.
Example: You place a sell order under IOC conditions for a total of 1 BTC at the limit price of 30,000 USDT. The market can fill the order at this rate only partially: the amount of 0.5 BTC can be sold for 15,000 USDT, however, the remaining 0.5 BTC cannot be filled immediately at this rate. The remaining order will be canceled and the unfilled amount of 0.5 BTC will be returned to your balance.
To place a Limit order on the Nexo Spot Exchange, please review the following Help Center article: How do I open a trade on the Spot Exchange?
Important: For the time being, the only type of Limited orders available are GTC and IOC.
TWAP, or Time-Weighted Average Price, is an algorithmic order type, which utilizes the strategy of executing trades at equal intervals over a specified period of time. The TWAP strategy is optimal for executing large orders at a better rate by splitting them into smaller amounts, which will be traded evenly over time at the respective dynamic market price. This strategy can also be utilized during times of high volatility, regardless of whether the market is going up or down.
To place a TWAP order on the Spot Exchange, you have to:
𝙀𝙭𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 : You decide to place a TWAP order to buy 1 BTC by selling USDT from your Trading Balance. You will be shown the amount of USDT required to obtain 1 BTC at the current market price. Alternatively, you can enter the USDT amount you wish to spend on the purchase and you will be presented with the BTC output amount based on the Spot price. Setting the ‘Split’ number to 1647 means that your order will be divided into 1647 parts. In this case, because the selected ‘Execution Interval’ is 10 seconds, the system will perform 1647 orders with 10-second intervals between each trade. The total time it takes to perform all trades can be calculated by multiplying the number of splits by the execution interval time. Based on our selected values, the calculations will be as follows:
1647 trades x 10 seconds = 16470 seconds
16470 seconds / 60 ≈ 274.5 minutes
274.5 minutes / 60 ≈ 4.5 hours
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: Since the Spot rate constantly fluctuates for all trading pairs, the total amount of the asset that you acquire in the end may be different from the initial value shown on your screen at the time of placing the TWAP order.
A margin account is a type of brokerage account that allows you to trade with borrowed funds, lent by the broker (Nexo).
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚?
A leverage ratio is any one of several financial measurements that look at how much capital comes in the form of debt (loans) or assesses the ability of a user to meet its financial obligations.
To expand further, margin trading is built on the principle of leverage, meaning that as a result of the trade you will receive the desired asset in a larger amount. In other words, the value of the purchased asset will be greater than the value of the asset you initially had in your balance. The difference between those values – the borrowed amount – will be reflected in your account in the form of a loan.
It is important to remember that leveraged trading can magnify the loss as well as the profit. For that reason, it is associated with greater risk and requires a deeper understanding of the process. We strongly recommend reviewing the following articles about Margin Trading before placing margin orders on Nexo Pro:
The order book is a written, real-time representation of all buy and sell orders active at the current moment and organized by price level. It illustrates how much buyers are willing to spend (Bid price) and how much sellers are willing to accept (Ask price). The difference between the Bid and Ask prices is called a Spread.
The order book indicates the liquidity of the market. If the buyers are setting the prices too low while the sellers are placing them too high, the spread will increase, and the market liquidity will decrease.
Example: The Ask price (set by sellers) for BTC is $20,000, and the Bid price (set by buyers) is $19,000. In this case, the spread will be $1,000, and since the middle ground is not reached, the liquidity will decrease.
On the other hand, if the buyers are offering a higher price than the one set by the sellers, the Bid and the Ask prices will overlap, creating a positive spread. The latter will provide traders with the opportunity to open/close an active trade at a better rate than initially anticipated.
Example: The Ask price (set by sellers) for BTC is $20,000, and the Bid price (set by buyers) is $21,000. In this case, the order will be executed at a BTC price of $21,000, creating a positive spread of $1,000.
Each trade on Nexo Pro comes with a Trading Fee, which will be displayed at the bottom of the Buy/Sell panel:
The exact fee depends on several factors, such as your Pricing Tier, Maker vs. Taker role, and whether you are trading on the Spot or Futures Exchange. The current fees are available on this page: Nexo Pro Fees.
What is my Pricing Tier?
Your Pricing Tier is defined as the total USD trading volume over the trailing 30-day period, updated once a day 00:01 UTC. The Total Volume does not include trades between stablecoins (for example, USDC/USDT).
Transactions involving USD, e.g. BTC/USD, are counted as the total USD amount of each filled order. If USD is not part of the selected trading pair, the transaction will be converted to USD based on the most recent fill price on the respective book. For example, the USD volume of a purchase of 1 ETH on the ETH/BTC book will be immediately converted based on the most recent fill price on the ETH/USD book.
The fee is determined by the current Pricing Tier at the time the order is placed, not on the tier you would be in after the trade is completed. You can preview your Pricing Tier and applicable fees by clicking on the gear wheel icon located in the upper-right corner of the screen on the Nexo Pro platform and selecting ‘Fee Tiers’ from the dropdown menu.
Makers vs. Takers
Nexo Pro uses a maker-taker fee model for determining its trading fees. Orders that provide liquidity (maker orders) are charged different fees than orders that take liquidity (taker orders).
When you place a market order that gets filled immediately, you are considered a Taker and will pay a fee between 0.03% and 0.20%. When you place an order, which is not immediately matched by an existing order, that order is placed on the order book. If another customer places an order that matches yours, you are considered a Maker and will pay a fee between 0.04% and 0.20%.
Important:
By opening a margin-based position, you will receive a loan and will be able to trade with the borrowed funds. Keep in mind that all loans on Nexo Pro come with a periodic interest, which is charged every 15 minutes.
Note: Loans repaid in less than 15 minutes after opening the trade will still be charged interest (origination fee). For example, if you open a leveraged trade and close it in 4 minutes, you will be charged interest for the first 15 minutes.
Our yearly interest rates are listed on the Margin Trading page. Only the assets presented in this page are available for Margin trading at the moment. To calculate the interest for 15 minutes, you can use the following formula:
Interest for 15 minutes = Outstanding Loan * Yearly Interest Rate / (365 x 96)
For example, consider the following loan with its respective annual interest rate:
Then, the interest will be calculated, as follows:
Important:
Crypto futures are contracts that represent the value of a specific cryptocurrency. You do not own the underlying cryptocurrency when you purchase a futures contract. Instead, you own a contract under which you have agreed to buy or sell a specific cryptocurrency at a later date.
In order to engage in Futures Trading, each user has to successfully complete a short test in the form of a questionnaire.
Futures contracts on the Nexo Pro platform are perpetual, which means they do not have an expiry date.
Benefits of trading Cryptocurrency Futures
How is Futures trading different from Spot Exchange trading?
Buying a cryptocurrency on the Spot Exchange and holding it in your Nexo Pro portfolio may bring you profits if the value of this asset appreciates over time.
Futures contracts, on the other hand, give you the opportunity to profit from short-term price movements in either direction. This means that you can opt for potential benefit, even when the market is in a decline.
More specifically, when the market is in a downturn, you can participate in a short position and as prices continue to fall, you will still be on the winning side.
Last but not least, Futures contracts can be used to protect against unexpected risks and significant price volatility, which makes them ideal for long-term investors.
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁:
Trading on the Futures Exchange comes with periodic funding payments between participants who hold open positions on the Futures market. These payments are based upon the current funding rate. Depending on your position and whether the funding rate is positive or negative, you will either receive funding or pay it to other traders.
The purpose of funding payments is to reduce the difference between the price of the perpetual futures contract and the underlying spot price.
The current funding rate (underlined in red) is displayed to the right from the selected perpetual contract and its price on the Futures Exchange:
It represents the rate of the latest settlement. Keep in mind that the funding rate is not fixed due to the fluctuating nature of the market.
On Nexo Pro, the funding rate is recalculated every 8 hours (00:00 PM UTC, 08:00 AM UTC, and 04:00 PM UTC). The countdown (underlined in blue) shows the time left until the next funding settlement. The funding fee will be applied up to 5 minutes after the funding payment execution.
When the funding rate is positive, traders who hold long positions pay traders who hold short positions. On the other hand, when it is negative, shorts pay longs.
In the image above, the perpetual contract is BTCUSDT and its price is 23,865.40 USDT. The funding rate is -0.0018% (negative). As the funding rate is negative, if you hold a short position, you will have to pay funding to the traders with long positions. And vice versa, if your open position is long, you will receive funding from the traders who opened short positions.
When trading on the Nexo Pro Futures Exchange, you will have the option to choose between opening either a long or a short position.
Opening a long position means that you expect the price of the selected futures contract to rise. You will profit from the trade if your prediction is correct and the price continues to increase.
Going short, on the other hand, means trading a futures contract with the anticipation of a price decline in the short term. In this case, when the price of the underlying asset decreases, you will profit from the trade.
An Advanced order on the Spot Exchange is an order type, which performs a Market order once a prespecified price has been reached. With this order type, you can place a single order which operates as two. The price of execution is defined by the client, and once it is crossed or exceeded, the order is carried out.
1. First, you should navigate to the Spot Exchange.
2. From there, you have to select the ‘Advanced’ order type under the ‘Market’ category, as illustrated:
3. Then, you would have to enter an Amount in terms of the currency you wish to acquire or sell. From there, you can set an exit position in both directions (Stop Loss & Take Profit). A valid entry would be a percentage or a specific trigger price. The two sell orders will be opened immediately once you complete the order but they will be executed only when their preset price is met.
4. Once you have filled the above fields, you will be presented with a detailed order summary. With it, you will gain a better understanding of what your potential profit or loss value is, which will aid you in making your choice.
With this mechanism, you can place two pending orders which are to be executed when your predefined price thresholds are reached. Only one of the two orders can be triggered at a time, either to secure your profits or to minimize your losses. For example:
There are three possible outcomes here:
As with the Buy option, only one of the two orders can be triggered at a time, either to secure your profits or to minimize your losses. For example:
The reason why the Stop Loss and Take Profit prices switched place is because you have sold Bitcoin and would be at a profit if the price goes down and you acquire BTC at a cheaper price.
There are three possible outcomes here:
With the algorithmic order type TWAP, or Time-Weighted Average Price, you can disperse a large order into smaller quantities and execute them at regular intervals automatically to minimize price impact.
2. From there, you have to select the ‘TWAP’ order type, as illustrated:
3. Then, you have to select an Amount in terms of the contract currency (e.g. BTC), along with a time execution interval. This can be in hours, minutes, or both. Keep in mind that the current Futures price will be used to place the order and you can decide what amount to enter with. From the ‘Open’ tab, you can set orders which are to be opened. On the other hand, from the ‘Close’ tab, you can close orders but only if you have an open futures position.
𝙀𝙭𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 : You decide to place a TWAP order for 1 BTCUSDT contract by betting on the price movement of BTC using the USDT from your Trading Balance. You will be shown the amount of the contract at the current Futures market price. Setting the execution time can be done with ease but note that the minimum interval is 5 minutes and the highest 48 hours. Assuming we have selected 4 hours and 30 minutes, the calculations will be as follows:
1 BTCUSDT / 4.5 hours = 0.22 BTCUSDT per hour
0.22 BTCUSDT / 6 = 0.037 BTCUSDT every 10 minutes
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: Since the Futures rate constantly fluctuates for all trading pairs, the total amount of the asset that you acquire in the end may be different from the initial value shown on your screen at the time of placing the TWAP order.
A Stop Market order on the Futures Exchange is an order type, which performs a Market order once a prespecified price has been reached. The price of execution is defined by the client, and once it is crossed or exceeded, the Stop Order acts as a Market Order and is carried out.
With Stop Market orders, you can increase the odds of achieving a trade at a desired entry or exit price. Stop Market orders are as beneficial to entries, as they are for leaving a position. They act in a way as Stop Loss or Take Profit orders for your futures positions.
It is important to note that Stop Market orders will be filled only if the Trigger Price is reached. However, the resulting Market order does not guarantee the price, nor the precision at which the order will be completed. In other words, despite the fact that we will aim to fill the order at the best available price at the time of execution, the final price could be much different than expected in fast-paced market conditions.
1. First, you should navigate to the Futures Exchange.
2. From there, you have to select the ‘Stop market’ order type, as illustrated:
3. Then, you can set a Trigger Price in terms of USDT (e.g. 22,000 USDT) and Amount in terms of the contract currency (e.g. BTC). Keep in mind that the current Futures price will be used to place the order and you can decide what amount to enter with. From the ‘Open’ tab, you can set orders which are to be opened once the Trigger Price is reached. On the other hand, from the ‘Close’ tab, you can close orders at a specific Trigger Price but only if you have an open futures position.
4. Once placed, the Stop Market order will remain active in your ‘Open Orders’ until it is filled or cancelled.
With this mechanism, you can set a pending order which is to be executed when your Trigger Price is reached. You can place both Long and Short orders simultaneously. For example:
The current price of BTC is 25,000 USDT and you place a 1 BTCUSDT Open Long order in the price of 26,000 USDT (can be triggered if the price is higher), expecting the price of Bitcoin to increase. Simultaneously, you place an Open Short order at a price of 24,000 USDT (can be triggered if the price is lower), in case the price of BTC declines.
That way, regardless of whether the market is rising or falling, you would have two well-defined orders which will be triggered only when the prespecified price is hit.
To better explain the underlying mechanisms behind this order type, we will run an exemplary scenario:
Let us say that you have an open perpetual futures contract at 2x leverage in the amount of 1 BTCUSDT and you have chosen to go long. The price of BTC is currently 27,000 USDT. You can secure profits and minimise losses at the same time by placing both a Close Long and a Close Short order. For instance:
By doing that, you define a threshold of how much you are willing to profit or fall back on your futures positions. Using the above example, the same can work for you if you plan to go Short instead and place two Close Short orders at different price levels.
A Trailing order can be thought of as a modified version of a Stop Loss or a Take Profit order. In a nutshell, a Trailing order follows (trails) the Spot price at a specified distance. It automatically adjusts itself and steadily follows the market’s price movement as long as it moves in the chosen direction.
Trailing orders can offer greater peace of mind and increased flexibility. The Trailing order moves by a specified percentage or amount when the price favors the trader. A Trailing order enables you to limit losses and settle on profits by steadily following the price movement. Your profit will be locked and the trade will remain open as long as the price moves in the desired direction.
The ability to choose between a Trailing Buy or a Trailing Sell allows higher mobility when managing your Nexo Pro portfolio.
1. First, you should navigate to the Spot Exchange.
2. From there, you have to select the dropdown arrow at the ‘Trailing’ order type, as illustrated:
3. Then, you can choose between Price Distance (Option 1 on the image) or % Distance (Option 2). One is a static number (e.g. 1,000 USDT) and the other a fixed percentage (e.g. 5%). Keep in mind that the current Spot price will be used to place the order and you can decide what amount to enter with.
Utilizing a Buy strategy enables you to trigger an order when the market turns around from a decline, increasing your odds of purchasing at a beneficial price To demonstrate the underlying mechanisms of the Trailing Buy order, we will use this example:
Suppose you have 28,000 USDT and would like to buy Bitcoin at the best possible price. Knowing that the current price of 1 BTC is 25,000 USDT, you place a Trailing Buy order at a 10% Price Difference.
In this particular example of a Trailing buy order, when the BTC price decreases to X USDT, the Buy price will be recalculated at X + 10%. However, when the BTC price goes up, the Buy Price will remain at its latest value (X + 10%). The order will be filled when the latest Buy Price matches the current BTC price.
Here is how things work out:
| Step | Current price of 1 BTC | Buy Price | Buy Price Status |
| 1 | 25,000 | 27,500 | Initial |
| 2 | 26,300 | 27,500 | Unchanged |
| 3 | 24,500 | 26,950 | Recalculated |
| 4 | 23,000 | 25,300 | Recalculated |
| 5 | 24,000 | 25,300 | Unchanged |
| 6 | 22,800 | 25,080 | Recalculated |
| 7 | 22,500 | 24,750 | Recalculated |
| 8 | 24,000 | 24,750 | Unchanged |
| 9 | 24,500 | 24,750 | Unchanged |
| 10 | 24,750 | 24,750 | Price match |
In the end, the buy order for 1 BTC is filled at the price of 24,750 USDT, as this value matches the latest recalculated Buy Price. Here is an in-depth explanation of each step:
The Trailing Sell strategy enables you to trigger an order when the market takes a downturn, increasing your odds of making a profit at the highest possible price. To demonstrate the underlying mechanisms of the Trailing Sell order, we will use this example:
Suppose you have 1.17 BTC worth 28,000 USDT and would like to sell most of it, or more precisely 1 BTC, at the best possible price. Knowing that the current price of 1 BTC is 24,000 USDT, you place a Trailing Sell order at a 7% Price Difference.
In this particular example of a Trailing sell order, when the BTC price increases to X USDT, the Sell Price will be recalculated at X – 7%. However, when the BTC price goes down, the Sell Price will remain at its latest value (X – 7%). The order will be filled when the latest Sell Price matches the current BTC price.
Here is how things work out:
| Step | Current price of 1 BTC | Sell Price | Sell Price Status |
| 1 | 24,000 | 22,320 | Initial |
| 2 | 23,500 | 22,320 | Unchanged |
| 3 | 24,300 | 22,599 | Recalculated |
| 4 | 26,700 | 24,831 | Recalculated |
| 5 | 25,500 | 24,831 | Unchanged |
| 6 | 27,300 | 25,389 | Recalculated |
| 7 | 29,350 | 27,296 | Recalculated |
| 8 | 28,670 | 27,296 | Unchanged |
| 9 | 27,850 | 27,296 | Unchanged |
| 10 | 27,296 | 27,296 | Price match |
In the end, the sell order of 1 BTC is filled at the price of 27,296 USDT, as this value matches the latest recalculated Sell Price. Here is an in-depth explanation of each step:
With a Take Profit order, the idea of the trade is to aim for an upward price trend and break high (that is, to sell at a higher price and make a profit). In the case of Stop-Loss orders, the aim is to minimize the losses. However, in both Take Profit and Stop-Loss orders, you are limited to the Trigger Price selected. A Trailing Sell order, on the other hand, locks in profit and limits losses at the same time. When the price of the asset increases, it pulls the trailing Sell Price along with it. However, when the asset’s price decreases, the stop-loss price (Sell Price) does not change: it remains at the previous level, thus locking in profits and protecting you from losses as the price reaches new peaks.
At this time, NEXO Tokens moved from your Savings Wallet to your Nexo Pro portfolio do not count towards your Loyalty Tier on the Nexo platform.
If you wish to transfer some of your NEXO to Nexo Pro, while continuing to reap the benefits of your Loyalty level, you will need to ensure that the amount of NEXO left across your Nexo platform balances is enough to maintain the desired Loyalty Tier.
The Futures Exchange allows you to profit from price movements in both positive and negative direction by either opening a Long or a Short position, respectively. Futures Positions are denominated and settled upon closing in USDT.
To open a position on the Nexo Pro Futures Exchange, you need to:
1. Select a trading pair.
2. Click ‘Open’ on the panel, located on the right side of the trading screen, and enter the amount.
3. To place the order, select either the ‘Open Long’ or the ‘Open Short’ option, depending on whether you anticipate the price of the underlying asset to increase (‘Open Long’) or decrease (‘Open Short’).
4. Your open position will be shown in the ‘Positions’ tab at the bottom of the screen.
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁:
In order to place a leveraged order on the Spot Exchange, you will need to ensure that margin trading is activated on your Nexo Pro account.
Margin trading is built on the principle of leverage, meaning that as a result of the trade you will receive the desired asset in a larger amount (up to 5x leverage). In other words, the value of the purchased asset will be up to 5 times greater than the value of your initial balance.
When placing a leveraged order, you can borrow funds to trade with, on top of your initial balance (in other words, your margin), with the maximum leverage of 5x. During a margin trade, the initial balance plus the borrowed amount will be sold to obtain the counter asset.
Keep in mind that the borrowed amount will be reflected in your account in the form of a loan under Active Debt, whereas the purchased amount (the counter asset) will be used as collateral along with your other assets which are not In Orders for this debt and reflected in your Trading Balance.
𝙀𝙭𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 : Your initial balance is 0.5 BTC totalling 10,000 USD and you decide to buy NEXO/BTC with 5x leverage. Suppose the NEXO/BTC rate is 0.00005.
The 5x leverage means that your total purchasing power increases fivefold – to a total of 2.5 BTC (or 50,000 USD). In this case, 0.5 BTC (or 10,000 USD) is your margin (initial, non-borrowed balance) and the remaining 2 BTC (or 40,000 USD) is the borrowed amount, which will be placed in the Active Debt. As a result of the trade, 2.5 BTC, or 50,000 USD, will be sold to purchase the counter asset (NEXO) at the rate of 0.00005:
2.5 BTC / 0.00005 = 50,000 NEXO
Once the order is closed, 50,000 NEXO will be reflected in your Trading Balance. This amount will be used as collateral for your Active Debt in the amount of 2 BTC (or 40,000 USD).
It is important to note that trading with borrowed funds comes with a periodic interest that will be charged on your Active Debt.
We strongly recommend reviewing the following articles about Margin Trading before placing margin orders on Nexo Pro:
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁:
Nexo Pro utilizes the 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻 method, meaning that all of the assets stored in your Nexo Pro portfolio will be used as collateral for all of your loans generated through margin trades on the Spot Exchange.
For example, if you open a margin-based Buy order on the 𝗕𝗧𝗖/𝗨𝗦𝗗𝗧 pair and also have DOT and AXS in your Nexo Pro portfolio, the latter two assets will be treated as collateral for your loan along with your USDT balance and will count towards the Current Margin Level. If the Margin Level falls below the Liquidation Threshold, the system will sell parts of your collateral to restore the Margin Level above the liquidation threshold. During severe market downturns, a significant portion of the collateral could be sold to maintain the healthy state of your loan.
Keep in mind that only the balances stored in the Nexo Pro account are shared across your margin-based trades. If your Margin Level decreases, funds stored in your Nexo Savings Wallet will not be automatically transferred to Nexo Pro to secure your positions. If your Total Balance on Nexo Pro depreciates in value, you will need to move assets from the Nexo Platform manually in order to increase your collateral.
In order to activate Margin Trading on your Nexo Pro account, you will need to click on the gear wheel icon located in the upper-right corner of the screen on the Nexo Pro platform and select ‘Margin Trading’ from the dropdown menu. Once you are on the Margin Trading screen, toggle ‘Enable margin trading’ to ”ON”. You can use the same toggle to deactivate Margin Trading on your Nexo Pro account.
Alternatively, you can turn Margin Trading on and off using the ‘Margin’ toggle in the Buy/Sell panel on the right of the Order Book on the Spot Exchange.

Important:
In order to swap assets (BTC, BNB) for NEXO Tokens on the Binance DEX exchange, users need to register a wallet and connect it with the Binance Decentralized Exchange. In this article, you will find a step-by-step guide about how to set your wallet and transfer NEXO efficiently and cheaply across the BEP2 network.
Step 1 & 2: Open your wallet by going to binance.org and clicking on ‘Wallet’ as shown on the screenshot below:
Step 3: You will need to select the browser you are using or are planning to use:
Step 4: Download and install the extension to your browser:
Step 5: Open the Binance extension and Create Wallet:
Step 6: Create a Strong Password for your wallet:
Step 7: Seed Phrases*:
IMPORTANT: type the seed phrases in the order presented on a piece of paper and store this information in a safe place – the seed phrase is presented only once and it is the only way to recover access to your wallet!
Step 8: Finding and Adding the NEXO Token into your wallet*:
Inputting NEXO Token now will allow you to withdraw it to your Nexo account after the exchange on the DEX. You can always leave this step for later.
Step 9: Accessing the Binance DEX exchange:
Step 10: Sync/connect your newly created wallet with the Exchange:
Step 11: Select the Binance Wallet and it will automatically obtain the newly created wallet:
Step 12 & 13: All setup is done. Your wallet is created and connected with the decentralized exchange. You should see the wallet on the top right corner of the platform. From here we proceed with executing the trade for NEXO Tokens. In our example we will swap BNB (Binance Coin) for NEXO (NEXO Tokens):
Step 14 & 15: Properties and how to set the order. Please bear in mind that you may only set ‘Limit Orders’. This means that a counter-party needs to find your rate favorable and swap against your offered rate. You may either type the amount of BNB you wish to swap or use the 25%,50%,75%, or 100% scaler to exchange your BNB for NEXO Tokens.
Upon clicking on ‘Buy NEXO’ you will have a pop-up window where you need to click ‘Confirm’ to set the position (please see the second screenshot):
Yes, you will receive dividends on all NEXO Tokens held in your Nexo account. To learn more about Nexo dividends: https://medium.com/nexo/nexo-dividends-explained-6636804db3a.
In other words – it does not matter in which wallet Credit Line or Savings you hold your NEXO Tokens.
Nexo pays 30% of its Net Profit in the form of dividends.
Dividends are available to all NEXO Token holders, regardless of how many tokens they own and in which wallet Credit or Savings they are held, as long as two conditions are met:
The latest official information about dividend payments has been carefully explained here.
There is a fixed circulating supply of Nexo, the remainder the Team have said are locked until TBA.
So there isn’t a dilution, as there are no new Nexo created – the dividend paid in Nexo needs to be bought from existing circulating supply by the company in order to be paid to holders.
Sadly, not really. Most whales hold their tokens on the app, with Nexo, for dividends daily interest, for using as collateral, etc. There is not official/public list of top-token holders.
At this time, NEXO Tokens moved from your Savings Wallet to your Nexo Pro portfolio do not count towards your Loyalty Tier on the Nexo platform.
If you wish to transfer some of your NEXO to Nexo Pro, while continuing to reap the benefits of your Loyalty level, you will need to ensure that the amount of NEXO left across your Nexo platform balances is enough to maintain the desired Loyalty Tier.

Important:
The Nexo Loyalty program is a four-tier system, comprising Base, Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels, which extends benefits depending on the amount of NEXO Tokens you hold across your Nexo Savings and Credit wallets, as combined in the Portfolio Balance*.
The requirements for each tier are as follows:
* The Portfolio Balance is the combined value of your Credit Line and Savings Wallets. The Loyalty program bases rewards tiers on the ratio of NEXO Tokens vs. the value of all the assets in your Portfolio Balance, which must be at least 1%, 5%, or 10% respectively for each tier. For the time being, NEXO Tokens held in your Nexo Pro portfolio will not contribute toward your Loyalty level.
Loyalty Benefits:
The Loyalty program’s Base, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers progressively give you greater rewards the more NEXO Tokens you hold, simultaneously reducing your borrowing rates for the Instant Crypto Credit LinesTM, increasing your yields with the Earn on Crypto & FiatX suite in conjunction with our Flex and Fixed-term deposits, and increasing the number of free crypto withdrawals you can make per calendar month:
We have also integrated a feature that indicates which Loyalty tier you are currently in, with a function displaying how much more NEXO you need to hold to access the next Loyalty tier, which makes it even easier to keep a tab on your rewards.
Due to changes applied, the exact interest rates, depending on the user’s Loyalty tier and bonuses applicable for fixed terms and/or earning in NEXO Tokens, are indicated on the Nexo platform.
Only the amount above the threshold in your current Loyalty level is impacted. The threshold applies to each asset separately, not your entire portfolio.
For example, if you are in the Base Loyalty level and have 40,000 USD worth of BTC in FLEX terms, you will be earning up to 3% annual interest on 25,000 USD, and up to 1.5% annual interest on the remaining 15,000 USD which are above the threshold.
You also get higher interest rates for keeping your assets on Fixed Terms and opting to have your interest paid out in NEXO.
The Loyalty program is designed to help you grow and manage your wealth now and in the long term. Below are the ways this new system takes our services to the next level:
Important: Nexo Earn Product is not available for citizens or residents of certain jurisdictions, including where restrictions may apply, such as Bulgaria, Estonia and the USA
If your collateralized assets decrease in value and you do not add additional assets to your Nexo account after receiving warnings from the Nexo blockchain oracle, the Nexo Oracle may initiate partial automatic loan repayments to rebalance the Loan-to-Value back within limits.
To avoid this scenario, you can enable our Automatic Collateral Transfer feature. Here’s how it works: when you don’t cover the required LTV ratio, the Nexo Oracle will automatically transfer a small portion of your assets from the Savings Wallet to the Credit Line Wallet to fulfil the gap, thus keeping your loan health in check.
This option is ON by default and we strongly recommend that it is kept that way as it creates an extra buffer against automatic repayments. In case the crypto in your “Credit Line” wallet is no longer able to support your loan due to sudden loss of value, the system will transfer in extra crypto from your “Savings” wallet to improve your LTV ratio and keep it below the automatic repayments threshold.
If your collateral appreciates in value, your credit line limit also goes up. You’re free to withdraw more credit or leave your current loan as is.
You can also use the extra value of your crypto to pay off part of your credit. If your assets have met your price target, then you can:
The transaction is performed without any additional fees on Nexo’s part. Any resulting charges are fees from the exchange that facilitated the trade.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the so-called “limited” assets on Nexo’s platform. They share the same functionalities as the rest of the currently supported digital currencies, i.e. you can earn interest (both in Flex and Fixed terms), borrow against them, or swap them for other currencies. They can also be transferred between your Credit Line and Savings wallets to suit your financial strategies.
Limited Assets can only be obtained and swapped through our own exchange, meaning you cannot directly deposit/withdraw them to/from our platform. The introduction of designated wallets and the underlying blockchain integration that powers on-chain transfers is a rather complex and time-consuming process. This is where Limited Assets step in: they allow you to diversify your portfolio and tap into the power of an even wider range of cryptocurrencies right here, right now.
The cryptocurrencies currently onboarded as Limited Assets are THORChain’s RUNE token, Solana’s SOL token, Avalanche’s AVAX token, Fantom’s FTM token, Cosmos’ ATOM token, Kusama’s KSM token, NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Optimism’s OP token, Terra (LUNA2), Terra Classic (LUNC), TerraClassic USD (USTC), Ethereum PoW (ETHW), GMX (GMX), Aptos’ APT with others to follow shortly after.

*What is a settlement currency?
You can use any fiat currency to buy crypto with your card, however, if this currency is different from USD, GBP, and EUR, the funds you’re paying with will be converted into one of our three available settlement currencies (USD, GBP, EUR). The conversion fee will be charged by your bank and will depend on their exchange rates. When buying crypto with your card, you can select the settlement currency that is best for you.

Below you can find the steps you need to take in order to purchase crypto on the Nexo Exchange with a credit/debit card. Everything else you should know about the process is outlined in this article.
1. Open the Nexo web platform and log in to your account.
2. Click on the ‘Exchange’ tab and choose ‘Buy with card’
3. For your security, we need to verify your card before you can use it to make crypto purchases. If you have not taken advantage of our ‘Buy with Card’ feature so far, you would first need to complete this step before making a purchase. To do so, you can tap on the ‘Link Credit/Debit Card’ button. Your verified cards will be securely stored and displayed for future purchases.
You can also click on ‘Preview Exchange’ as it will automatically prompt you to link and verify your card.
4. Enter your card details and click ‘Link Card’
5. Each Card Verification request comes with a $0.10 3DS authorisation hold, which will be reflected on your card statement. The aforementioned amount will be blocked only for a short period of time and will be released afterwards. Any linked cards will first appear in your account with a ‘Pending’ status and, once reviewed, either as ‘Approved’ or ‘Rejected’
6. Once your card is validated, pick the currencies you would like to exchange and enter your desired amount. Then click on ‘Preview’. You will once again need to complete a 3DS verification
7. After authorising the purchase, you will be redirected back to the Nexo platform, where you will have 20 minutes to confirm it. On the confirmation screen, you will see the exact Exchange Rate at which your purchase will be executed. Please, confirm the said purchase only if you are happy with the rate offered
8. The purchased digital assets will be credited to your Nexo Account in a few seconds
You can watch this quick tutorial to learn how to buy crypto on the Nexo app. The process is intuitive and it takes seconds.
Alternatively, you can follow these simple steps:
1. Open the Nexo App and log in to your account
2. Tap “Add Funds” on the Dashboard
3. Select “Credit/Debit Card”
4. Choose the currency you would like to buy
5. Make sure you have selected your previously linked card as a Payment Method.
You can change the currency of the card from the“Pay with Currency” drop-down menu.
Enter your desired amount. Below it, you will see the amount of crypto, as well as cashback (if any), that you will receive.
Then tap “Continue” to enter your card details.
6. Authorize the purchase through 3DS if applicable
7. Once your card is validated, review your order on the next screen and confirm it by tapping on “Confirm Order“. On the confirmation screen, you will see the exact Exchange Rate at which your purchase will be executed. Please, confirm the said purchase only if you are happy with the rate offered
8. The digital assets bought will be credited to your Nexo Account in a few second
Important:
The Address Book is the place where you can save your withdrawal addresses for all supported crypto assets on the Nexo platform. This option would save you time and add additional security as you would not have to re-enter the same address every time. The number of addresses you can keep a record of is unlimited. Both personal wallets or wallets of exchanges can be added to your Address Book.
It is important to note that saved addresses are not whitelisted unless Whitelisting is enabled.
Whitelisting is a security feature that limits withdrawals to only the addresses you have added to your Address Book. Upon enabling it you will be required to set up your Extra Security option. This is a feature that allows you to select the length of the security delay for adding new addresses or disabling Whitelisting altogether. You can choose between the three pre-set options – ‘None‘, ‘24h‘, ‘72h‘, or you can enter a ‘Custom‘ timeframe that best suits your needs. It can be as low as 5 hours or as much as 10,000 hours.
Once Whitelisting is activated you have a 4-hour cool-off window to add new addresses instantly or disable the whitelisting. After this period ends, you have to wait for the pre-set Extra Security time to pass before any changes you make come into effect.
Important notice: The Whitelisting option applies to the whole portfolio and all of the supported crypto assets. If it is turned ON, you will be able to withdraw only to the addresses from your Address Book. You will NOT be able to withdraw assets for which you have not added a withdrawal address in the Address Book. Please make sure you do so before enabling Whitelisting or within the 4-hour cool-off period. In case you have not done this, you can still whitelist an address, but you will be required to disable the Whitelisting and wait for the Extra Security timeframe to pass (if you have set an Extra Security Level other than ‘None’).
Please review the following articles for detailed instructions on:
There are two general ways you can access the Address Book.
1. You can reach it from the ‘Withdraw‘ button next to the crypto asset you wish to withdraw, following the steps provided below:
2. Alternatively, you can access it from the ‘Security‘ tab under your profile, as shown in the following screenshots:
Once you access the Address Book page you can add a new address, edit an already existing one, or remove a pre-existing wallet.
Important: If you have the Whitelisting option turned on, you will not be able to add a new address until the pre-set Extra Security time has passed (if any).
Important: If you have the Whitelisting option turned on, you will not be able to edit your existing addresses until the pre-set Extra Security time has passed.
Important: If you have the Whitelisting option turned on, you will not be able to re-enter the same address until the pre-set Extra Security time has passed.
For more information regarding the Address Book and the Whitelisting feature, please review the following articles:
To enable/disable the Whitelisting feature, you would first need to access the Address Book page. There you can add a new address, edit an already existing one, or remove any pre-existing wallets you may have.
Once the disabling is confirmed via email, there are three possible scenarios:
In this scenario, the Whitelisting toggle button will become yellow and a timer will appear next to it.
This timer will represent the Extra Security Level you have previously set, and it will count down the remaining time that must pass before the Whitelisitng is turned off. Until it reaches zero, the Whitelisting will remain active and you will not be able to make any changes to your Address Book.
However, you can instantly re-enable the Whitelisting option without having to wait for the Extra Security time to pass.
In the second and third scenarios, you will regain full access to all of the platform’s features right after the disabling of the Whitelisting option is confirmed via email.
For more information regarding the Address Book and the Whitelisting feature, please review the following articles:
With its intuitive functionality, the Nexo Booster allows you to amplify the purchasing power of your current holdings and boost your exposure to crypto without allocating additional capital.
The feature requires Identity Verification and can be accessed both within the Nexo mobile application and the browser version of the platform. It works by using your existing crypto holdings and allowing you to borrow additional funds to grow your position in a certain asset. That is right, we give you credit that you can instantly use to acquire more crypto assets through a single leverage transaction.
Below are the key points that best describe the Nexo Booster:
* The NEXO Token is excluded from the Nexo Booster, you cannot pay with or boost NEXO.
** You can use crypto, Stablecoins, and EURx, GBPx, and USDx for the “Pay With” currency in the Nexo Booster, but keep in mind that you will NOT be able to select EURx, GBPx, USDx or stablecoins for your “Receive” currency.
|
Tip: Once an asset you’ve purchased with the Nexo Booster increases in value, you can use the ‘new available credit line’ to repay your outstanding credit. |
Yes! Leverage via the Nexo Booster works by collateralizing your existing holdings for an initial part of the loan. Naturally, that isn’t enough collateral for the rest of a 3x leverage transaction. As collateral for the rest of your loan, Nexo immediately collateralized the assets you are acquiring through your booster transaction, making your credit fully collateralized.
In effect, Nexo uses your existing crypto holdings plus the newly-acquired asset as collateral to give you a bigger crypto-backed credit line to finance the aforementioned acquisition.
Fees for the Nexo Booster are factored into your outstanding credit line balance. There are three different fee tiers that are determined by your LTV. The fee to be charged will be included in the “Borrowed funds” amount in the “After Purchase” section which you can check before finalizing your booster transaction.
The fees are as follows:
Since the Nexo Booster lives in the Exchange section of the Nexo App, our team took this as an opportunity to tie up a few loose ends on that front and give you a more intuitive experience. In relation to this, we are integrating the following change:
Instead of the Buy, Sell, and Swap tabs of the Exchange section, you will see only two tabs: Convert and Booster. The Convert Tab encompasses all three of the former options – this is where you would go to buy, sell or swap assets. The Booster option in turn is naturally where you would tap if you’re looking for a leverage transaction.
Important: Please note that Nexo Booster loans repaid in less than 30 days are charged interest for the remainder of the 30-day period at the standard APR of 13.9% regardless of your loyalty tier. This is in order to prevent improper use of the Nexo Platform and to safeguard Nexo as a company, but more importantly, our clients and investors.
This information is also available on the Credit Line Repayment screen as seen in the sample screenshot below:
Disclaimer 1: Currently excluded from Nexo’s Nexo Booster product per the Nexo Earn Interest Product General Terms and Conditions and the Nexo Exchange Service General Terms and Conditions, as amended on occasion are citizens or residents of Bulgaria, Estonia, the United States of America, Canada and Australia, as well as of other jurisdictions subject to certain limitations or restrictions as may be applicable at times.
Disclaimer 2: You understand and agree that you use the Nexo Booster at your own risk. Needless to say, as a leverage trading product, the Nexo Booster can work in both ways – it amplifies your gains when the chosen asset appreciates, yet magnifies the losses when prices are falling. In order to make an educated decision, you need to have a thorough understanding of how the Loan-to-value ratio and price-based margin calls and liquidations work. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such use is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. If you are uncertain, please seek independent legal advice.
Boosting your portfolio is a simple and user-friendly process. You don’t need to be a professional trader to be able to use the service. The steps in the below illustrate where to find the Nexo Booster both in our app and on web and how to navigate your way around the feature.
Since the Nexo Booster is available both within the mobile app and on web, within this article, you can find detailed steps respective to each method of use.
How to boost your portfolio via the mobile app?
1. Go to the Exchange Tab and select “Booster”
2. Add your “Pay with” and “Receive” currency
3. Drag the Leverage marker to how much (1.25-3x) you want to boost your assets
4. Beneath the “Receive” currency on the Nexo Booster screen, you’ll see the Profit Projection bar. Drag the bar back and forth to project the profits of the booster transaction you’ve set depending on how the price of your chosen asset fluctuates in the future. This is essentially a calculator for potential future profits or losses.
5. Check the “After Purchase” section where you will find a breakdown of your booster transaction. It displays the LTV your Credit Line will be at once you finalize your leverage, the amount you will borrow, and your available credit before and after the transaction is complete. It is a useful tool to review before hitting the “Exchange” button on your leverage transaction.
6. Preview your order. At this stage, you will be presented with a rate on the trading pair of your choice. Please, confirm the trade only if you are happy with the rate you will get.
7. Tap “Exchange” and you’re done
How to boost your portfolio via the web platform?
Having in mind your convenience, the web browser version is set to operate in a straightforward manner that replicates the on mobile. In the screenshot below you can find the main steps you would need to take to initiate a successful boost through your browser.
As mentioned, the steps from above apply:
1. Go to the Exchange Tab and select ‘Booster’
2. Add your “Pay with” and “Receive” currency

4. Drag the ‘Profit projection’ bar back and forth to project the profits of the booster transaction
5. Check the ‘After Purchase’ section where you will find a breakdown of your booster transaction.
6. Preview your order and confirm the trade only if you are happy with the rate you will get.
7. Tap ‘Confirm Order’ to complete your boost.
For a detailed information on how the Nexo Booster works, please refer to this article.
While the Nexo Booster is its own integrated product, in the background it uses the infrastructures of two of Nexo’s existing services: our Exchange and the Instant Crypto Credit Lines. This being the case using the Booster triggers our 0.5% Exchange Loyalty Cashback on all swaps.
This is what’s happening behind the scenes:
With booster transactions for a single asset, the crypto you’re putting forth is collateralized and the rest of the needed sum is issued to you as a USDT loan which is then swapped via our Exchange into the “Receive” currency (also your original asset in this case). The exchange initiated at the end of this booster transaction gets 0.5% cashback.
If your boost involves two different assets, then the initial sum you put forward is exchanged into your “Receive” currency and you get cashback on this swap. But you also get cashback on the exchange that takes place when the USDT loan set to cover the rest of your booster transaction is converted into your “Receive” currency.
However, have in mind that you’ll receive cashback if you haven’t exceeded your Exchange Loyalty Cashback limit.
For a detailed information concerning the Nexo Booster, please refer to this article.
There are two ways you can use the Nexo Booster:
Detailed example:
BTC price: $40,000, ETH price: $4,000
You select to receive BTC with 3x leverage and decide to pay with 10 ETH of your own. These 10 ETH worth $40,000 you put forth are sold for 1 BTC. For the remaining 2 BTC, we issue you with a loan for $80,000 sourced from your Available Credit Line. As a result, you receive $120,000 in BTC which in this example is 3 BTC. The “After Purchase” page will show an LTV ratio of 68.66% and Borrowed Funds of $82,400 ($80,000 loan + $2,400 booster fee).
Detailed example:
BTC price: $40,000
You select to receive BTC with 3x leverage and pay with BTC of your own. The 1 BTC you put forth is evaluated at $40,000 and then we issue you with a loan for $80,000 sourced from your Available Credit Line. As a result, you receive $120,000 in BTC which in this example is 3 BTC. The “After Purchase” page will show an LTV ratio of 68.66% and Borrowed Funds of $82,400 ($80,000 loan + $2,400 booster fee).

Get a $100 welcome bonus, paid out in Bitcoin, when you sign up with Nexo through our dedicated promo link, top up $1,500 or more and hold it for 30 days. Earn an extra $50 in BTC if you swap at least $1,500 on the Nexo Exchange by 14:00 UTC on July 1. Check out the details below.
Throughout the 30-day hold period, you will be able to see the bonus transaction in the Transactions section of your Nexo account, however, its status will be pending. The bonus will be credited to your balance within 48 hours after the 30-day period is over, provided that the requirements above have been met.
If you meet the criteria stated above, you can expect the reward to land in your Nexo account between August 1 and August 10, 2022.
Note: Assets swapped after 14:00 UTC on July 1 will not qualify for the additional $50 bonus reward in BTC.
You can always sign in to your account and check your reward status. Here are some possible reasons why you didn’t get your top-up bonus:
Once you top up your Nexo account with the equivalent of $1,500 or more in any eligible digital currency*, you will automatically begin to earn interest on these funds. You can also swap them for other assets on the Nexo Exchange. This won’t affect your reward and is even encouraged as you can get an extra $50 in BTC if you trade at least $1,500 on the Nexo Exchange during the 30-day hold period for the Welcome Bonus. And it gets better – once you receive your reward, you will automatically start earning interest on it, too.

Sadly not right now, only on the web-app.
Get up to $1,500 extra for holding some of the hottest coins with the Nexo’s Buy & HODL Crypto Challenge – a rewards program available to both new and existing Nexo clients.
The promo starts at 00:00 UTC on 17.03.2022 and ends on 17.07.2022 at 00:00 UTC.
The challenge starts on March 17 and will have two stages.
Stage 1 – Buy & Top up Stage (17.03.2022, 00:00 UTC until 17.04.2022, 00:00 UTC) – You will have one month to load your Nexo account with each or all of the promo eligible assets mentioned above by either buying them directly on the Nexo Exchange or by topping up from any external wallet. To be eligible for a promo reward you should have at least $5,000 worth of one of the promo-supported assets. Note that you can not stack multiple cryptos to reach a given tier – i.e., you can not buy $8,000 worth of SOL and $2,000 worth of DOT to be eligible for the $10,000 tier. However, you will be allowed to stack the same asset multiple times. For example, if you initially buy $8,000 in SOL and then top up $2,000 in SOL, you will be eligible for the $10,000 tier, as long as it is during the Buy & Top up Stage.
The promo rewards are as follows:
Buy/Top Up $5,000 worth of any promotional asset during the Buy & Top up stage & receive $150 extra in NEXO
Buy/Top Up $10,000 worth of any promotional asset during the Buy & Top up stage & receive $250 extra in NEXO
Buy/Top Up $25,000 worth of any promotional asset during the Buy & Top up stage & receive $600 extra in NEXO
Buy/Top Up $100,000 worth of any promotional asset during the Buy & Top up stage & receive $1,500 extra in NEXO
Important:
The bonus will be defined by the USD value of the Buy/Top Up crypto balance/s that will be captured on the first day following Stage 1 of the promotion – April 17, 2022, at 00:00 UTC, which amount should be kept during the HODL stage.
You will be eligible to receive a promo reward for each of the topped up/bought currencies as long as the worth of each one is at least $5,000 during the snapshot at 00:00 UTC on April 17, 2022.
Assets transferred prior to 00:00 UTC on March 17, 2022, will not be considered as an eligible balance for the promo.
Withdrawing previous balances from the Nexo account and topping up the funds back will not be considered as an eligible balance for the promo.
Internal transfers between Nexo accounts will not be considered as an eligible balance for the promo.
Please make sure to only transfer supported crypto assets over the respective Blockchain network supported by Nexo. Тransferring unsupported assets to your Nexo account will result in permanent loss.
Stage 2 – HODL Stage (17.04.2022, 00:00 UTC until 17.07.2022, 00:00 UTC) – During the second stage, you must keep the captured in-kind crypto balance of each of your assets eligible for a promo reward in your Nexo account for a period of 90 days. In the meantime, you are allowed to either collateralize the assets for a credit or simply earn interest on them. You would only need to ensure that at the end of the 90 day period, you have the same, or higher, in-kind amount of the respective eligible crypto assets that were captured at 00:00 UTC on April 17, 2022.
For example, if you bought 300 SOL on March 18 and topped up another 5,000 DOT on April 5, to qualify for the challenge you will need the same in-kind amount of SOL and DOT on July 17, regardless of the price movements of either asset.
Important:
Withdrawing the balance/s you entered the HODL stage with makes you no longer eligible for the respective promo reward.
Repaying using the balance/s you entered the HODL stage with makes you no longer eligible for the respective promo reward.
Exchanging the balance/s you entered the HODL stage with makes you no longer eligible for the respective promo reward.
The bonus will be paid within 15 days after the end of the promo.
The Buy & HODL Crypto Challenge is not available for citizens or residents of certain jurisdictions, including where restrictions may apply, such as Bulgaria, Estonia, and the USA.
* Top-ups are available for DOT, MATIC, ADA, BNB. Limited Assets such as SOL, AVAX can only be obtained and swapped through our own exchange, meaning you cannot directly deposit/withdraw them to/from our platform.
Have you ever considered unlocking the full potential of your referring power? Think no more because the Nexo Referral Race Promo has got your back on this. You now have the special opportunity to participate in an exclusive two-layer promo.
Referral Bonus Reward:
As usual, both you and the referred buddy can receive a $25 reward in BTC, as explained in this article. Here is how:
Important:
On top of these individual $25 rewards, you can also get a slice of the $50,000 Prize Pool. Each of your referrals who have made an eligible deposit during the promo period, 00:00 UTC on 26.05.2022 and 23:59 UTC on 26.07.2022, will be counted towards the promotion.
$50,000 in NEXO* tokens will be distributed among the top 50 participants with the most eligible referrals as follows:
* The reward for US citizens or residents shall be paid out in BTC instead.
To elevate your position, you have to refer more friends to join Nexo. You can refer an unlimited number of friends, but they must not have created a Nexo account before – only brand new customers are accepted. Only those of your referrals who have made an eligible deposit within the promo period and have subsequently met the Referral Bonus requirements will be considered successful referrals for the Referral Race. Clients who you have referred prior to the beginning of the Referral Race (not earlier than 90 days) but have not yet met the requirements will still be considered successful referrals as long as they meet the Referral Program requirements during the Referral Race.
In order to keep the community informed, there will be three mid-term checkpoints on which we will share a leader-board with the top 50 participants who have made the most referrals up to this moment:
The winners will be announced between 25.08.2022 – 30.08.2022.
The prizes will be paid-out in NEXO or BTC to the Winner’s Nexo Account within the period 25.08.2022 – 01.09.2022 based on the average exchange rate for USD/NEXO and NEXO/BTC as of the day of pay out.
Important notes:
No. There are currently no airdrops. If you get contacted via Facebook, Twitter, Telegram or anywhere else, it’s a scam. The only “giveaway” that is currently running is the fact that you can win 100k Nexo tokens for voting for which coin should be added next to the platform (You can do this via the app, on the home screen, scroll the top banners to the right until you find the one about voting.)
Edit: They occasionally do community giveaways now, but that is ALWAYS announced on Nexo.io site.

They don’t keep the all of their assets in the one wallet.
Their custodian, BitGo, keeps funds in many smaller wallets – the likelihood of all those wallets being hacked at the same time is something approaching zero.
In the latest AMA, they announced the bank acquisition/license should be around the corner, with a EU license coming first, and a US license after that. No news since then.
