CoinSpot Earn - General
What is Earn?
CoinSpot Earn Program is the process where users are able to earn a percentage reward on their coin holdings over a period of time. With CoinSpot Earn, users can lend their coins to CoinSpot in exchange for a fixed rate interest payment, awarded to users in the form of the coin lent.
How are my Rewards calculated?
You will receive a fixed interest rate per annum payable by CoinSpot as compensation to you for lending your eligible coins to CoinSpot. Rewards are based on the competitive Earn rate CoinSpot offers for each coin.
You can view the current reward APY below or you can visit the Earn section in the specific coin wallet.
For further information on Tiers for Ethereum (ETH) please have a read of our CoinSpot Earn - Ethereum (ETH) article.
What is APY?
APY stands for Annual Percentage Yield which is the rate utilised to define rewards payable on Earn. APY is a normalised rate defined by the compounding period of one year.
Will I be taxed on my Earn Rewards?
In line with what has been advised by the ATO, under Australian Tax laws, rewards received through CoinSpot Earn are subject to Capital gains tax.
Your Earn rewards history can be accessed via the Order History section of your account. Just head to the My Account Menu, select Order History and you will have the option to download a CSV file as well as your EOFY statement.
Please note that all commentary on tax implications by CoinSpot is generic in nature. We strongly recommend consulting with your Accountant or Tax Specialist to ensure that you are compliant with your own personal circumstances.
What does it mean if a coin has hit its Earn Cap?
If you have attempted to allocate a coin and the status shows it has reached its Earn cap, this indicates that our Earn Program has reached its maximum capacity for that specific token. Until the cap is raised, or other users have withdrawn their coins from the Earn Program, you will not be able to allocate the coin in question to Earn.
Will there be other coins added to CoinSpot Earn?
We are actively looking to add more coins to CoinSpot Earn. Please feel free to let us know on social media which coins you would like to see added.
What are the risks involved?
If the value of your coin drops whilst your assets have been allocated to Earn, there is no guarantee the rewards from your Earn loan will make up for the loss of value of your allocated coin. Please see our Terms of Use for more information.
What is the Difference between Staking and Earn on CoinSpot?
Staking is the process where users are given the ability to earn a percentage reward on their cryptocurrency by locking it over a period of time. This is done through a Staking Pool where coins are rewarded to users in proportion to their staked holdings.
With CoinSpot Earn, users can lend their coins to CoinSpot in exchange for a fixed rate, competitive interest payment on our list of available coins here. There are no fees or lock up periods for using CoinSpot Earn and those coins can be unallocated at any time.
There are no minimum or maximum amounts that CoinSpot users are able to allocate. Earn rewards will be in direct proportion to the amount of coins, and the length of time they have been allocated to CoinSpot Earn. Earn rewards will automatically be applied to the principle of the Earn loan, thereby increasing the total loan amount and your capacity to earn rewards. Rewards will be applied at midnight and will appear in your account by 10am.
The change provides CoinSpot with greater flexibility to grow and improve the feature, and the ability to provide a greater range of assets on which customers can generate a return.
CoinSpot Earn - Managing
Can I earn rewards from Ethereum (ETH)?
CoinSpot has recently added Ethereum (ETH) to the CoinSpot Earn Program. Users will be able to receive daily compounded rewards from the Earn Program. For further information on the APY % and Tiers for ETH, please have a read of our CoinSpot Earn - Ethereum (ETH) article.
What is the fee to use CoinSpot Earn?
There are no fees associated with CoinSpot Earn!
Is there a minimum or maximum Earn amount?
There is no minimum or maximum amount CoinSpot users can allocate to Earn, however, this is dependent on the Earn Cap as a whole.
Are there any lock up periods for CoinSpot Earn?
There are no lock up periods for using CoinSpot Earn. You are rewarded based on how long your coins are placed in CoinSpot Earn and those coins can be unallocated at any time.
How are Earn Rewards applied to my account?
Earn rewards are automatically applied to the principle of the Earn loan, thereby increasing the total loan amount and your capacity to earn rewards. Rewards will be applied at midnight and will appear in your account by 10 am. They will be in direct proportion to the amount of coins you have and the amount of time you have allocated them for.
Do Earn rewards need to be claimed manually or do they auto compound into your wallet balance?
Earn Rewards are automatically applied to the principle of the Earn loan, thereby increasing the total loan amount and your capacity to earn rewards. You will not need to manually claim your Earn Rewards, however, you will not have access to your Earn Rewards until your Earn loan is terminated. You can terminate or vary your Earn loan at any time.
CoinSpot Earn - Accessing
Is CoinSpot Earn available on the CoinSpot Mobile App and the CoinSpot Web Platform?
CoinSpot Earn will be available to users on both the CoinSpot Mobile App and the CoinSpot Web Platform.
How long does it take to remove and access my CoinSpot Earn holdings?
CoinSpot members have the flexibility to redeem their assets and rewards at any time. However, you will receive CoinSpot Earn rewards based on the period of time your coins have been allocated to Earn.
The longer you allocate your coins, the more rewards you will receive.
I have not withdrawn any balances. Why has the value of my wallet balance decreased?
As with all cryptocurrencies, the funds that have been allocated to CoinSpot Earn are still subject to conditions in the overall market and the changes within your wallet value will fluctuate based on these price movements.
Why can’t I trade my assets on CoinSpot Earn?
Once funds are allocated to CoinSpot Earn, they will not be available for trading until you terminate the earn loan. This can be done by signing into your account and selecting ‘end loan term’ in the wallet for the Eligible Earn Coin. There is no fee to withdraw, as well as no lock in periods for currencies in CoinSpot Earn.
