Can I just consider stablecoin staking / interest accounts (Anchor protocol, BlockFi) as my “savings account”? 7% of my liquid NW is in cash and 10% is in stables (rest is equities and other crypto). Hoping this is enough to pay expenses + tactically and periodically deploy into equities and crypto.

You know blockfi no longer allows new interest accounts right? That's reason enough to question the sustainability of stablecoin rates. The actual safety of them is another question. I personally only keep some extra money I can afford to lose. Up to you of course. You can use it as savings if you're comfortable with it.

Always remmember that any of these companies will take your cash in very fast. But to take money out is always slow - some type of verifications, and has daily, weekly, monthly limits.

Keep some money on the side of the more liquid form for emergencies.

Fair in terms of sustainability of rates - I think they were just arbing on other protocols to offer these rates, and now they’re struggling to keep it up. I guess I didn’t think of it as unsafe (either anchor or blockfi). I guess safest option would be to have a checking, savings (despite the abysmal APY), and count crypto staking / interest accounts as part of your total crypto portfolio

Very helpful - thanks a lot for the feedback and context here!

You can consider it as your savings account. Savings accounts have varying rates too.

Stock price has been cut in half since then, along with my RSU value. 😭 how do I cope?
