Interested in crypto, but not sure where to start?One of the easiest ways to dip your toes into the world of crypto investing is to use an app like Nexo to buy — and earn interest on — stablecoins like USDC (USDC is pegged to the USD, so it’s much less volatile than most cryptocurrencies).Nexo's current USDC interest rate is 8% — many times higher than what you’d earn in the highest-yield traditional online savings accounts. Note: when you use the links above, you’ll get $25 in free Bitcoin when you top up $100.(As always, this isn’t financial advice — invest at your own risk.)
