Bitrue, a global cryptocurrency exchange, has launched a flexible staking offer for new users covering XRP, BTC and USDT. Eligible users can receive up to 10% APR on a set amount of each asset for 45 days, with no lock-up period.
The offer runs through Bitrue’s flexible staking product, part of the exchange’s Earn suite. Funds remain redeemable at any time, and rewards are calculated and distributed daily.
How the new-user offer works
The offer uses a tiered rate structure. The highest rate of 10% APR applies to the first portion of each user’s staked balance, while amounts above that level earn lower rates. Rewards from each tier are calculated separately and then combined.
The tiers for each asset are as follows:
| Asset | First tier | Second tier | Above second tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| XRP | Up to 1,600 XRP at 10.00% | 1,600 to 8,000 XRP at 3.00% | 0.84% |
| BTC | Up to 0.025 BTC at 10.00% | 0.025 to 0.12 BTC at 3.00% | 1.08% |
| USDT | Up to 2,000 USDT at 10.00% | 2,000 to 10,000 USDT at 5.00% | 3.60% |
The bonus rates apply for 45 days. Interest begins accruing on the day after a user subscribes, and the first payment arrives two days after subscription. Rewards are then distributed daily at 16:00 UTC.
The minimum amount to join is 0.35 XRP, 0.00001 BTC or 0.5 USDT, which allows users to start with a small balance.
What “flexible” means
Unlike fixed-term staking, flexible staking does not lock funds for a set period. Users can redeem their balance at any time and subscribe again later, as long as capacity for the product remains available.
There are a few timing rules to note. Interest is calculated each day between 16:00 and 18:00 UTC, and funds redeemed during that window do not earn interest for that day. Partial-day interest is not paid when funds are withdrawn midway through a day.
After the 45 days
When the bonus period ends, it closes at 18:00 UTC on the final interest payment day. Funds are then either redeemed automatically or moved into Bitrue’s standard flexible Earn product for the same token, depending on the user’s settings.
At the time of writing, Bitrue’s standard flexible rates were 0.70% APR for XRP, 0.90% for BTC and 3.00% for USDT. Rates on Earn products are adjusted over time based on demand and market conditions.
Why XRP, BTC and USDT
The three assets in the offer play different roles in a typical crypto portfolio, which gives new users a choice of how they want to hold their balance during the bonus period.
XRP
XRP has a long history on Bitrue. The exchange built much of its early user base around XRP trading and continues to list a broad range of XRP pairs. Many XRP holders keep their tokens for long periods, and flexible staking gives them a way to earn on idle balances without committing to a lock-up.
BTC
Bitcoin remains the largest digital asset by market capitalization and is often the first cryptocurrency new users buy. Including BTC allows users who hold Bitcoin as a long-term position to earn on a portion of it while keeping it available to sell or transfer.
USDT
USDT is the most widely used stablecoin and is pegged to the US dollar. For new users, it offers a way to take part in the offer without taking on exposure to the price swings of other crypto assets. USDT also serves as the main settlement currency for trading on Bitrue, so balances held in flexible staking can be redeemed and used for trading when needed.
A new user can subscribe to one, two or all three products, and each asset has its own 10% tier. Users holding several assets can therefore spread their balance across products rather than concentrating it in one.
A worked example of the tiered rates
Because the 10% rate applies only to the first tier, the effective rate on a larger balance is lower than 10%. Two simple examples show how the tiers combine over the 45-day bonus period.
Example 1: 2,000 XRP
A new user who stakes 2,000 XRP would have 1,600 XRP in the first tier at 10.00% APR and the remaining 400 XRP in the second tier at 3.00% APR.
On an annualized basis, the first tier would generate 160 XRP and the second tier 12 XRP, for a combined 172 XRP. That works out to an effective rate of 8.60% on the full balance. Over 45 days, the total would be about 21.21 XRP, or roughly 0.47 XRP per day.
Example 2: 5,000 USDT
A new user who stakes 5,000 USDT would have 2,000 USDT in the first tier at 10.00% APR and 3,000 USDT in the second tier at 5.00% APR.
On an annualized basis, the two tiers would generate 200 USDT and 150 USDT, for a combined 350 USDT and an effective rate of 7.00%. Over 45 days, the total would be about 43.15 USDT, or roughly 0.96 USDT per day.
What the examples leave out
These figures are simple illustrations. They assume the balance stays unchanged for the full 45 days, that the published rates do not change and that no funds are redeemed during the daily calculation window.
Rewards are paid in the same asset that is staked. For XRP and BTC, the value of those rewards in US dollar terms will move with the price of the asset, which can rise or fall during the bonus period.
How to participate
New users can join the offer in a few steps:
- Register a Bitrue account and complete the required verification.
- Deposit or buy XRP, BTC or USDT.
- Open the flexible staking page and select the new-user product for the chosen asset.
- Enter an amount at or above the minimum and confirm the subscription.
- Track daily rewards from the Earn account, and redeem at any time.
“New users often arrive with a balance they are not ready to trade yet,” said Tia, Earn Product Manager at Bitrue. “This offer gives them a simple place to hold XRP, BTC or USDT while they get to know the platform, with the freedom to redeem whenever they need their funds.”
Terms and risks
Bonus rates, tier limits and product capacity are set by Bitrue and may change, and the latest terms published on the product page apply. Each product is available while capacity remains.
APR figures describe the annualized rate applied to a staked balance and are not a forecast of an asset’s price. The value of XRP and BTC can rise or fall during the bonus period, which affects the value of both the staked balance and the rewards paid in that asset.
Users should confirm their eligibility as new users, product availability in their region and the full terms on the Bitrue platform before subscribing.
