The central bank said Binance is not authorized to offer savings products.
Why are crypto savings plans in high demand in the US?
bitcoin savings
Binance, among the largest crypto exchanges in 2022 was issued a summons by the Central Bank of Uruguay. The summons was issued as the central bank sees crypto savings products that are issued by Binance can only be issued by banks or companies that are listed in Uruguay's stock market.
Binance is not authorized by the regulator to issue crypto savings products. The central bank requested Binance to stop marketing investment products as savings products and stated the following:
"The call to the general public for the application of their savings can only be done through financial intermediation institutions authorized to collect deposits in the market or as an issuer registered in the stock market registry."
Binance issued a swift reply to the central bank, and it has begun discussing the matter with the regulator according to recent reports:
"Binance reinforces that it is leading the way globally in the development of the crypto and blockchain ecosystem, working collaboratively with regulators, legislators, governments and law enforcement authorities to ensure the most secure environment."
At the time of writing, there are no cryptocurrency regulations in Uruguay.
High Interest in Crypto Savings
When Bitcoin was trading at around $2,000 several years ago, investors purchased the cryptocurrency as a long-term investment. The elderly bought Bitcoin as an inheritance for their children and grandchildren.
The majority of investors that entered the crypto markets following the BTC rally explored different methods for long-term investments. According to recent studies, Africa has the largest cryptocurrency market.
In South Africa, crypto is viewed as an alternative investment. In Nigeria, however, cryptocurrencies are used for savings. Due to NGN weakness against the US Dollar (currently trading around 415 NGN for 1 USD), Nigerians find stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum more attractive.
Any participants in the crypto retriment plan will only be allowed to use 20% of the funds for cryptocurrencies. At the time of writing, only Bitcoin will be offered in the 401(k) plans.
Other companies, such as Swan Bitcoin and Bitcoin IRA, are introducing crypto retirement plans due to the high-interest Fidelity has received for its Bitcoin plans.
Lending Cryptocurrencies Returns
Lending cryptocurrencies is another method used for long-term investments. Celsius was a top centralized crypto lending company before its collapse.
In crypto lending, investors deposit their cryptocurrencies on a lending platform in exchange for interest. Borrowers will often require lenders to deposit in order to obtain a loan (collaterlized) although some platforms offer uncollateralized loans (KYC is required).
For NFT holders, there are platforms that allow NFTs to be used as collateral for a loan such as NFTfi. On its official Twitter account, NFTfi says it surpassed 15,000 loans that were made on the platform. Individuals can be lenders as well, the platform is not solely for borrowers.
Like any investment, lending cryptocurrencies or NFTs have great risks. Security breaches have taken place in the past due to bugs in the smart contract's code despite security audits.
The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio must be sufficient and in an event of a sudden price drop, the protocol may struggle to sell the borrower's collateral at a fast pace, which will result in a loss for both lenders and borrowers.
Staking Cryptocurrencies
Staking cryptocurrencies is another yield-bearing method for investors. Staking is joining the validating process of transactions on a blockchain that uses PoS. Rather than mining, the staked (locked) cryptocurrencies are used to maintain the mainnet in exchange for staking rewards.
For Ethereum 2.0, 32 ETH are required to validate the network. Investors that do not have 32 ETH can join a pool for less and enjoy staking rewards. Centralized exchanges, such as Binance and Kraken, offer ETH pools. Additionally, eToro is offering staking in Ethereum 2.0.
Lido is among the most popular staking platforms. According to Genesis, the number of staked ETH on Lido has been rising.
Lido is currently offering 3.9% APR on staked ETH. A higher APR is offered for Kusama (20%) and Polkadot (16.5%). Polygon investors may earn 8.7% APR by staking their cryptocurrencies on Lido.
However, it is worth noting that ethereum 2.0 staked on Lido (stETH) cannot be exchanged back to ETH until the merge takes place. The incident where stETH de-pegged from ETH (the ratio is 1:1 but extreme conditions took place in June) has triggered a chain reaction that led to the collapse of Celsius (Celsius used stETH on aave for collateral and to borrow Ethereum).
Staking is not limited to Ethereum or the top mainnets. The majority of companies offer staking options for their tokens' holders. Stablecoins may also be staked for rewards.
As soon as there is a global consensus on crypto regulations, traditional institutions may consider offering crypto plans. The UK is among the countries that are making an effort towards regulating cryptocurrencies at a faster pace.
The progress is held back until a new Prime Minister is chosen at the beginning of September 2022. Plans may be composed of different sectors within the blockchain such as health, gaming, defi, tourism, green energy, security and metaverse.
The reason why the focus is primarily on Bitcoin is due to its liquidity, popularity, and the fact it is decentralized (as opposed to Ethereum).

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
