Do any of you guys trust these high APY offered by companies like Voyager, donut and Celsius?

Seems too good to be true. Only cash in USD is FDIC insured.

I'm too scared to take the chance

There is risk of the company going bankrupt or a massive liquidation event causing issues. I have all my cash that would be sitting in a bank, on Celsius in a stable coin getting 8.88% interest. I have some of my bitcoin and LINK there as well. However, I'm more conservative than many in the crypto thread so I only have a small percentage of overall funds staked.

I have my emergency fund sitting in savings and thinking of taking a chance of some of the cash. Voyager is offering 9% on USDC.

I'd trust voyager the least out of them all fwiw

I've used Celsius blockfi and nexo for two years now and zero issues

blockfi is owned by fidelity I believe

Definitely trust it and love it. I got my crypto interest today - 102 ADA just for holding it with Voyager.

Blockfi is not owned by fidelity. They just have a business deal.

Blockfi custodian is Gemini.

Voyager is a publically traded company with very high aspirations. I trust Voyager over nearly all the competition.

Voyager will soon offer usdc debit accounts that pay up to 10.5% interest.

I'm loving the yields Voyager pays me each month.

FYI, you can get the same return by staking it, and it can be staked on a cold wallet.

Can you explain to a crypto-third-grader why you split up between the 3? Risk management against some type of foul play? Tia

BlockFi is backed by the likes of Susquehanna, Bain Cap, Tiger Global, and SoFi. In my mind they're the most reputable firm with the least left-tail risk, but the rates are compressed a bit compared to the others. Celsius / Voyager juice their returns by issuing their own tokens. Not a sustainable model in the long run but hey, get it while the getting's good
