Crypterium has a total token supply of more than 99 million CRPT coins, with a circulating supply of more than 84 million CRPT tokens.

New registered users of Crypterium are eligible to take part in this scheme. While this above-market yield is available for new accounts, all existing clients of Crypterium Wallet can still access the standard rate of 5.4% APY on all CRPT deposits.
New users need to open a savings account. CRPT saving accounts are highly secured. Apart from being a license-holding, fully-regulated financial institution registered in the European Union, the accounts are insured by BitGo, one of the global leaders in institutional custody services for digital assets.

A Year in Review
In 2020, Crypterium took multiple initiatives to augment its ecosystem in the world of cryptocurrency and beyond. One of the notable features introduced by the wallet was in the form of AI-based daily prediction of prices on the Crypterium wallet. The AI-based predictive models will project the future prices of assorted crypto-assets as chosen by the user. The feature will show a performance summary of the asset for a period spanning the past 30 days and will make predictions on the price for the next 24 hours. However, the predictions should be seen as more as guidance than a hard entry point.
In a bid to expand its utility, Crypterium launched a Crypto Loan service in 2020. People owning Bitcoin or Ethereum can avail of these loans collateralizing their assets. The service facilitates instant approval of USDT loans in less than a minute. The loans are available at 0% APR or annual percentage rate. To make it stand out from its competitors, Crypterium started approving multiple loans at the same time. There is the guarantee of 100 million dollar bank-grade security standard custodial assets that work as insurance against the lending.
We will have to wait and see how these services pan out for Crypterium in consolidating and expanding its user base in the future.
