However, at present, crypto interest rates can be up to 8.6%<\/a> for savers. As well as that, passive gains are also possible through crypto asset staking. According to stakingrewards.com<\/a>, this can be as high as 38%. Or 15% for more established projects such as Icon.<\/p>\n

Not only are negative interest rates an unconventional policy, but in the grand scheme of economic theory, they are a relatively recent phenomenon too.<\/p>\n

Sweden’s central bank was the first to use a negative rate<\/a>. In July 2009, Riksbank cut its overnight deposit to -0.25%.<\/p>\n

This was followed by the ECB in June 2014, when it lowered its deposit rate to -0.1%. Since then, the ECB deposit rate has sunk further, currently, it’s at -0.5%.<\/p>\n

Chief Economist at think tank OMFIF, Danae Kyriakopoulou<\/a> remains skeptical. He pointed out that negative rates did not achieve the central banks’ inflation target. What’s more, the knock-on effects, such as keeping asset prices inflated, only work to prop up a false economy.<\/p>\n
