BlockFi a crypto lending platform that allows its users to receive interests by just depositing funds on their platform. They have recently announced that they will no longer require minimum deposits on the list of cryptocurrencies that earn interest on their platform.

They have been also paying their users weekly interests for depositing any amount of cryptocurrencies on the app.
Furthermore, CEO of Celsius Network Alex Mashinsky reacted on the recent announcement of BlockFi by posting a Tweet saying:
Competition between BlockFi and Celsius is heating up
Competition is always better for the industry and for its users. Both BlockFi and Celsius may find other ways to provide better services for their users because of the current situation. We don’t know what are the plans of the two platforms at this stage.
We are on an exciting phase within the crypto lending industry as these two platforms are competing hard to be the best crypto lending platform.
