Nubank recently introduced Earn Crypto, a staking-based service enabling users to earn rewards on selected cryptocurrencies through the Nubank app.

Initially, this feature is available for Solana (SOL), with an attractive promotional rate of 6% that is valid for a limited time. Users can monitor their performance directly within the Nubank application. The Brazilian digital bank explains that this service aims to assist customers in generating additional value from their idle digital assets by earning rewards that grow the quantity of held coins over time.

Rollout of Earn Crypto is progressing gradually across eligible users, with most expected to have access by May 2026. Nubank has announced plans to add more cryptocurrencies to the product in future updates but has not provided details on specific assets or exact timelines beyond Solana.

Phased rollout and broader context

This launch places Nubank alongside other neobanks and digital platforms that have incorporated crypto-native features into their consumer financial applications. Staking involves depositing cryptocurrency to support blockchain operations in return for periodic rewards, a strategy gaining popularity as an alternative to active trading.

Operating across Latin America, Nubank has been expanding its cryptocurrency offerings through its Nubank Cripto vertical. Integrating staking rewards into the consumer app aligns with industry trends toward consolidating digital asset services within traditional financial platforms, thus reducing user dependency on separate crypto exchanges or wallets.

The availability of this feature in the existing Nubank application and the phased approach indicate that the company is carefully handling both technical capabilities and regulatory considerations as it scales the product across its users. Additionally, Nubank remains committed to aligning with evolving market needs while adhering to regulatory requirements and laws.
