Best MATIC (Polygon) Interest Rates of Dec 2024

Best MATIC Interest Rates

The table above compares the best MATIC interest rates. As you’ll notice, there are base rates and max rates. Since the max rates often have certain requirements, such as locking the asset for a fixed amount of time, the best Polygon interest rate will depend on your willingness to fulfill any of those requirements.

For example, platform A might have a higher base rate than platform B, but platform B can offer a higher max rate if you lock your MATIC for one month. So the best MATIC interest rate would depend on your willingness to lock the asset.

Where To Earn the Highest MATIC Yield

The max APY column will show where you can earn the highest MATIC yield, depending on your willingness to fulfill any requirements specified. Some platforms also have tiers, as specified, so you may only be able earn the highest MATIC interest rate on the first X amount of MATIC.

In addition, there is a toggle above the table where you can change the location between United States and International. The platforms and Polygon rates may change for US vs non-US. The table also includes other details relevant to determining the highest MATIC interest rates, such as pointing out when a platform is unavailable in a specific US state.

Best MATIC APY / Best MATIC APR

The table shows MATIC rates in APY (Annual Percentage Yield) by default. However, some platforms advertise their rates in APR (Annual Percentage Rate), so the table will specify when rates are in APR. APY takes into account compound interest, while APR does not. If a platform has MATIC rates in APR, you can use tools like this to convert MATIC APR to MATIC APY.

For earning yield, staking MATIC is sometimes used interchangeably with lending MATIC. So those looking for the best MATIC staking rates to earn interest might be looking for the best MATIC lending rates to earn interest. With the CeFi platforms covered here, you are lending your MATIC to centralized entities, as a way to earn yield on MATIC.

Best MATIC Interest Account / Best MATIC Savings Account

CeFi platforms are sometimes referred to as crypto interest accounts or crypto savings accounts (though very different from traditional bank accounts). The best MATIC interest account / best MATIC savings account might vary based on an individual’s preferences and situation.

For instance, some platforms have tiers, so what might be ideal for one person, might be less ideal for someone with a much higher amount of MATIC. You also wouldn’t want to use a platform that you believe is too risky, even if everything else seems ideal.
