Castle Opens Bitcoin Savings Platform to Individuals With Flexible BTC Dividend Option

Castle, the company known for an automated bitcoin financial stack built for businesses, is opening its platform to individual users. The rollout brings its yield product to personal accounts and adds a feature the company says is new for the category: customers can choose how much of their dividend income they want to receive in bitcoin versus cash. The yield is tied to STRC, Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock, which Castle added earlier this year and which currently pays a 12% annual dividend on a semi-monthly schedule. According to Castle, users can take 100% of the payout in cash, 100% in bitcoin, or split it at any ratio they choose. The company said many customers opt for a middle-ground approach, using cash distributions to cover expenses while automatically converting the rest into bitcoin at each payout. Until now, Castle had served businesses only, ranging from restaurants and gyms to SaaS firms, real estate businesses, and non-profits. Co-founders Stephen Cole and João Almeida said demand from business customers helped drive the launch for personal accounts. Castle is backed by Boost VC and Winklevoss Capital.

Lido revises EarnETH fee model, cutting management fee and raising performance-based charges

Lido has updated the fee structure for its EarnETH Vault, replacing the previous fixed model of 1% assets-under-management (AUM) fee plus a 10% performance fee with a more flexible framework tied more closely to product performance. Under the revised structure, the fee schedule can go up to 0.5% AUM plus a 20% performance fee. At launch, however, the vault will use a lower starting rate of 0.2% AUM and a 15% performance fee. According to Lido, the drop in the management fee from 1% to 0.2% is intended to reduce holding costs for users during lower-yield periods, while the higher performance fee is meant to align protocol revenue more directly with the vault’s actual results. Lido also said all currently effective fees will be displayed transparently in the EarnETH Vault interface. The change is aimed at refining the pricing mechanism for the EarnETH yield product and making the fee structure more flexible.

Bitget launches Cash Plus with USDT and USDC support

Bitget has rolled out Cash Plus, a platform-level yield product designed to offer flexible stablecoin returns. The product initially supports USDT and USDC and is positioned around three features: yield generation, liquidity, and capital efficiency. Users earn returns with daily compounding while keeping the ability to redeem at any time on a 1:1 basis, with funds credited in real time and no fees or principal loss from redemption. At launch, Cash Plus carries a reference annual percentage rate of 4% APR, though Bitget said actual returns will adjust with market conditions. The exchange also said it plans to integrate the product into its Unified Trading Account, or UTA, in the third quarter. Once that integration is completed, balances held in Cash Plus will continue to earn yield while also being usable directly as trading margin, allowing the same capital to serve both earning and trading functions.
