Bitrue is running a promotional flexible-staking offer for new users, paying 10% annual percentage rate on deposits of USDT, USDC, or RLUSD up to $25,000. The exchange is layering an additional 3% APR on top for users who put their accumulated daily rewards back to work, rather than letting them sit idle.
The structure amounts to a two-tier yield: a base rate on the initial stablecoin deposit, plus a secondary rate on the interest that deposit generates, provided the user opts to compound rather than withdraw. Bitrue frames the offer around a simple three-step flow: opt in, deposit, and let the rewards accrue automatically.
Why Exchanges Are Competing on Stablecoin Yield
Stablecoin staking promotions like this one have become a common customer-acquisition tool across centralized exchanges, as platforms compete for deposits in a market where stablecoin supply has continued to grow even during periods of broader crypto price weakness. Offering above-market APR on a capped deposit amount lets an exchange attract new user sign-ups and deposits without committing to the higher rate indefinitely.

The inclusion of RLUSD alongside the more established USDT and USDC is notable, reflecting the growing number of exchanges adding newer stablecoin issuers to their supported asset lists as the stablecoin market has diversified beyond the two dominant incumbents.
As with most promotional staking offers, the elevated 10% rate applies only to new users and is capped at the $25,000 deposit threshold; balances above that level, or deposits from existing users outside the promotional terms, would earn Bitrue's standard flexible-staking rate instead.
