BlockFi's interest is a very attractive offer, but the risks you're exposed to aren't very transparent.

What could happen that would impact the exchange rate of this 'Stable coin'? What risks exactly is one taking on for the 8.6% interest?

With crypto if it’s on an exchange then you can lose it. Not your keys and all that jazz.

Never worth the risk unless there is a legal insurance provided by the government which there isn’t.
