As far as I know only interest you can earn on Coinbase is from staking coins - and Coinbase actually takes a portion of that profit for themselves.

I remember looking at all of these now defunct businesses wondering just how they could have such high interest rates on your coins. In what should be a surprise to no one it was too good to be true.

If someone offers a risk-free return way above the prevailing risk-free interest rate… there are some risks that aren’t being disclosed. Everybody forgot that for a little while.
