Two portfolios within one account
Within self-investing, we offer two portfolios, Vault and Earn, each designed for a different approach. You can use both portfolios side by side and easily transfer your crypto assets between them. This gives you full control and flexibility.
Our portfolios
Vault
Vault is your default portfolio. Your crypto is fully segregated from Amdax's own assets through a separate foundation and held on a 1-to-1 basis in our digital Vault. This gives you complete control and immediate access. From Vault, you can trade crypto assets and earn additional rewards through staking.
Please note: Investing in crypto assets involves risks. Prices are volatile and you may lose your investment. Trade responsibly and stay informed about the risks.
Our portfolios
Earn
Many bitcoin investors hold their position for years. With Earn, you put your bitcoin to work. You don't pay a service fee on the assets you hold in Earn. That way you keep more of your assets, without having to actively manage anything.
You decide for yourself which part of your bitcoin you place in Earn. Want to make your bitcoin available for other purposes again? You can easily move it back to your Vault.
Services in Vault
Custody
Your crypto assets in Vault are held securely in a regulated environment, stored on a 1-to-1 basis, and always immediately accessible.
Trading
Trade 40 carefully selected crypto assets from your Vault. Buy and sell easily via our app or web platform, in the way that suits you best.
Staking
Lock up crypto assets from your Vault in exchange for additional rewards. We handle all the technical work — you benefit from the compounding effect.

Investing in bitcoin: which strategy works best?
Suppose you have a substantial amount of money available to invest in bitcoin. Is it a good idea to invest the entire amount at once, hoping for the best? Or are you better off spreading the amount over a longer period, gradually building your portfolio? Different investment strategies have their advantages and disadvantages, and choosing your strategy can have a big impact on your portfolio.
FAQs

While bitcoin and ether are our main focus, we also offer a diverse range of other crypto assets. On this page you'll find more information about the different crypto assets you can store, trade, and stake with Amdax.

Vault and Earn are two portfolios within one environment, each designed for a different approach:
Vault is your default portfolio for self-investing. From Vault, you trade crypto assets and can earn additional rewards if you choose staking. Your crypto is always held on a 1-to-1 basis within the foundation and is never lent out. An annual service fee of 0.6% applies to Vault.
Earn is designed for lending your crypto assets to Amdax Yield B.V., a sister company of Amdax. Amdax Yield on-lends these crypto assets to professional counterparties and generates income from this. That income covers operational costs, making Earn free of charge. Trading and staking are not available via Earn.
You can transfer (part of) your crypto assets between Vault and Earn at any time.
-
Vault carries a service fee of 0.6% per year on the crypto assets held. This is calculated daily and charged monthly. No service fees apply to Earn.
In addition to service fees, transaction costs apply. Please refer to our fee schedule for a full overview of all rates.
-
Within Earn, you lend your crypto assets to Amdax Yield B.V. Amdax Yield on-lends these assets to carefully selected professional counterparties and receives a fee in return. That fee covers the operational costs of Earn, which is why we do not charge service fees.
-
No. Trading and staking are only available from Vault. If you want to trade or stake, simply transfer your crypto from Earn to Vault.
-
When withdrawing crypto assets from Earn, a delay of up to 7 days may occur in certain situations depending on market conditions. For Vault, crypto assets are always immediately accessible. For crypto assets that are being staked, a waiting period may apply when you wish to unstake.
-
All client assets are held within the custody environment of the Foundation. Within that, a separate environment has been set up for Amdax Yield, which holds its own custody space as a client of Amdax. When you lend your crypto to Amdax Yield, ownership transfers to Amdax Yield. The Foundation then holds the crypto on behalf of Amdax Yield, and no longer on your behalf. In return, you have a contractual right to the redelivery of the same type and amount of crypto.
-
Earn is an unregulated service offered by Amdax Yield B.V., a sister company of Amdax. Amdax Yield does not hold a MiCAR licence. The protections that apply to your Vault portfolio do not apply to Earn.
The key risks are: your crypto temporarily transfers to Amdax Yield and is no longer covered by the Foundation's protections. If Amdax Yield or any of its counterparties fails to meet its obligations, you risk not recovering some or all of your crypto. Please read our Risk Warning and the Lending Terms carefully before using Earn.
-
MiCAR regulates crypto asset services such as custody, trading, and asset management. The granting and entering into of crypto asset loans currently falls outside the scope of MiCAR. The Lending Terms therefore apply to Earn, governed by Dutch law.
