"Forget Revolut, Neobanks are Bitcoins Next Big Move"
Blockrise offers services such as payments and asset management, and allows users to withdraw their Bitcoin at any time. It earns from access and execution rather than holding clients' assets.
Lazet highlights Bitcoin-backed loans as a key priority, enabling users to borrow against their BTC without selling, and they are collaborating with lending partner Arkade to develop these products.
Blockrise Is Already Walking the Walk: Europe's First bunq BaaS Deal
The bunq partnership is where the thesis meets the product. Blockrise has launched Euro IBAN bank accounts for its users, powered by bunq's Banking-as-a-Service platform, making it the first company in Europe to deploy bunq's BaaS infrastructure.
In plain terms: Blockrise handles the Bitcoin-native user experience; bunq provides the licensed banking plumbing underneath, including deposit protection up to €100,000 per user under the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme.
What users get is a single account that bridges their Bitcoin holdings and their day-to-day euro banking, salaries in, bills out, BTC managed alongside. Bunq's BaaS model lets crypto platforms outsource the licensing and compliance burden while staying focused on self-custody and Bitcoin-specific features that differentiate them.
Traditional banks integrating crypto services are moving in the same direction from the other side – but they start from custodial assumptions, not self-sovereign ones.
Blockrise currently supports Bitcoin and Ethereum, with custody and management fees of up to 1% each, plus a 15% performance fee on managed strategies.
The pricing model is evolving toward a subscription structure similar to Revolut's tiered plans – another signal that the target isn't crypto maximalists, it's the mainstream user who wants simplicity without surrendering control.
