Is Coinbase USDC better than savings account?

Coinbase offers a 5% APY on USDC. Is investing in this coin a better option than placing our funds in a traditional savings account? I am currently using this as a savings account. Can you suggest which is a better alternative to this? TC: đŸ„œ #savings #personalfinance #investments

As long as they don't pull an FTX one day

Coinbase can, has, and will change those rates at a moment’s notice. Plus, storing large amounts of money on a CEX is never safe - even Coinbase. Savings accounts will give similar rates, and MMF’s will beat it. While being safer.

Tbil is at 5.5%. How is coinbase backing better than US government’s backing?

Crypto is even more made up than the governments made up money.

USDC is linked to US dollar and is a stable coin right and I can withdraw it within 2 to 3 days in case i need that money.

I am getting 5.25% with UFB savings account. It’s FDIC insured upto 250k I don’t see a reason to invest in crypto that gives 5% 
 crypto isn’t good for environment either
