Case summary
What happened
Poloniex announced that it was rolling out Poloniex Earn on 28 December 2022 as a suite of cryptocurrency investment products, with the first Polo Earn subscriptions opening on 4 January 2023 at 00:00 UTC. Current product guidance describes flexible- and fixed-term products, daily interest, auto-subscription and redemption rules. Poloniex's introductory material characterises all Earn investment products as principal-protected, while launch and campaign notices also carry cryptocurrency high-market-risk warnings and disclaim liability for investment losses. CYA keeps the principal-protection statement attributed to Poloniex and does not convert it into a universal legal, custody or solvency guarantee. A March 2026 USAT Flexible launch confirms continuing operation.

Terms risk
Varies by product
Flexible and fixed-term mechanics, quotas, APYs and redemption rules vary by product. The launch-related risk warning is separately preserved in evidence `cya_src_b44_0006`.
- Affected product
- Poloniex Earn
- Confidence
- High
Poloniex's reviewed Earn materials describe subscription and redemption within the exchange but do not establish a universal segregated-deposit or trust structure across all Earn products. Poloniex characterises its Earn products as principal-protected, while separate first-party notices warn of high market risk and possible investment losses; CYA therefore retains principal-protection language only as an attributed product statement.
Known unknowns
Uncertainty
The 28 December 2022 date is the verified Poloniex Earn rollout date. The first Polo Earn subscriptions opened on 4 January 2023. Product-specific APY, quota, lock-up, redemption, supported assets and jurisdiction availability vary over time.
