How To Withdraw From Blockfi In Singapore

Blockfi Withdrawal Singapore

While you are continuing to earn interest on your cryptocurrencies with your Blockfi account, you may be deciding to cash out your crypto back to SGD.

Since Blockfi does not support direct SGD withdrawals to your bank account, the 2 methods would be to either withdraw a cryptocurrency or USD from Blockfi.

Here’s a guide to help you get started:

How to withdraw from Blockfi in Singapore

Here are 4 steps to withdraw from Blockfi in Singapore:

  1. Select a platform that supports crypto-SGD trading pairs
  2. Copy the deposit address from the platform of your choice
  3. Select the currency that you wish to withdraw on Blockfi
  4. Enter the transaction details and review the withdrawal

And here is each step explained further:

Select a platform that supports crypto-SGD trading pairs

Since Blockfi does not support SGD on their platform, you will need to send your cryptocurrency to a platform that you can sell it for SGD.

There are a few crypto exchanges that you can consider sending your crypto to:

  1. Zipmex
  2. Gemini
  3. Luno
  4. Coinhako
  5. Coinut
  6. Tokenize
  7. Crypto.com (App)
  8. Independent Reserve
  9. XanPool

Here are the fees that you’ll incur when trading on each platform:

You’ll need to consider the currencies that each platform supports too! For example, some of the platforms may not support USDT, such as Luno.

Copy the deposit address from the platform of your choice

After you have selected which platform you will be withdrawing to, you can proceed to copy the deposit address from that platform.

For example, I am copying the deposit address from my Gemini account for Bitcoin.

Gemini Deposit BTC Address

Select the currency that you wish to withdraw on Blockfi

After you have copied the deposit address, the next step would be to go to ‘Withdraw‘ on Blockfi’s platform,

Blockfi Select Withdraw

and then select which cryptocurrency you would like to withdraw.

Blockfi Select Currency To Withdraw

Enter the transaction details and review the withdrawal

The next step will be to enter how much of the cryptocurrency you wish to withdraw.

You may also want to take note of the minimum withdrawal you will need to make for the cryptocurrency.

After that, you will be asked to review the withdrawal details before you confirm the withdrawal.

Sell your cryptocurrency for SGD and withdraw from the platform

After you have received the cryptocurrency in the platform of your choice, you can sell it off for SGD. You can view my guides on how you can withdraw SGD from the different platforms, including:

  1. Coinhako
  2. Crypto.com
  3. Gemini

What are the fees for withdrawing from Blockfi?

Blockfi offers one free crypto withdrawal per calendar month. This helps to reduce the fees that you’ll incur, as some withdrawal fees can be rather high!

As such, you should try to only perform one withdrawal a month, to take advantage of this free withdrawal.

Can I withdraw USD from Blockfi to a Singapore bank account?

It is possible to withdraw USD from Blockfi to a Singapore bank account. However, the minimum to withdraw is $5,000 USD, and you will incur a $30 withdrawal fee from Blockfi.

Blockfi allows you to withdraw a few stablecoins as USD to your bank account in a 1:1 ratio. Some of these stablecoins include:

However, you are unable to withdraw DAI or USDT to your bank account.

It may not be advisable to withdraw USD from Blockfi, because:

  1. The minimum to withdraw is $5,000 USD
  2. Blockfi charges you a $30 withdrawal fee
  3. Your bank may charge an incoming transfer fee

For example, DBS charges a $10 incoming fee for any incoming foreign currencies from a foreign account.

Due to the high amount of fees that are being charged, it would only make sense if you are intending to withdraw a large sum of money from Blockfi.

If you still wish to withdraw USD, don’t forget to withdraw it to a Multi-Currency Account. Otherwise, the USD will be exchanged for SGD, which will be done at the bank’s exchange rate.

You can view my guides on exchanging and then withdrawing USD using Tiger Brokers to obtain a more favourable exchange rate.

Conclusion

If you intend to withdraw your cryptocurrencies from Blockfi, the best way would be to withdraw a cryptocurrency and then sell it back to SGD on another platform that supports SGD trading pairs.

Furthermore, it would be best to only make one withdrawal a month to take advantage of the free withdrawal that Blockfi offers.

While it is possible for you to withdraw USD from the platform, the fees are rather high and would only make sense if you are intending to withdraw a large sum of money!
