Best crypto bonuses and promotions in May 2025
Crypto is big money — and there's potentially free money in it for you if you're looking to try out a different crypto exchange or new to investing in crypto. Worldwide, the crypto market cap is $3.4 trillion as of May 21, with Bitcoin holding about $2.16 trillion of that value, according to CoinMarketCap. Demand is high, and one way crypto exchanges compete for your business is by offering bonuses and promotions that you can add right into your account or portfolio. It's helpful to know the best offers so you can decide what crypto exchange you may want to invest with and if it's a good time to take advantage of an offer. Coinbase: up to $200 Gemini: $75 in crypto tastytrade: $50 and up eToro: $10 Robinhood: Free stock Coinbase is one of the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges. If it's your first time signing up and creating an account, you can get up to $200 in crypto or U.S. dollars. However, some terms and conditions must be met. Within the first year of opening an account, you must add a payment method (such as a bank account or credit card) and buy any cryptocurrency that you want. Complete those steps and within two days you'll receive the amount and type of cryptocurrency for the promo code you redeemed. You can also earn perks from referrals, such as an additional crypto bonus or reduced fees. If you decide to go with Gemini, which offers an array of crypto coins, you can earn up to $75 in the crypto of your choice or a percentage of trades for making a referral. Each friend must be a new Gemini user and sign up using your referral link. Your referral has to make a minimum trade of $100 in their first 30 days, then you both get $75 in crypto. If your referral trades $5,000 or more, you both get a kickback on their trades for a year, starting at 15 percent. Don't have a referral? You can still get a $50 Bitcoin reward when you sign up for Gemini and trade $100. Tastytrade is a brokerage platform that may appeal to active traders looking to buy and trade securities with low fees. Tastytrade offers 23 coins, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and Solana. New customers who open a tastytrade account and use MYNEWBONUS as the referral code will be eligible to receive a tiered cash bonus. To get the $50, you will need to add at least $2,000 to the account in cash or through an account transfer. You can earn $100 for a minimum deposit of $5,000, $500 for $25,000 and $2,000 for $100,000. Tiers go up to a $5,000 bonus for a $1 million deposit. This promotion ends Aug. 31, 2025, and is limited to new customers who are older than 18, live in the U.S. and are not existing customers. IRAs are not eligible. With eToro, users can find some of the best features of a crypto exchange and traditional broker plus the ability to follow other traders' holdings and activity. For new users, eToro is offering a $10 bonus in crypto (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash or Ethereum) or cash depending on where you live. To be eligible, you must open a new account, have it verified and make your first deposit. Better yet, get a friend to refer you to eToro, and you could both get $30 after you open an account and deposit $100. Does crypto make sense in your portfolio? A financial advisor can work with you to create a balanced portfolio that meets your short- and long-term goals — and Bankrate's AdvisorMatch can help you connect with a CFP® professional. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option and want to trade crypto in the same place as stocks, Robinhood might be a good option. Robinhood may not offer as many options when it comes to crypto, but the brokerage does have some perks. When you open an account or invite a friend, you'll receive a stock reward. The cash value you receive could be anywhere between $5 and $200, though approximately 99 percent of customers will get stock worth $5. You can use this reward to claim a fractional share of a stock that you can hold or sell within a few days. If you're looking to invest in crypto, which is super volatile, be sure to have your finances in order first and decide if crypto makes sense for your portfolio. Also, a sign-up bonus is only as good as the intention behind it. An account you will use is more beneficial than a bonus in an account that doesn't work for you.

In addition, investors are advised that past investment product performance is no guarantee of future price appreciation.

eToro's Nasdaq Debut Marks a Turning Point for Fintech IPOs
Shares of eToro surged 29% to close at $67 on its first day of trading on the Nasdaq, valuing the Israeli trading platform at approximately $5.4 billion. The company raised nearly $620 million by selling 11.9 million shares at $52 each, exceeding its initial target of 10 million shares priced between $46 and $50. This strong market entry reflects renewed investor optimism amid a broader rebound in the IPO market. BlackRock played a pivotal role as a cornerstone investor, expressing interest in purchasing up to $100 million in shares. Other firms like Robinhood, Chime, Figma, Aspen Insurance, and American Integrity Insurance have also entered or planned to enter the IPO market, signaling a revived appetite for public listings. Founded in 2007 by Yoni Assia and his brother, eToro focuses on mobile stock and crypto trading, boasting 40 million users across 75 countries. In 2024, eToro reported a significant leap in net income to $192.4 million from $15.26 million in 2023, with revenues also climbing from $3.43 billion to $12.64 billion. Assia highlighted the importance of profitability and user engagement, particularly during market volatility, in driving the company's success. The company's U.S. operations, however, are currently limited to trading in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash due to a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission . In September 2024, eToro agreed to pay a $1.5 million fine to settle charges that it operated as an unregistered broker and clearing agency. As part of the settlement, eToro restricted its U.S. crypto offerings to the three aforementioned cryptocurrencies and provided users with a 180-day period to liquidate or transfer other crypto assets. See also Investors Pull $1.3 Billion from Gold ETF Amid Market Shifts Despite these limitations, eToro's global operations remain robust, with the company offering over 100 crypto assets to users outside the U.S. The platform's unique social trading features, which allow users to share strategies and mimic top investors, have contributed to its popularity, with over half of its funded accounts engaging socially on the platform in 2023.

Pi network price soars 35% to $1.29 amid whale activity, exchange listings
Listen to article Pi Network's native token, Pi Coin, surged by 35% in the past 24 hours, hitting $1.29 and crossing a market capitalisation of $8 billion, according to data from CoinMarketCap. This rally pushed Pi ahead of well-established cryptocurrencies like Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). The dramatic price increase was triggered by a wave of whale activity, with over 90 million Pi coins reportedly moved across exchanges. These transfers resulted in a 278% spike in trading volume, which soared past $1 billion, drawing strong retail interest. Pi Coin's rise also comes amid growing speculation about a Binance listing, following what users are calling "test transactions" on the platform. The Pi Core Team is reportedly buying Pi from exchanges to stabilise prices after recent distributions, while a major announcement is expected on May 14, fuelling further market optimism. Technical indicators suggest strong bullish momentum. Pi Coin has maintained position above key Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and has signalled continued upward movement via the MACD and RSI indicators, despite the latter suggesting overbought conditions at 91.61. If current trends hold, Pi Network could break resistance at $1.35 and target $1.80, a key level from March. While fundamentals and market sentiment appear strong, analysts advise caution due to limited transparency, questions around the project's mainnet status and past scam allegations. Still, Pi's remarkable performance places it firmly in the spotlight among top-performing altcoins this week, alongside Kaspa (KAS) and Peanut (PNUT), amid a broader crypto market rally.

$12 Billion Firm's Co-Founder Says Gen Z Employees "Makes Me Want To Pull My Hair Out" But...
Quick Take Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Crypto firm Paradigm hired 19-year-old Charlie Noyes as a disruptor. Noyes, an MIT dropout, arrived late to his first meeting, surprising leaders. He has since risen to general partner, showing unconventional success. When San Francisco-based crypto investment giant Paradigm hired its first Gen Z employee, they didn't quite know what they were signing up for. Charlie Noyes, a 19-year-old MIT dropout, showed up five hours late to his very first morning meeting, a move that left co-founder Matt Huang both frustrated and intrigued. "They create an absurd amount of chaos sometimes, and you want to pull your hair out," Huang admitted in an interview with Colossus. "But then you see what they can do, and it's like, nobody else in the world could pull that off." Today, Noyes is 25 and has risen to become a general partner at the $12 billion firm, proving that unconventional beginnings can lead to extraordinary results. Huang recalls first connecting with Noyes in a Telegram chat about Bitcoin Cash forks, initially mistaking the sharp-witted teenager for a middle-aged crypto veteran. "From his messages, I thought he was a 40-year-old with a beard. When he showed up for dinner, I was shocked he was just 19." Noyes' journey began even earlier; he discovered Bitcoin at age 12 through gaming communities and, by 19, was already a published researcher and a two-time Intel science competition winner. After brief stints at school and MIT, he dropped out to join Paradigm, diving headfirst into the crypto world. Huang admits that integrating Gen Z talent like Noyes wasn't smooth at first. Early on, Noyes believed that "critiquing pitch decks over email and turning up at the office once a week" was standard practice. But once expectations were realigned, the results spoke for themselves. Paradigm's roster now boasts several young prodigies. Its CTO, Georgios Konstantopoulos, joined just two years after graduating from college and has since become one of crypto's most prolific engineers. Another star is a developer known only by his Discord handle, @transmissions11, whom Paradigm recruited while he was still a student. Huang likens managing this team of brilliant but unconventional minds to running a school for superheroes. "Sometimes I feel like I'm running the X-Men Academy," he quipped. And Paradigm is far from alone. Globally, more companies are learning to embrace Gen Z's unconventional style. As Geoffrey Scott, a senior hiring manager at Resume Genius, told Fortune, "They bring a unique blend of talent and bold ideas that can rejuvenate any workforce. Gen Zers might have a bad rep, but they have the power to transform workplaces for the better."

‘Makes me want to pull my hair out': This $12 billion company boss says he's frustrated with Gen Z employees-but…
When Charlie Noyes , then a 19-year-old MIT dropout, showed up five hours late to his first morning meeting at Paradigm , most employers might have sent him packing. Instead, the $12 billion San Francisco-based crypto investment firm saw something others didn't. Today, Noyes is a general partner at the company at just 25. #Pahalgam Terrorist Attack Nuclear Power!

Airspace blockade: India plots a flight path to skip Pakistan 'From his messages, I thought he was a 40-year-old with a beard, very cynical and craggy,' said Matt Huang , co-founder of Paradigm, recalling their first interaction in a Telegram chat about Bitcoin Cash forks. 'When he showed up to dinner, I was really surprised he was 19.' That first impression was only the beginning. Noyes had already been steeped in crypto since the age of 12, discovering Bitcoin through gaming forums. He'd published research in crypto applications and won Intel's science competition twice — before ever stepping foot in a university. After briefly attending MIT, he dropped out to join Paradigm. 5 5 Next Stay Playback speed 1x Normal Back 0.25x 0.5x 1x Normal 1.5x 2x 5 5 / Skip Ads by Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads View Deals Undo At first, the workplace wasn't quite what Noyes expected. 'He thought opining on pitch decks over email and coming to the office once a week was normal,' Huang told Colossus. But once expectations were made clear, Noyes thrived. By 2020, he had already identified MEV (Miner Extractable Value) as a critical issue in blockchain architecture, leading Paradigm to invest in Flashbots — a key player now shaping Ethereum's $450 billion ecosystem. Unconventional minds, powerful impact But Noyes is just one example in Paradigm's line-up of unconventional hires. The firm's Chief Technology Officer, Georgios Konstantopoulos, joined two years after graduating college in 2018 and is now regarded as one of the most prolific engineers in the crypto world. Then there's a developer known only by his Discord handle, transmissions11, reportedly discovered by the firm while still in school. Live Events 'They create an absurd amount of chaos sometimes and you want to pull your hair out,' said Huang. 'But then you see what they can do and it's like, holy crap. Nobody else in the world could do that.' In fact, Huang likens his job to something out of a comic book: 'Sometimes I feel like I'm running the X-Men Academy .' A broader trend across industries Paradigm is not alone in betting on younger, unfiltered talent. Gen Z, born between the late 1990s and early 2010s, has a growing reputation for clashing with traditional office culture. Late arrivals, refusal to work unpaid overtime, and demands for quick promotions are some of the common complaints. According to a survey by Intelligent, one in six companies hesitates to hire Gen Z workers. Even some Gen Zers admit their generation is the hardest to work with. Still, the very qualities that make Gen Z challenging also give them an edge in fast-moving industries. 'They bring a unique blend of talent and bold ideas that can rejuvenate any workforce,' said Geoffrey Scott, senior hiring manager at Resume Genius. 'Gen Zers might have a bad rep, but they have the power to transform workplaces for the better.' Adapt or be left behind Psychologist Tobba Vigfusdottir, who heads the workplace wellness platform Kara Connect, warns that companies unwilling to adapt may fall behind. 'Companies really need to wake up and smell the coffee,' she told Fortune. 'The companies that will survive are listening and letting them in, because they're changing things.' According to Vigfusdottir, organisations should offer more flexible working policies, environmentally conscious practices, and jobs with clear purpose if they want to attract and retain Gen Z talent — especially as baby boomers exit the workforce. Other big names betting on Gen Z Matt Huang isn't the only one making bold bets on Gen Z. Thrive Capital founder Josh Kushner, who launched his firm at 26, says he prefers hiring people with less than four years of experience. At the time, he knew older industry veterans wouldn't want to work for someone so young, so he instead hired 'the smartest people that we knew who were our ages.' That approach led Thrive Capital to early investments in major companies — including OpenAI, now valued at over $300 billion. Even today, Kushner continues to favour younger hires. 'I'd still rather find that young, hungry person who's willing to run through walls like we were ten years ago.' best known for fronting the Black Eyed Peas, is another high-profile Gen Z backer. A seasoned tech investor who got in early on Tesla, OpenAI, and Pinterest, he believes the next wave of breakthroughs will come from young minds at institutions like MIT and Stanford. 'They're young kids, and they're native to this,' told Fortune. 'So you want to hunt for that. That's the only thing I'm focused on.' While many employers may still be cautious around Gen Z, leaders like Huang, Kushner, and are embracing their creativity, curiosity, and disruptive energy. The chaos they bring may be maddening, but it's also fuelling the next generation of transformative innovation. As Matt Huang put it plainly: 'Nobody else in the world could do that.'
