Lucky for both of us, the value prop isn't just "we are offering better interest rates on the same instruments because we gave up our cut"
It's actually "we found a way better set of instruments for long-term cash that allow us to offer better interest rates without giving up the cut altogether"
That being said, we do think the current treasury products can be a little predatory with their rates. For example, Rho charges a variable rate that peaks at 0.6% for any deposit of $2M or less. We think that's crazy so our margin is a flat 0.25%, no asterisks or fine print.
