São Paulo, May 20, 2025 – To celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day, Nubank announces the waiver of fees on all cryptocurrency trades on its platform for 24 hours, starting at 8 a.m. on May 22. This promotion is valid for all customers who use the Nu app for crypto operations.
Pizza Day commemorates the anniversary of the first commercial transaction with Bitcoin, which occurred in 2010 when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz used 10,000 units of the cryptocurrency to purchase two pizzas. According to the story, this was the first time someone reported using digital currency to acquire a physical good.
Customers who take advantage of Pizza Day will also have the opportunity to explore the crypto asset portfolio. This year, the fintech has doubled its token offerings, totaling 29 digital asset options and expanding investment possibilities. In addition to the fee exemption, Nubank has invested in enhancing its crypto experience.
The platform already offers features that simplify transactions and reward customers. Discover some of the conveniences below:
- Reduced Fees: The fee for the first purchase on NuCripto is just 0.2%. Subsequently, the amount depends on crypto asset purchases and sales over the last 45 days. The higher the trading volume, the lower the fee.
- Scheduled Purchase: Set the amount, frequency, and optimal day for purchases through the app. The account balance is used to execute the operation.
- Price Alerts: Activate the tool to receive notifications whenever the value of your desired crypto asset rises or falls.
- Cryptocurrency Swap: Trade all crypto assets for the digital dollar USDC—and vice versa. The exchange occurs directly with reduced fees. Access this function within the cryptocurrencies section of the app by clicking the "Swap" button on the home screen.
- USDC Rewards: The program offers daily returns on a minimum balance of 10 USDC in wallets, with a fixed rate of 4% yearly. To start receiving rewards, access the crypto wallet in the Nubank app and click "I Want to Participate." This feature can be activated or deactivated at any time. Returns are credited automatically every day, and liquidity is immediate.
- On-Chain Deposits and Withdrawals: Users control their own funds thanks to the integrated, secure, and efficient on-chain transfer functionality, which allows customers to withdraw BTC, ETH, SOL, and USDC and receive deposits in these tokens.
