Founded in October 2021, the company currently offers a simple and stable income opportunity where users can earn up to 13 per cent per annum on their deposited funds. Flint doesn't expose users to volatile crypto assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum. It only deals with stable cryptocurrencies like USDT, USDC, etc., that are free from crypto price fluctuations.

"Flint's mission is to make cryptocurrencies easy and accessible to everyone. As a brand, we simply intend to demystify crypto, provide easy-to-use products and introduce a billion people to our inevitable future.

"We believe the Flint team brings the right background in building consumer products," said Aakash Kapoor, VP, Sequoia India.

Flint is a global crypto investment app, which brings together passive income generating opportunities in the crypto market. Flint is ideal for investors looking to get crypto exposure but do not have enough time to do active buying/selling of tokens.
