1. Zero Coupon (3 mo) T-bills are yielding 5.2% (Cusip: 912796XY0). You can ladder these and get up to the 9 mos if you want. The extra 0.3% at NASA (assume $10k deposit) is worth $22.
2. Munis - I am seeing Munis (around 9 mos expiration) yielding 4% - these are tax exempt, so 4% / (1-your tax rate) to get after tax yield. These 4% therefore are close to 6%, but there is some risk in munis.
3. Is it worth it - so for each 0.5% increase in yield on a CD (assume you deposit $10k), you get an extra $37. If your bank has a 5% CD and you go through the hassle (I am assuming it is a hassle) to open a new account to get the 5.5%, is the extra $37 worth it to you. That is the real qs.
Just my $0.02. Peace

I have another question:
Current APY shows 5.5% for 9 months.
What happens after maturity?
If I want to roll over my money to the next term, will it be same APY or will it vary (considering the interest rates changed after 9 months)?
Again, I did not mean to start any problems; just saw an opportunity to make a joke. I hope you're okay and I didn't offend you.
Good luck with that, please post to the crypto bank Certificate of Deposit thread next time. Oh wait, there isn't one...
On a side note, I think it's the crypto "famous for being famous" crap that is responsible for the bubble in the market overall, and it likely will bring down more banks to come. Hope to hell it could be contained in those godawful markets and exchanges but I fear the virus has spread...

I'm fortunate enough to have a good career, "normal investments", and a few other things going on.
If crypto were to disappear, I'd certainly be upset. Hell, I'm upset I didn't sell when BTC was nearly $70k. It is what it is.
I believe that in the long run, some form of crypto currency will replace the current standard. I don't know home many years or which coin.
edit:
In response to your comment about crypto being 'hackable,' it depends on which currency you are referring to. In addition, they technically aren't 'hacks.' Most of the time it was a compromised account (Sim swap, dictionary attack, prior password breach via another avenue (think FB posts)).
Some crypto did have holes, but they weren't 'hacks.' Mkre like leveraging the system, which has happened plenty of times in the history of the US (prior recessions, depressions)
Furthermore, and addressing your comment regarding your crypto being secured by the government or any other agency - thus is why crypto always beloved in "not your keys, not your coins." If everyone stored their coins in cold storage, there would be fewer thefts of crypto.
it isn't fair to a newbie, as they may not understand cold wallets. They just want to trade like a regular stock. That's part of the problem.
Eventually, the crypto community will have to devise a way to Keep it Simple. once they achieve that, it will further grow and perhaps be backed by the full faith and government of [insert here].
Without that happening (and it's certainly a lot), I believe crypto will stay in limbo and be considered a risky asset.
I wouldn't BUY any crypto currencies as it is a huge risk, especially at this point (or in the past 4 - 6 years, excusing the dump in 2020 when BTC was around 2.5k-3k).
Again, I was very lucky to get in early, when mining was reasonably profitable. If anyone reading this is interested in buying crypto, please do your own research and don't 'invest' more than you care to lose. Personally, I'd consider it a casino at this point, despite my belief that it has merits and will eventually become a trading platform where there is no need to convert to USD/CAD/etc

Crypto Jeeniuses have wrecked us all
Why they come to troll a real bank finance thread for people trying to counteract their damage is beyond me. Well, they got nothing better to do praying for crypto revival I guess...

It's tough to predict. For example if it's 5.5% for 12 months and rates drop severely where after the 12 month maturity, all you have are 12 month CDs at 4%...then a 5% for 24 months may have been better if you consider the entire 24 months as a whole.
