Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson promoted Step in an Oct. 17 video, saying he had deposited $175,000 into each winner’s account. Step’s video description says it is not a bank; Evolve Bank & Trust provides its banking services. Beast Industries acquired the financial app in February 2026.
Step currently advertises no crypto features. Beast Industries previously expressed interest in adding decentralized finance to an upcoming financial services platform, but did not say whether that platform was Step. Step’s terms, last updated Sept. 26, 2026, no longer include a section on crypto rewards, though other provisions still list cryptocurrency as a possible reward when available.
