Just providing some DPs. I was denied today with the reason given as "Bankruptcy". My FICO 8 scores are in the 700 range and my BK7 is 5+ years old. Utilization is 1% on $50K of available credit.
Fortunately BlockFi doesn't HP unless they make you an offer and you accept (like Apple/GS). I wish more issuers did the same!

I was interested myself so recently reviewed FAQs at BlockFi's website. BlockFi isn't able to setup a BlockFi crypto account (effectively an account for holding crypto currency) for people residing in NY. Apparently NY disallowa BlockFi from opening crypto accounts, and IIRC, from lending activities in NY also. I could be wrong, just my take after reading through FAQs.
When I used my NY address, I wasn't able to apply for the CC. I also have an address in RI so I switched to that and then the CC application link was available to me. It turned out to be a wasted effort because I was denied anyway due to my BK.
