What is Borrowing Against Crypto?
Borrowing against crypto allows investors to secure loans by using their cryptocurrency assets — such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or USDC — as collateral. This approach provides liquidity without requiring the sale of assets, preserving potential future gains.
Which Crypto Assets Can I Use as Collateral?
Bitcoin (BTC) is the most widely accepted collateral — nearly every platform on this page accepts it. Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) are also widely supported. Some platforms accept a broader basket including XRP, Litecoin, DOGE, and stablecoins. Use the coin selector above to filter by your specific asset.
Why Borrow Against Crypto?
- Tax efficiency: Borrowing is generally not a taxable event — you avoid triggering capital gains by not selling.
- Retain upside: Your collateral stays in your name. If your asset appreciates, you still benefit.
- No credit check: The loan is secured entirely by collateral value, not your financial history.
- Fast funding: Most platforms fund within 24–48 hours of collateral confirmation.
Risks to Consider
- Liquidation: If your collateral's value drops below the maintenance margin, the platform may sell it to repay the loan. Stay below 50% LTV for a safe buffer.
- Platform risk: CeFi platforms hold your crypto. Research custody arrangements before depositing large amounts.
- Interest: Rates range from ~3% to 18%+ APR depending on the platform and LTV selected.
