Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our crypto-backed credit services
Supported Assets
What cryptocurrencies do you accept as collateral?
We accept BTC, ETH, XRP, and major stablecoins including USDC, USDT, and DAI. Each asset has different LTV (loan-to-value) ratios based on volatility—stablecoins have higher LTVs (up to 90%) while volatile assets like BTC and ETH have lower LTVs (typically 50-65%).
Can I deposit multiple types of crypto?
Yes, you can deposit multiple assets as collateral. Your total credit line will be calculated based on the combined value of all your deposits, weighted by each asset's LTV ratio.
Do you support other cryptocurrencies?
We're continuously evaluating additional assets. Currently, we focus on BTC, ETH, XRP, and major stablecoins to ensure security and liquidity. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified when we add new supported assets.
Repayment Options
Can I repay with a different crypto than my collateral?
Yes! One of our key features is flexible stablecoin repayments. Even if your collateral is BTC, ETH, or XRP, you can repay your credit line with USDC, USDT, or DAI. This allows you to manage your debt without selling your appreciating assets.
Can I repay with fiat currency?
Yes, we accept USD repayments via ACH transfer or wire transfer from US bank accounts. Fiat repayments typically take 1-3 business days to process.
Are there early repayment penalties?
No, there are no penalties for early repayment. You can pay down your balance at any time without fees. You only pay interest on the outstanding balance for the time you've borrowed.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We don't have traditional monthly payment requirements. However, you must maintain adequate collateral. If your collateral ratio falls below the maintenance threshold, you'll need to either add more collateral or repay part of your balance to avoid liquidation.
Tax Considerations
Is borrowing against crypto a taxable event?
In the United States, borrowing against crypto is generally not considered a taxable event. Unlike selling, you're not disposing of your asset—you're using it as collateral for a loan. However, tax laws vary and change. Always consult a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation.
Is the interest I pay tax-deductible?
Interest deductibility depends on how you use the borrowed funds. If used for investment purposes or business expenses, the interest may be deductible. Personal interest (e.g., for consumer purchases) is generally not deductible. Consult your tax advisor for guidance.
What if my collateral gets liquidated?
A liquidation is a sale of your collateral, which may trigger capital gains or losses for tax purposes. You would report the difference between your cost basis and the liquidation price. This is another reason to maintain healthy collateral ratios.
Do you provide tax documents?
We provide transaction history and statements that you can use for tax reporting purposes. However, we do not provide tax advice or prepare tax documents. You are responsible for your own tax compliance and should work with a qualified tax professional.
Security
How are my crypto assets protected?
We use institutional-grade security measures including multi-signature wallets, cold storage for the majority of assets, 24/7 monitoring, and comprehensive insurance coverage. We prioritize security over convenience—we'd rather be cautious than fast.
Are my funds insured?
Yes, we maintain insurance coverage for digital assets held on our platform. This covers losses due to theft, hacking, or other security breaches. Note that this is different from FDIC insurance (which covers traditional bank deposits) and does not cover market losses.
What happens if your company goes bankrupt?
Customer assets are segregated from company operating funds. In the unlikely event of insolvency, customer funds would not be considered company assets. We maintain reserves and operate conservatively to protect customer interests.
Do you have security audits?
Yes, we undergo regular security audits from reputable third-party firms. We also maintain ongoing security monitoring and have a bug bounty program for responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities.
