Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before taking a BTC-backed or ETH-backed loan.

What is the minimum loan amount?+
The minimum loan amount is $5,000.
What are Better Lending’s rates for bitcoin loans?+
Ledn's bitcoin-backed loan rates start at 11.9 APR, with lower tiered rates available automatically as your loan size grows — down to 9.99% APR for loans of $1,000,000 or more. Your rate is displayed upfront before you apply, no negotiations required.
Can I repay my loan early?+
Yes. You can repay early based on your loan agreement terms, and eligible collateral is released after settlement.
Are there monthly payments?+
Repayment structures may include periodic payments or maturity-based settlement depending on your selected product.
What is the starting LTV?+
The starting LTV is 50%.
How is collateral managed at Better Lending?+
The collateral you post to secure your loan may only be re-posted by Ledn to a trusted institutional USD funding partner, such as a bank, credit fund or other corporate funding partner.

Collateral is held securely in segregated on-chain addresses that are verifiable by Ledn, ensuring that the collateral is legally ring-fenced from a funding partner’s assets and protected even in the unlikely bankruptcy of our funding partner.

Collateral is held securely in custody throughout the loan. Neither Ledn nor the institutional partner has the right to lend out your collateral to generate interest.
What currency can I get my loan in?+
Loan currency options are USDT and USDC.
How do I get a Bitcoin-backed loan?+
Create an account, complete verification, apply for a loan, deposit collateral, and receive funding after approval.
How long does it take to get a loan?+
We confirm loans in less than 2 hours once collateral and verification are complete.
What happens if my collateral drops in value?+
If LTV rises above your threshold, you may be asked to add collateral or reduce balance to avoid liquidation.
Is there a credit check?+
No. Better Lending does not require a traditional credit check for collateral-based loans.
