How to Get a Crypto Loan Without Selling Your Assets

Cryptocurrency investors often find themselves in situations where they need cash but don’t want to sell their digital assets. Selling crypto can trigger taxable events and potential losses if the market rebounds. Instead, crypto loans offer a way to access liquidity while keeping your assets intact. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get a crypto loan without selling your holdings.

What is a Crypto Loan?

A crypto loan allows you to borrow money using your cryptocurrency as collateral. These loans are typically offered by crypto lending platforms and work similarly to traditional secured loans. You deposit your crypto with the lender, and in return, you receive cash or stablecoins, which you can use as needed. Once you repay the loan with interest, you get your crypto back.

How to Get a Crypto Loan

1. Choose a Crypto Lending Platform

There are various platforms that offer crypto-backed loans, including:

  • Nexo
  • BlockFi
  • Aave
  • Binance Loans
  • YouHodler

Each platform has different interest rates, loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, and terms, so compare them carefully before deciding.

2. Check the Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio

The LTV ratio determines how much you can borrow against your crypto. Most lenders offer LTVs ranging from 20% to 70%, meaning if you deposit $10,000 worth of Bitcoin, you can borrow between $2,000 and $7,000. Lower LTVs reduce the risk of liquidation if the market drops.

3. Select the Crypto to Use as Collateral

Most platforms accept major cryptocurrencies such as:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • USDT and USDC (stablecoins)
  • BNB, Solana (SOL), and other altcoins

Choose an asset that you’re comfortable locking up for the loan duration.

4. Apply for the Loan

After selecting a platform and collateral, follow these steps:

  • Create an account and complete KYC verification if required.
  • Deposit the crypto you wish to use as collateral.
  • Specify the loan amount based on the LTV ratio.
  • Select the repayment period and interest rate.
  • Review the terms and confirm the loan.

5. Receive Funds

Once approved, funds are usually disbursed in stablecoins (USDT, USDC) or fiat currency (USD, EUR) to your linked bank account or wallet. Some platforms also offer instant withdrawals.

6. Repay the Loan on Time

To reclaim your crypto, you need to repay the loan amount along with interest. If you fail to repay, the lender may liquidate your collateral, meaning you’ll lose your crypto.

Pros and Cons of Crypto Loans

Pros:

  • No need to sell your assets
  • Quick access to cash
  • Lower interest rates than credit cards
  • No credit checks required
  • Potential tax benefits (since you’re not selling your crypto)

Cons:

  • Risk of liquidation if crypto prices drop
  • Interest rates may be high for some assets
  • Not all cryptos are accepted as collateral

Final Thoughts

Crypto loans are a great way to access funds while holding onto your digital assets, but they come with risks. Always borrow responsibly and choose a reputable platform. By managing your loan effectively, you can leverage your crypto holdings for financial flexibility without losing ownership.
