Cryptocurrency collateral loans provide a way to unlock liquidity from cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin without triggering a taxable sale. Related platforms are divided into two modes: centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Leading platforms include: Ledn, a CeFi platform for Bitcoin holders with a strong security record, offering a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) of 50% and interest rates of approximately 9.99%; Aave, a mainstream DeFi protocol supporting over 120 tokens with variable interest rates; and Nexo, a CeFi service accepting over 100 collateral assets with interest rates ranging from 11% to 19%. Key risks differ: CeFi involves trust in the platform and regulators, while DeFi carries smart contract risks and liquidation risks.
