Real Estate Crypto

Lenders typically advance a percentage of the value of your cryptocurrency portfolio. Minimum crypto holdings usually start around $120,000–$150,000 (or equivalent), but higher-value portfolios are often required for larger loans.

Common cryptocurrencies accepted include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Cardano (ADA). Loans are generally capped at 50% of the crypto’s value. Collateral must be maintained throughout the loan term, with additional crypto required if values drop. Missed payments may result in the partial liquidation of the crypto collateral.

• Liquidity Without Selling: Unlock capital without converting crypto into cash.
• Portfolio Diversification: Acquire real estate while retaining digital assets.
• Tax Efficiency: Borrowing may be more advantageous than selling crypto, helping manage capital gains tax exposure.
• Speed: Underwriting is focused on crypto collateral, allowing faster approvals than traditional lending.

Crypto-backed loans are particularly beneficial for investors with substantial digital assets but limited liquid cash.

• Limited Lender Availability: There are fewer lenders available, making negotiation challenging.
• Volatility Risk: Price fluctuations can trigger margin calls or necessitate the provision of additional collateral.
• Higher Rates: Due to perceived risk and lower competition, interest rates may exceed those of traditional mortgages.
• Loan-to-Value Constraints: Maximum LTV is typically 50%, limiting borrowing relative to crypto holdings.

Working with a broker like Enness helps maximize borrowing potential and secure competitive rates in this niche market.
