Why BTC-Backed Loans?
Bitcoin is increasingly recognized as a compelling store of value. Now, Onramp clients can tap into the value of their bitcoin holdings without needing to liquidate positions or experience taxable events.
By using your BTC as collateral, you can access liquidity—whether for large purchases, business operations, or other spending needs—while avoiding taxable events and preserving potential upside in bitcoin’s market value.
