Unlike traditional loans that take into account your credit score, Nexo offers a crypto-backed Credit Line that uses your digital assets as collateral. Once you add Bitcoin to your portfolio, you can immediately access your Credit Line. You have two options to receive your loan.

.The amount you can borrow against your Bitcoin is determined by the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio. For example, with $50,000 in collateral and Bitcoin's LTV of 50%, you can borrow $25,000 in digital assets.
The maximum amount you can borrow is $2,000,000 per day, while the minimum borrow amount is $50 in stablecoins (USDT, USDC) or $500 via bank transfer.

The availability and processing time of your Bitcoin loan depend on the transfer method and type of currency you select.
Your Bitcoin loan interest rate is determined by your Loyalty Tier, which depends on the percentage of NEXO Tokens against the rest of your portfolio. To unlock Nexo’s Loyalty Program benefits, including reduced interest rates, your portfolio balance must be at least $5,000.
Base: No NEXO Tokens are needed; the interest rate on your outstanding Credit Line balance is 18.9%.
Silver: The ratio of the NEXO Tokens in your account against the rest of your portfolio must be at least 1%; the interest rate on your outstanding Credit Line balance is 17.9%.
Gold: The ratio of the NEXO Tokens in your account against the rest of your portfolio must be at least 5%; the interest rate on your outstanding Credit Line balance is 13.9%.
Platinum: The ratio of the NEXO Tokens in your account against the rest of your portfolio must be at least 10%; the interest rate on your outstanding Credit Line balance is 10.9%.
If your portfolio balance drops below $5,000 for seven consecutive days, your loan will be subject to an 18.9% interest rate, regardless of your NEXO Token ratio.

Your Loan-to-Value (LTV) changes as the market value of your collateral goes up or down.
If your collateral's value rises, your Credit Line limit increases accordingly. You can choose to borrow more, keep your current Credit Line unchanged, or use the additional value of your Bitcoin to repay part of your credit.
If your collateralized assets decrease in value, your LTV will rise, meaning you may need to add more collateral or make a repayment to avoid automatic loan repayments. If your LTV reaches the 83.33% mark, partial automatic repayments may occur to rebalance the LTV ratio.

Keeping an eye on your account during market fluctuations is important. If the value of your collateral drops significantly, its Loan-to-Value (LTV) will rise, increasing the risk of automatic loan repayment.
To avoid this, you can proactively add more collateral to your Nexo account or make partial or full loan repayments.
Nexo’s advanced algorithm monitors your crypto-backed loan 24/7, ensuring your Credit Line remains in good standing and taking action when needed. If your LTV ratio is above 70% and continues to increase further, you may receive a margin call via email or push notification asking you to top up additional crypto assets or repay part of your loan to prevent automatic loan repayment.
If your LTV hits a critical threshold, partial automatic repayments may be triggered to restore the balance of your LTV ratio. To help you preserve as much of your digital assets as possible, only the minimum required amount of crypto will be sold.
