Best platform for bitcoin backed loan?
I want to borrow (>100k) usd against my stack and want to know who folks are using for this at the moment. I don’t wanna use defi as wrapping my bitcoin would be a taxable event (plus risk of what happened with Aave last month). Based on my research to date I’m looking more closely at:
- Ledn - Seems strongest on track record and transparency
- Strike - I like Jack Mallers
- Nexo - Seems like best rate (but don't understand the loyaltly tiers)
The rate is obviously critical, but prepared to pay slightly more to mitigate risk of an FTX-type situation.
Other things I'm looking for:
- Liquidation protection tools for price volatility
- General platform ease-of-use / simplicity
- No monthly repayments
Note: Based in Florida
