Hm. I'm referring to smaller collateralized loans.

If it's a traditional asset, you should be able to go to a bank or other financial institution.
If you want to use bitcoin as collateral, Unchained does this but you have to over-collateralize (40% LTV). Others might do something similar but I'm unaware of them.

Yeah, I've heard of Unchained, and have been considering them as well as Nexo, but I remain skeptical of both.

Skeptical how? With Unchained at least, they can't unilaterally and opaquely rehypothecate your collateral because you hold a key to the collateral.

Didn't they cancel their lending product? Or did I hallucinate it?
Their website suggests it exists, which is a vote for the latter.

I had the same hallucination until I looked it up. They might've just increased the minimum or something.

Meh, I still don't trust it enough, they're also pretty expensive ain't it? Would you make use of their services?

I don't use credit. I'm too afraid of dooming my future self.
reply
Really? No credit at all, or just no big-ticket items that usually require credit?

I breath risk, but not of the bad kind.

Definitely don't touch Nexo. Very shady.

I guess the risk is very high in the case of Unchained or Nexo, while going to a bank for a loan you will pay high interests. It’s difficult to answer this question.
