BTCBacked

BTCBacked is a Swiss marketplace for non-custodial Bitcoin-backed loans. Borrowers unlock liquidity without selling their Bitcoin. Lenders put stablecoins to work and earn interest secured by Bitcoin collateral. The platform is non-custodial by design: collateral is held in a 2-of-3 multisig escrow where you, your counterparty, and BTCBacked each hold one key. Moving funds takes two signatures, so no single party, including BTCBacked, can move them alone. BORROW WITHOUT SELLING Lock Bitcoin as collateral and receive a stablecoin loan in USDT or USDC. Create a request with your preferred terms or accept an existing lender offer. Repay before loan expiry and your collateral is released back to you. Your Bitcoin is never reused, lent out, or rehypothecated. LEND AND EARN INTEREST Post an offer with your preferred rate, duration, and LTV, or accept a borrower request. Every loan is secured by Bitcoin collateral you can verify on-chain. Lenders pay no platform fees and keep 100% of the interest earned. CLEAR PRICING Interest rates are agreed between borrower and lender, not set by the platform. The borrower pays a platform fee of 1.5% of the loan principal per year of term, so the all-in APR is the agreed interest rate plus 1.5 percentage points. Loan terms run from 3 to 48 months and loans start at $1,000. A 5% liquidation fee applies only if a loan is liquidated (paid by the borrower). RISK MANAGEMENT BUILT IN Collateral value and LTV are monitored in real time. Borrowers get margin call warnings at 75%, 80%, and 85% LTV, with time to add collateral or repay. Liquidation happens only at 90% LTV or on default.
