Centralized Finance (CeFi): With a CeFi loan, a centralized crypto lending platform issues the loan assets and holds the collateral. Typically these issuers will work with qualified third-party custodians, who handle licensing, compliance, and all other requirements related to the custody of the underlying collateral.Decentralized Finance (DeFi): DeFi loans are peer-to-peer loans utilizing smart contracts to connect lenders and borrowers. Lenders deposit funds into liquidity pools, while borrowers post collateral to take loans out of the pool. Liquidations are handled automatically by the smart contracts.Security: Look for platforms with a strong security record, reputable custodians, and independent audits where possible.Compliance: Centralized lenders operating under recognised regulatory frameworks may offer greater transparency and consumer protections.Collateral support: Some lenders only accept bitcoin as collateral, while others support dozens of cryptocurrencies or even real-world assets such as residential property.Initial LTV: A higher maximum LTV allows you to borrow more against your collateral, but also increases the likelihood of liquidation if your collateral falls in value.Costs: Compare borrowing rates, repayment flexibility, and any additional fees before committing to a platform. The best platforms offer crypto-backed loans with no hidden fees.Features: Beginner users will likely want to stay within a familiar ecosystem with strong guardrails, while power users may prefer the advanced control offered by DeFi protocols.Liquidation: If the LTV ratio of a loan hits the liquidation threshold — meaning the value of the collateral is no longer sufficient relative to the loan size — then the lending platform can liquidate the position. This risk is especially pertinent to DeFi, where volatile asset prices and limited customer support mean liquidations can be quick and unexpected. Some platforms have inbuilt risk management tools, such as Figure’s Liquidation Protection*, which protects borrowers from margin calls or liquidations related to price movement.Counterparty Risk: CeFi platforms hold onto user funds, or entrust a dedicated custodian with doing so. A security breach, bankruptcy, or fund mismanagement at either of these entities could put user funds at risk.Smart Contract Risk: Although the lack of a middleman removes counterparty risk for DeFi protocols, they’re subject to additional risks surrounding the code they’re built from. A poorly coded smart contract could be exploited by an attacker to steal funds.Regulatory Uncertainty: Regulators are increasingly embracing crypto, and platforms such as Figure and Coinbase operate within strong compliance frameworks. However, crypto market regulation could be subject to further revisions and restrictions in future.Insurance Limitations: In the U.S., crypto deposits are not insured by the FDIC, meaning your assets are not protected by the federal government in the event of a platform failure. Private insurance policies can fill the gap, but the coverage offered can vary.Annual Percentage Rate (APR): This figure represents the interest that the borrower must pay on the loan. For example, a $10,000 loan with a 5% APR means they’ll pay an additional $500 per year in interest.Collateral: This is the asset posted by the borrower to secure the loan. For example, if a user deposits BTC into a protocol and takes out a USDC loan, the bitcoin is the collateral.Custodian: An entity tasked with safeguarding the collateral posted by borrowers. This can be the issuer themselves, or a third-party specialist such as Coinbase Custody.Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio: The percentage of your collateral's value that you can borrow. For example, if a borrower posts $100,000 of bitcoin to secure a loan with an initial LTV of 50%, their maximum loan size is $50,000. If the value of the collateral falls while the loan is active, the LTV rises.Liquidation: If the LTV ratio of a loan hits a certain threshold determined by the issuer (86% on Coinbase, for example), they may then sell off the collateral. A partial liquidation sees them sell off only a portion, while a total liquidation closes the entire position.Margin Call: If the LTV ratio of a loan is approaching the liquidation level, the borrower will receive an alert. This gives them time to repay the loan, or deposit additional collateral to bring the LTV down to a safe level.Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Custody: MPC custody splits a private key into independent shards, eliminating single points of failure. Firms utilizing MPC Custody, such as Figure, do not act as a custodian of the borrower's crypto but provide the technology for a borrower to encumber their own crypto in a decentralized MPC self-custody segregated wallet while it serves as collateral for a CBL. MPC custody is designed to prevent any single point of failure or counterparty risk associated with traditional custodial models.Rehypothecation: In simple terms, this is when lenders take the collateral posted by customers and use it to generate additional yield, often by pledging it as collateral for their own loans. Although this practice can bring down costs for borrowers, it introduces another significant layer of risk.
