If anyone asks you about the main bump in the road of crypto-backed lending, which one would you name? The CoinLoan team has a definite answer to this question. The main thing that prevents cryptoassets from being perfect collateral is its crazy volatility.
Just imagine. Today your collateral value is two times higher than your loan and you feel pretty safe. Tomorrow your crypto drops suddenly and overnight is in danger of margin call. The example above might be vastly exaggerated, but nobody can deny that crypto-fluctuations get on borrower’s nerves.
Good news, CoinLoaners. We’ve developed a revolutionary Dynamic Collateral Monitoring System. It allows overcoming the problem of cryptocollateral movements and raising the maximal LTV limit to 70%.
CoinLoan Collateral Monitoring System
If your collateral price falls, LTV (loan-to-value ratio) grows. In case of significant decline, you can repay the loan earlier or add extra collateral. We used to sell a part of your cryptocollateral if the LTV ratio of the loan reaches 80% and you do none of the above.
It’s a usual approach for crypto-backed lending platforms, it helps to bring the situation back into balance. But it’s so far from perfect since borrower loses his savings. Over the past year, we’ve been testing new visions and working on liquidation system improvement. Today we’re excited to present a new solution that allows increasing the liquidation threshold significantly.
How It Works on CoinLoan
In a nutshell, your cryptocollateral is now far less vulnerable to crypto fluctuations. A margin call may only occur if your LTV ratio crosses the line of 90%. The exact point of liquidation is estimated for each loan individually and depends on the interest rate.
Window of Opportunity
The fact that cryptocollateral can now resist market fluctuations allows us to have one of the highest LTVs on the market and to raise LTV limit from 60% to 70%.
While most competitors still have a 50% LTV limit, we improve the collateral monitoring system so that CoinLoaners can borrow more fiat for the same amount of crypto. Thus, providing crypto worth $1,000 as collateral, now you can borrow up to $700 in fiat currencies.
