You can get a 5% APR margin loan, with only a 25% LTV, in pretty much any size with ETFs
That tool for speculative attack is a huge magnet for coins, there's nothing else even close
Can you please ELI5?

AFAICT, a 5% APR (annual percentage rate) loan at 25% LTV (loan-to-value ratio) means:
- If you put up $100k of your bitcoin ETFs up as collateral, you can borrow up to $25k with an annual interest rate of 5%.
(Putting your ETFs up as collateral means that if you fail to repay your loan, they confiscate your ETF shares)

You can borrow 75k

That would make it 75% LTV, no?
5% APR 75% LTV is actually really good, almost like a mortgage.

Wow. Who is offering this?
reply
Robinhood for one, who I've honestly been pretty impressed with after moving a few things there there...
When researching rates Interactive Brokers was pretty close IIRC too.

I need to login to Robinhood again
is it 5 or 6 percent?
reply
LTV for IBIT is 25%, the others seem to be 30%

If you have room at the end of the year on your tax deductions moving some each year tax free is a good strategy
