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)

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

I meant maintenance ratio not LTV apparently

Still, 5% APR 75% LTV is really good, and I'm surprised that those terms are available for bitcoin loans (even if they're based on the ETFs). How long is the repayment period?

It's on margin so you just get hit with the juice every month against your portfolio equity
If you sell something it lowers your margin debit
