Figure Crypto-Backed Loan About

Figure’s crypto-backed loan is a 12-month US dollar loan from Figure Lending LLC, secured by Bitcoin, Ether, or Solana. The rate is fixed for the term, loans start at $5,000, and approval needs identity verification and a soft credit pull.

The advertised rate is 9.999% APR at 50% initial loan-to-value (LTV), rising to 12.62% APR at 75%. Standard loans get a margin call at 80% or 85% LTV with 48 hours to cure, but at 90% Figure can sell the whole collateral balance. Optional Liquidation Protection, for a 2% fee, holds off price-based sales on some BTC and ETH loans.

Pledged crypto sits in a loan-specific MPC wallet, and Figure says it does not reuse collateral. The loan is unavailable in nine states and the District of Columbia.
