Borrow Against SOL, XRP, BTC, ETH, MATIC and BNB

Altcoin-backed lending: MATIC, XRP, BNB, and SOL are accepted as collateral on BetterLending.net Bitcoin receives most of the attention in crypto-backed lending — but it is not the only asset that can be used as collateral. Holders of MATIC, XRP, BNB, and SOL face the same fundamental liquidity challenge as Bitcoin holders: they hold assets they believe will appreciate, and selling means exiting a position they intend to maintain. BetterLending accepts all four as collateral, allowing holders to borrow against MATIC, XRP, BNB, and SOL without selling a single token. The mechanics of altcoin-backed loans follow the same structure as Bitcoin-backed lending — collateral deposit, LTV calculation, loan disbursement, real-time monitoring, and repayment — but with one critical difference: altcoins carry higher price volatility than Bitcoin, and that volatility directly affects how quickly LTV escalates during a market correction.

What Actually Triggers Liquidation in a Bitcoin-Backed Loan? BetterLending Research Desk  ·  Liquidation Mechanics & Collateral Risk  ·  Updated May 2026 Direct answer: Liquidation in a Bitcoin-backed loan is triggered when the loan-to-value ratio (LTV) rises above the platform's liquidation threshold — typically between 83% and 90% LTV.
