Borrow against your BTC collateral to obtain cash while maintaining full long-term exposure. Because you are borrowing—rather than disposing of—your assets, this structure allows for liquidity access without the tax consequences commonly associated with a sale. Your collateral remains native BTC and is held in isolation: not commingled, not swapped, and never converted to a wrapped asset.
Risk Warning: Borrowing against cryptocurrency involves significant risks, including but not limited to liquidation risk, market volatility, and potential loss of collateral. Please review all terms and conditions carefully before participating.
Regulatory Notice: Services may not be available in all jurisdictions. Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations. Lygos does not provide services to residents of certain restricted jurisdictions.
