How Do Celsius Dollar Loans and Crypto Collateral Work?
Bob needs $33,000 to get his blockchain startup off the ground, so he joins the Celsius loan program. How much interest will he have to pay? Instead of depending on outdated credit scores, with Celsius it all comes down to the LTV (Loan-to-Value) Ratio. The more Bob can offer as collateral, the better the interest rate he can get. This also lowers his chance of a margin call (having to add additional crypto or pay off part of the loan).
If Bob puts down three times the loan value ($100,000) in crypto, he will pay only 6.95% annual interest* and he’d only have to face a margin call if Bob’s crypto lost 20% of its value.

A Bit More About Margin Calls and LTV
The LTV, or loan-to-value ratio, is your loan amount divided by the amount of collateral you deposited. We recommend a low LTV not just for the lower interest rates, but to ensure that we would never be required to execute a Margin Call if the value of your assets falls dramatically.
We monitor the market minute-by-minute. If large fluctuations in the market occur, we will notify you as soon as possible, just so you’re aware.
If your collateral drops in value too much (by more than 20%), you’ll have a couple of options to bring your LTV back within the limits:
Pay Back
Pay back a portion of the loan
Deposit
Deposit more digital assets
Sell
Sell a portion of your collateral to pay off part of the loan
We will do our best to notify you of a potential Margin Call with as much notice as possible so you will have time to decide between your options.
