Crypto Loans is an overcollateralized loan service designed to meet your liquidity needs. It offers both flexible and fixed rate loans at competitive interest rates. By using your crypto as collateral, you can borrow funds without selling your holdings, which is ideal if you believe your assets will appreciate over time and prefer to hold them long-term.

Place an Order

Step 1: Log in to the Bybit website and click on Finance → Crypto Loans in the navigation bar to access the Crypto Loans page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Under All products, you'll find both flexible and fixed rate loan options. Select or search for the asset you wish to borrow or supply to view the available durations and corresponding interest rates. Click Borrow/Supply on the option that suits you.

 

 

 

a) For a flexible rate loan:

The Flexible rate loan popup will appear. Specify the following details and click Borrow again:

• Loan amount — Click Max to borrow the maximum amount allowed based on your collateral value and the asset's borrowing cap.

• Collateral asset and amount

 

 

Your LTV after borrowing, hourly/annual interest rate and estimated daily interest will be calculated automatically.

 

 

 

b) For a fixed rate loan to borrow funds:

You'll be directed to the Fixed Rate Loan page. Choose an existing order under I Want to Borrow or create a new one by providing the following details:

• Borrow Amount: Enter the amount you wish to borrow.

• Interest Rate: Specify your expected interest rate.

• Duration: Choose a duration ranging from 7 to 180 days. Please refer to the product page for available terms.

• Collateral: Select the supported collateral asset(s) available in your Funding Account.

• Auto-Repay: Enable this option to automatically use assets in your Funding Account to repay the loan on the settlement date.

 

Once done, click Borrow, and a confirmation pop-up will appear.

 

 

Notes:

— Interest is charged upfront. Once a borrow order is matched, the borrowed assets, minus the interest, will be credited to the borrower's Funding Account. Loans can be repaid at any time, but prepaid interest is non-refundable.

— If the loan is overdue, a penalty of three times the interest will automatically apply, accruing hourly during the grace period following the expiry date. If the loan remains unpaid by the end of this period, the collateral will be automatically liquidated to cover the loan and overdue interest. A liquidation fee of 2% of the loan amount will also be charged.

— A single borrow order can be matched with multiple supply orders. If the matches occur at different times, the borrow order will have multiple settlement dates. 

— The LTV is calculated based on Cross Margin mode, where collateral assets are used across all loan orders. The Initial LTV is set at 80%, meaning the total value of your borrowed assets and interest cannot exceed 80% of your collateral's value (with the collateral value ratio applied).

 

 

 

c) For a fixed rate loan to supply funds:

You'll be directed to the Fixed Rate Loan page. Choose an existing order under I Want to Supply or create a new one by providing the following details:

• Supply Amount: Enter the amount you wish to lend.

• Interest Rate: Specify your expected interest rate.

• Duration: Choose a duration ranging from 7 to 180 days. Please refer to the product page for available terms.

 

Once done, click Supply, and a confirmation pop-up will appear.

 

 

Notes:

— Supply orders will be automatically redeemed on the settlement date, with the loaned assets and interest credited to the supplier's Funding Account. Early redemption is not available.

— In case of overdue repayment by the borrower, the supplier will receive the loaned assets, regular interest and overdue interest (minus any management fees) within five minutes after successful repayment or loan liquidation.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Review all the details in the confirmation popup, check the agreement acknowledgment box and click Confirm.

 

 

 

Now your Crypto Loans order has been successfully placed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

View Your Orders

To check your loans, go to My Dashboard in the upper-right corner of the Crypto Loans homepage. You'll see an overview of your total borrowings, collateral and current LTV. Click View More for additional details.

 

 

 

On your dashboard, all the details are organized under Flexible, Fixed and Collateral:

• Flexible: Shows all assets borrowed under the Flexible Rate Loan, along with the borrowed amount, interest rate and remaining borrowing limit. Click Repay under the Action column to repay your loan.

• Fixed: Includes Borrow and Supply tabs, displaying borrowed/supplied assets, average borrowed/supplied rate and settlement date.

• Collateral: Lists all collateral assets with their quantity and USD value. Click Adjust under the Action column to modify your collateral.

 

 

 

To view a complete list of all your orders, click All Orders on the right. You can see orders from Flexible Rate Loan (legacy), Flexible Rate Loan and Fixed Rate Loan, with detailed information on your loan, repayments, interest, collateral and more. You can also filter by asset or time to narrow down the results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Repay Your Loan

Step 1: From My Dashboard, click on Flexible/Fixed, locate the loan you'd like to repay, and click Repay under the Action column.

 

 

 

Alternatively, you can make repayments directly from the Orders page.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Review the repayment details on the confirmation pop-up and click Confirm.

 

 

 

Now your loan and interest have been successfully repaid!

 

Notes:

— Partial repayments are allowed for Flexible Rate Loan, but not supported for Fixed Rate Loan.

— Loans can be repaid at any time. For Flexible Rate Loan, interest is calculated based on the actual borrowing duration, and any period less than one hour is rounded up to a full hour. For Fixed Rate Loan, the interest is charged upfront when the loan is confirmed and won't be refunded if you repay early.

— If Auto-Repay is enabled for Fixed Rate Loan, assets in your Funding Account will be automatically used to repay the loan on the settlement date, helping you avoid overdue penalties. Make sure your account has enough funds to cover the full repayment; otherwise, the automatic repayment will fail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adjust Your Collateral

Step 1: From My Dashboard, go to Collateral and click Adjust under the Action column.

 

 

 

Alternatively, you can add more collateral by clicking Add Collateral in the upper right of My Dashboard.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: To add collateral, select the Increase Collateral tab. Enter the amount you'd like to add, or click Max to use the full available balance in your Funding Account. Adding collateral reduces your LTV and lowers your liquidation risk.

 

 

 

To remove collateral, select the Reduce Collateral tab. Enter the amount you'd like to withdraw, or click Max to remove the Maximum Reduction Qty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Double-check the details and click Confirm.

 

 

Notes:

— Collateral can only be reduced if the current LTV is below the Initial LTV.

— The Maximum Reduction Qty refers to the amount that brings your LTV back to its initial level. Please refer to the amount shown in the adjustment window.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Manage Legacy Orders

If you have active orders placed before the launch of the new Crypto Loans, you can manage them by clicking Crypto Loans (legacy) on the homepage. You'll still be able to make repayments and adjust collateral as usual. These orders follow the old LTV rules and won't be included in the new system's calculations. Please note that new loan orders can only be placed in the new Crypto Loans system.
