BREAKING: Today, we are launching the Rand Credit Line ๐
You can now borrow EURC against your Bitcoin or Ethereum at a fixed 8% APR, one of the lowest rates available today.
As Europeans, we're especially excited about this launch because it's designed for people who live in euros. Most crypto-backed loans are USD-denominated, which creates significant FX risk for anyone whose primary currency isn't the dollar.
Last year alone, EUR/USD moved more than 12%, and with the current escalation of global conflicts, stable FX rates over the next 12 months look unlikely.
To wrap up, you can now stay invested in BTC and ETH without sacrificing liquidity or triggering capital gains (depending on the country), and without FX risk between the day you borrow and repay.
The Credit Line feature is now available on Android and coming soon to iOS.

@0xCryptoSam@ether_fi The hard part of this is finding someone that is willing to loan small and unpredictable amounts at 0%. This would make sense at an huge scale but at small scale (with all the options available to deploy capital) this would make very little sense for a lender/capital allocator
@stutireal@MorphoLabs@PaulFrambot Itโs not about DeFi, CEX or TradFi, itโs about understanding where your yield is coming from.
Many of the products are hedge fund strategies with high execution and market risk wrapped under a โEarnโ product. This makes no sense, and it creates a fundamental risk to retail.
@laurentzeimes This is not because banks canโt do it or donโt want to do it.
Generally Europeans donโt like to own money, there is no culture around using credit.
