If your BTC loan APR is above 5%, you're paying for someone else's balance sheet. We put every major bitcoin-backed lender side-by-side. APR, LTV, custody. Range: 1% to 26.5%. The spread is not bitcoin's risk profile. The spread is the intermediary. Here's a preview 🔽

Some BTC-backed lenders require 40–60% LTV. That's not credit risk management. That's the lender protecting their balance sheet at your expense. Borrow up to 90% LTV on Mezo 👇 mezo.org/feature/borrow
