APX Clients Can Draw Against Combined Bitcoin and Ethereum Holdings

APX Lending launched a five-year revolving line of credit on Sept. 3, 2026, letting eligible clients borrow against Bitcoin, Ethereum or both assets combined, according to a PR Newswire release. The core pitch is flexibility: borrowers establish the facility once, then draw, repay and redraw capital as needs change instead of opening a new loan for every liquidity event.

APX launches a five-year Bitcoin and Ethereum-backed line of credit

The APX Line of Credit, as detailed in the announcement carried on Morningstar via PR Newswire, is structured as revolving credit rather than a fixed-term loan. Interest accrues only on the amount actually drawn – unused capacity carries no interest charge – and annual rates range from 10.49% to 11.99%, depending on the outstanding balance. There are no origination, prepayment or liquidation fees, which distinguishes the product from a lot of legacy crypto-lending structures where exit costs erode the appeal of the loan.

Unlike APX’s existing fixed-term loans, which are collateralized by either BTC or ETH individually, the new line can pool both assets to calculate borrowing capacity. The company’s own example: a client holding $200,000 in Bitcoin and $100,000 in Ethereum can combine the $300,000 in value to support a single facility, and at 60% loan-to-value that collateral could unlock up to $180,000 in borrowing capacity. Available credit moves dynamically with the market value of the underlying collateral and whatever balance is already drawn – so a BTC or ETH rally expands headroom, and a drawdown compresses it.

The product sits alongside a growing category of collateral-backed credit that lets holders access liquidity without selling – a dynamic also visible in how Bitcoin-backed mortgages are being structured to avoid triggering a taxable sale. APX frames the line as an expansion of a platform that already spans fixed-term lending, revolving credit and a Lending-as-a-Service offering for third parties. The line is live now for eligible borrowers in supported jurisdictions at apxlending.com.

Why the launch matters in the crypto-credit market

APX says clients have already used its digital-asset-backed loans to finance businesses, pay down high-interest debt, put money toward mortgages and cover other real-world expenses – the kind of recurring, uneven liquidity needs that a single fixed-term loan handles poorly. A revolving structure is a more natural fit for that pattern than repeatedly originating new loans, which is the stated rationale behind the launch.

The broader crypto-lending market has seen other providers experiment with multi-asset revolving credit lines, a design comparable in spirit to what platforms like GalaxyOne have rolled out for crypto-backed borrowing against Bitcoin and Ethereum. Whether combining assets into one facility becomes the standard approach across the sector or remains a differentiator specific to a handful of regulated lenders is still an open question, and readers should treat any market-sizing claims about crypto credit’s total scale with caution until they’re independently sourced. What’s verifiable here is narrower and more useful: APX has built a specific product with specific rates and specific collateral rules, and it’s live today.

The regulatory and risk-management structure behind the facility

APX positions itself as the first digital-asset-backed lender approved by Canadian securities regulators, and the company says it’s registered with both FINTRAC and FinCEN. That regulatory framing is central to how APX differentiates itself from the unregulated crypto-lending platforms that collapsed during the 2022 credit crunch, when rehypothecated collateral and opaque risk management wiped out client funds across the sector.

Per the company’s disclosures, client collateral sits in segregated BitGo Trust cold-storage wallets, is never rehypothecated, and carries insurance coverage of up to $250 million. Clients can independently verify their collateral on-chain around the clock through the APX platform – a transparency feature that matters more in crypto lending than in traditional secured credit, since the collateral itself is natively auditable.

On the risk side, APX says it continuously monitors digital-asset prices and loan LTVs, with automated systems handling margin notifications and partial liquidations as market conditions shift. The company’s 90/85 Standard – liquidating only enough collateral to bring LTV from 90% back down to 85% – is designed to limit forced-sale damage during a drawdown rather than wiping out the full position, which is a meaningfully different approach from the all-or-nothing liquidation triggers seen on some platforms. APX also cites SOC 2-audited controls as part of its security program, a standard more commonly associated with institutional financial infrastructure than with retail crypto lenders.

What comes next

The line of credit is available now to eligible borrowers in supported jurisdictions, and APX says the same underlying infrastructure – custody, compliance, collateral management and servicing – also powers its Lending-as-a-Service offering for financial institutions and fintechs that want to embed crypto-backed credit without building the plumbing themselves. Similar collateral-backed lending mechanics are also showing up outside pure crypto assets, as seen in emerging GPU-backed AI loan structures that borrow the same overcollateralization logic.

The announcement doesn’t name a pending regulatory approval, a launch date in additional jurisdictions, or a specific next product on the roadmap, so anything beyond the current release should be treated as speculative until APX confirms it directly. For now, the facts that matter are the ones borrowers can act on: the rate band, the LTV mechanics, the fee structure and the custody terms – all stated plainly in the company’s own release rather than buried in fine print.
