Lend Fiat
Step-by-step guide to lending fiat currency on Lendasat and earning Bitcoin-backed yields.
Creating a Fiat Loan Offer
Earn yield on your fiat currency while helping Bitcoiners unlock liquidity without selling their BTC.
Go to Create Offer
Log into Lendasat → Click "Create Offer"
Select Fiat Currency
Choose your currency:
| Available | Examples |
|---|---|
| Fiat currencies | EUR, USD, GBP (depending on availability) |
Set Your Lending Parameters
| Parameter | What to Set | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Amount Range | Min-max loan size | $1,000 - $10,000 |

| LTV | Maximum loan-to-value | 50%, 60%, or 70% |
