1. Introduction
BoneX Loans offers a BTC Borrowing Program, allowing clients to gain exposure to Bitcoin by securing a loan of up to 70% of the value of their BTC collateral (70% LTV). Financing is available for a period ranging from 1 to 12 months, with interest rates adjusted according to the selected duration. The BTC collateral remains under custody until full repayment of the loan.
By entering this agreement, clients accept these Terms and Conditions, which define their rights, obligations, and the risk management framework associated with BTC-backed lending.
2. BoneX Loans
2.1 Eligibility
BoneX Loans is available to individuals and entities who meet the required criteria for borrowing, including but not limited to high-net-worth individuals, professional traders, and institutional clients.
2.2 Loan Structure
- Collateral: Loan requests must be backed by BTC collateral.
- Loan Amount: Clients may borrow up to 70% of the value of their BTC in USDC (70% LTV).
- Repayment Terms: Loan repayment terms range from 1 to 12 months with fixed monthly installments.
- Collateral Custody: BTC collateral will remain in BoneX's custody until the loan is fully repaid.
2.3 Loan Request Process
- Loan Request: When a loan is requested, the user must review, sign the loan agreement, and make the required payment within 4 hours of the request.
- Expiration: If the contract is not signed and payment is not made within 4 hours, the loan request will be considered invalid, and the collateral will be released.
2.4 Interest Rates
The annual interest rate on BoneX Loans starts at 3.4%.
Interest is calculated on a daily basis and added to the principal.
The final rate is determined based on the selected loan term (1–12 months).
BoneX Loans reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify the applicable interest rate or apply additional charges to the outstanding loan balance based on prevailing economic, regulatory, or market conditions, including but not limited to inflation, monetary policy shifts, or geopolitical events.
By accepting these Terms and Conditions, clients acknowledge and agree that such adjustments may occur at any time during the loan term, without the need for prior consent. Clients will be notified accordingly, and the updated terms shall be deemed accepted upon continued use of the service.
2.5 Liquidation
- Liquidation Trigger: Your loan may be liquidated if the value of your collateral falls below the required threshold, determined by the loan-to-value ratio (LTV).
- Avoiding Liquidation: When the BTC price approaches the liquidation threshold, clients may deposit additional collateral. The minimum amount required is 10% of the original BTC collateral value. Once added, the system will automatically recalculate and update the liquidation price, providing increased protection from forced liquidation.
- Liquidation Process: BoneX will liquidate your collateral to repay the loan if the collateral value decreases and reaches the liquidation point defined by your original loan amount.
2.6 Fees
- Late Payment Fees: If payments are not made on time, a late fee will be charged or your loan can be terminated.
- Early Repayment: No penalties apply for early repayment. However, clients are required to pay all remaining interest for the originally agreed term upon early settlement.
2.7 Security
All BTC collateral is stored in Fireblocks wallets, a highly secure storage solution trusted by leading financial institutions.
2.8 Client Responsibilities
- Collateral Maintenance: It is your responsibility to ensure that your collateral is sufficient to cover the loan, including interest, throughout the loan term.
- Communication: You must provide accurate contact information and promptly respond to any communications from BoneX related to your loan.
2.9 Loan Default
Failure to repay the loan as agreed will result in the liquidation of collateral.
In the event of loan default, BoneX reserves the right to initiate legal proceedings and pursue recovery of the outstanding loan balance.
2.10 Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which BoneX operates, and any disputes will be handled in the courts of that jurisdiction.
2.11 Amendments
BoneX reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time. Any changes will be communicated to you and will take effect immediately upon posting on the website or through direct notification.
3. BTC Collateral Value – Market Effects
3.1 In case of BTC price appreciation during the loan period, the client does not gain access to the appreciated value unless the loan is fully repaid.
3.2 The collateral remains locked in custody until the loan is repaid in full, regardless of market price increases.
3.3 Once the loan is fully settled, the BTC collateral is returned to the client in full, unless a liquidation event has occurred.
4. BTC Price Drops & Liquidation Threshold
4.1 Liquidation risk is triggered if the value of BTC collateral declines and the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio exceeds the permitted threshold.
4.2 Clients will receive real-time alerts when their loan approaches the liquidation threshold. To avoid liquidation, clients may add additional collateral.
4.3 The minimum additional collateral required is 10% of the initial BTC collateral value. Upon deposit, the system will automatically recalculate the new liquidation threshold, offering enhanced protection.
4.4 Failure to provide the required collateral in time may result in full or partial liquidation, and the client forfeits any liquidated amount.
5. Early Repayment & Termination Policy
5.1 Clients may choose to repay their outstanding loan balance in full at any time before the maturity date.
5.2 Partial prepayments are also allowed, reducing the remaining principal and total interest payable.
In the event of early repayment, the client is required to pay the remaining interest payments for the full loan term as initially agreed, regardless of the early settlement date.
5.3 Clients must submit an official request via the BoneX Loans platform for early repayment.
5.4 A settlement statement outlining the remaining balance, applicable fees, and final payment amount will be provided.
5.5 Upon confirmation of payment, the loan will be marked as fully settled, and the BTC collateral will be returned to the borrower.
6. Staking Terms and Conditions

Premature withdrawal or utilization of the staked assets before the expiration of the locked period is not permitted.
6.2 Flexible Staking:
Flexible Staking permits clients to stake their cryptocurrency assets for a set period but allows withdrawal before the end of this period.
If clients withdraw their staked assets prior to the staking maturity date, they will forfeit all accumulated interest on the withdrawn amount.
Interest is distributed only upon successful completion of the entire staking period.
6.3 Modifications and Adjustments:

Clients are solely responsible for reporting and payment of any applicable taxes arising from staking rewards, as per their local jurisdiction's tax laws.
BoneX reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend or discontinue staking services at any time, providing prior notification to the Clients through official communication channels.
Clients are advised to carefully assess their risk tolerance and investment objectives before participating in BoneX staking services.
