3 crypto-backed loans listed for Thailand
In ChainChoice’s published ranking order, from this category’s 5 providers: those whose terms exclude Thailand are removed; naming Thailand or a region that covers it counts the same, and those whose terms do not state it come last. Each chip names the basis: a dated check, a region listing, or the provider's own claim.
#1 for ThailandFigure#1 globallyProvider states broad availability Figure Markets' binding Terms of Service keep title to pledged crypto with the borrower and bar its sale, loan or hypothecation unless the borrower instructs it, in a per-loan wallet partition — but Figure's 2025 annual report on Form 10-K says the loan collateral "is in the Company’s control" and that the Company "has the ability to rehypothecate, stake, lend or otherwise use" it, and only that it "does not have a practice" of doing so; no Figure crypto-backed loan agreement is public, so the borrower's insolvency rank is unstated.
Lender of record and lending licence — 7/10Margin call and forced sale — 6/10#2 for ThailandLedn#2 globallyProvider states broad availability Ledn publishes its USD loan agreement, and the agreement says title to your bitcoin passes to Ledn, that Ledn may pledge it onward, that you rank as an unsecured creditor, and that you still owe the shortfall after a forced sale.
Computable cost before you apply — 7/10Collateral title and reuse — 5/10#3 for ThailandNexo#4 globallyProvider states broad availability Nexo's Credit Line is not a secured loan: the binding agreement transfers legal title of your bitcoin to Nexo on deposit, the borrower irrevocably waives any secured claim in Nexo's insolvency, and liquidation may happen without notice against a threshold Nexo publishes nowhere.
