Direct answers

What's the lowest-rate Bitcoin loan right now?
Among custodial lenders, Arch Lending starts at 7.25%, the lowest we track, followed by Strike at 7.75%. Rates scale with LTV and term, and custodial lenders generally price below non-custodial marketplaces.
What's the difference between custodial and non-custodial lending?
Custodial lenders hold your Bitcoin with a third-party custodian (Anchorage, BitGo) or in-house for the life of the loan: simpler, usually cheaper, but you rely on their controls. Non-custodial lenders use multisig or marketplace escrow so no single party controls the collateral, giving you more sovereignty but often higher or market-set rates.
Which lender has the lowest minimum?
Ledn at $500 is the lowest custodial minimum, then SALT at $1,000. Most others start at $5,000 to $10,000.
