Dollar loans only: other currencies are separate books, never added in

Debt and rates count loans made in US dollars and dollar stablecoins. Loans in euros, francs, yen, ether or bitcoin itself are separate books, shown by currency on each venue, never added in.

  • BTC collateral — the supplied amount of the venue's pegged-bitcoin reserves as each pool reports it — what is deposited, not what is pledged against a loan.
  • Dollar debt against bitcoin — bitcoin-only borrowers only: $565,835 more is owed in dollars by 62 accounts posting bitcoin among other collateral, a bound never apportioned.
  • Aggregate LTV — the bitcoin-only borrowers' LTV, not the pool's: accounts posting bitcoin among other collateral are not in it.
  • Liquidates at — the bitcoin-only borrowers only (accounts posting other collateral are not in it); $5 of their debt sits in positions that liquidate within a 20% fall.
What “Liquidates at” is: one price for the whole book, not a forecast

"Liquidates at" is the bitcoin price at which this book, taken as one position, stops covering its debt at its liquidation thresholds — an aggregate, not a forecast: individual loans are levered differently and liquidate above it.

Loan duration is not a venue figure on an on-chain pool: these markets are open-term, and a position runs until it is repaid or liquidated. A fixed term exists only where the venue writes one — the custodial desks (cefi_credit_rates.term_days) and Gavel's auction, which is fixed-rate and fixed-term by construction.

10 of 10 criteria researched. What the criteria are →

Markets — as served, not a venue rate

One row per market, as the venue publishes them. These are market rates: combining them into a single venue rate is a weighting across this venue's markets, and choosing one here would be a methodology decision taken in a web page.

No BTC market rows are served for this venue. It runs contracts, so the absence is this dataset’s, not the venue’s.

Price

What does credit cost here, and how is the price formed?

Aave v3 interest rate strategy per reserve on Linea (chain 59144) — a two-slope function of utilisation with a kink at the optimal ratio: algorithmic_utilisation.

Aave v3 Pool 0xc47b8C00b0f69a36fa203Ffeac0334874574a8Ac on Linea (chain 59144) — the variable rate is recomputed from utilisation on every ReserveDataUpdated; nothing is fixed at origination.

Quality

What stands behind a position, and what can change under the reader?

Aave v3 PoolAddressesProvider 0x89502c3731F69DDC95B65753708A07F8Cd0373F4 on Linea (chain 59144) → getPriceOracle() = 0xCFDAdA7DCd2e785cF706BaDBC2B8Af5084d595e9 (read 2026-09-30). AaveOracle holds one source per asset (setAssetSources) across every reserve, plus a fallback oracle, and governance can replace any of them. A pooled venue's solvency depends on all of the feeds backing the reserves an account touches, not on one.

Aave v3 Pool 0xc47b8C00b0f69a36fa203Ffeac0334874574a8Ac on Linea (chain 59144) — liquidationCall() is permitted once an account's health factor falls below 1e18, computed from per-reserve liquidation thresholds (or the eMode category's, where the account has entered one) across the account's whole collateral basket.

Aave v3 Pool 0xc47b8C00b0f69a36fa203Ffeac0334874574a8Ac on Linea (chain 59144) — liability is bounded by the account's collateral: liquidationCall() seizes collateral and no function pursues a borrower beyond it. (v3.3's DeficitCreated is not cited here: this estate has not observed it on this chain.)
Track record18 months observed
source
Derived from the first aggregator observation this dataset holds for the venue (defi_rates_llama, 2025-03-10; the registry holds no first_date for it). This is a LOWER BOUND on the venue's age, not the age itself: a venue trading long before the aggregator began listing it reads short here. The observer is the aggregator, not the venue's own contracts. Not typed, and not a claim about the venue's longevity.

Composition

Who and what makes up this market?

Collateral acceptedBTC reserves (1): WBTC
source
Pool.getReservesList() on Linea (chain 59144), Pool 0xc47b8C00b0f69a36fa203Ffeac0334874574a8Ac, read 2026-09-30 (registry/resolution/2026-09/aave_chains.json): 9 reserves — one is bitcoin: WBTC 0x3aAB2285ddcDdaD8edf438C1bAB47e1a9D05a9b4 (8 decimals), base LTV 73%, liquidation threshold 78%, borrowable. NOTE: Aave is POOLED and multi-collateral, so a BTC reserve's presence does not mean a given borrow is secured by it — attributing a borrow to Bitcoin specifically is a modelling decision.
Book depth & concentrationunknown (no per-venue counterparty count exists in this registry or in the comparison payload, so depth and concentration cannot be established. This is a gap in THIS DATASET, not in the venue, and is a different value from `undisclosed`, which would mean the venue does not publish it.)
Observability
price: partial — Observed through the aggregator (DefiLlama). The aggregator's rows are each pool's published borrow and supply rates as it reports them — not a read of the venue's own contracts, and not checked against one. As of 2026-10-01.
quantity: partial — Observed through the aggregator (DefiLlama): bitcoin collateral is the supplied amount of each pegged-bitcoin reserve, converted at the day's bitcoin reference, and debt is the borrowed amount per pool or vault. Neither is a read of the venue's own contracts. As of 2026-10-01.
composition: none — Not obtainable from an aggregator — composition is loan-level and requires event ingestion, which is not planned for this venue.

What the loans are denominated in

Borrowed inAssetsSize (USD equivalent)In the loan assetRead by
US dollars$58k—account-by-account pool read, 2026-10-13

Each currency is a separate book; the dollar equivalents compare sizes and are never added together.

Backing chain

Each link from what this venue takes as collateral down to the bitcoin it rests on, in order, with how each link was established.

How a chain is read, and what it does not claim

backing_chain: the ordered claims standing between a creditor and the coins, each link derived from a sourced fact already held and carrying it in `derived_from` — the custody cell, the venue's borrow card, or wrapper_registry.yaml for who holds the bitcoin behind a token. A `representation` link has one branch per token the venue takes; branches are alternatives, not a sequence. A link nobody has established is shown with status `incomplete` and names what is missing — it is never dropped, because a missing link omitted makes a long chain look short. `undisclosed` means the party does not publish it; `incomplete` means this dataset has not established it. NEVER SCORED AND NEVER COUNTED: no length, link count or ranking is published, and none should be derived — chain length and link transparency are orthogonal (ETP-backed margin is the longest chain here and every link of it is regulated). `recourse` is what the creditor holds beyond the chain. ⚠ Tokens are identified BY SYMBOL: the wrapper registry is not keyed by chain or address, so every `representation` link carries a `deployment` step that is incomplete — whether a token is native to the chain of the venue or a bridge receipt (one more link) is not established — and a symbol the registry knows to name a different token on a venue is shown unresolved, not given that wrapper's holders.

The generic axis set

Identical for every venue, identically computed. An axis that cannot be computed here renders its reason — never silently omitted, because an omitted axis says it was not considered. A figure that covers only part of what the axis asks is marked, with what it leaves out beneath it. Collateral, debt and the borrow and lend rates are the tiles at the top of this page.
