Why Smart Investors Open a Cardano Credit Line Instead of Selling
Selling your Cardano is a taxable event that kills your long-term position. A Clapp Cardano Credit Line is a wealth management tool designed for the modern HODLer.
Avoid Capital Gains Tax
When you sell ADA for profit, you pay taxes. When you borrow against it via a credit line, you get tax-free liquidity (debt is generally not considered income).
Keep Your Upside
If Cardano hits a new All-Time High, you still own the asset. You profit from the growth, even while you spend the cash today.
Revolving Access
Unlike a standard Cardano loan, our credit line stays open. Repay and re-borrow as often as you like without filling out new forms.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does interest work on my credit line?+
Unlike a term loan, you only pay interest on the funds you actually withdraw. If your line is open but unused, you pay 0% APR. Active interest rates are dynamic based on your Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio—lower risk means lower rates.
Is borrowing against crypto a taxable event?+
Generally, borrowing against your assets is not considered a sale, meaning it is typically a tax-efficient way to access liquidity without triggering capital gains taxes. We recommend consulting a tax professional for your specific jurisdiction.
Are there fixed monthly payments?+
No. Clapp gives you full repayment flexibility. Pay back any amount, anytime, and your interest automatically adjusts as you repay.
Can my interest rate change over time?+
Yes. Our rates are risk-based and floating. The more you borrow relative to your collateral (higher LTV), the higher the interest rate; the less you borrow (lower LTV), the lower your rate.
Can I change my collateral after drawing funds?+
Yes! With Clapp, you can easily add, remove, or swap assets in your collateral basket — even after drawing funds. Lock in gains on one asset and use another to back your credit line, all without complicated refinancing.
How do I avoid a margin call?+
A margin call occurs if your collateral value drops significantly. Clapp provides automatic alerts to notify you before this happens, allowing you to add collateral or repay part of the balance to stabilize your health factor.
What is LTV and why does it matter?+
LTV (loan-to-value) measures how much you've borrowed compared to the value of your collateral. A lower LTV means a bigger "safety cushion," keeping your credit line secure. For example, if you pledge $10,000 in collateral and borrow $2,000, your LTV is only 20% — a very safe level.
How will I know if my LTV becomes risky?+
We'll notify you if your LTV rises, giving you time to adjust and sleep easy, without surprises.
