Why Smart Investors Open a Polkadot Credit Line Instead of Selling
Selling your Polkadot is a taxable event that kills your long-term position. A Clapp Polkadot Credit Line is a wealth management tool designed for the modern HODLer.
Avoid Capital Gains Tax
When you sell DOT 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 Polkadot 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 Polkadot loan, our credit line stays open. Repay and re-borrow as often as you like without filling out new forms.

Frequently Asked Questions about Polkadot Loans
Is borrowing against my Polkadot a taxable event?+
Borrowing against your assets is generally not a taxable event, meaning you can access liquidity without triggering capital gains. Consult a tax professional in your jurisdiction.
What does an open but unused credit line cost?+
Interest only accrues on the funds you actually draw. An open but unused line costs 0%. T&C apply.
How is my borrowing rate determined?+
Your borrowing rate is floating and tied to your LTV — lower risk means a lower rate.
What happens if my LTV gets too high?+
Smart alerts notify you if your LTV nears critical levels, giving you time to top up collateral.
Who provides Clapp's services?+
We operate through a broad group structure that includes an EU entity pursuing MiCA authorisation, alongside other licensed and operational entities in the jurisdictions where we provide services. The relevant services continue to be delivered through the applicable entities and regulatory frameworks.
