XRP-Backed Loans: Cash Without Selling Your XRP



Need cash but want to keep your XRP? Open a Clapp credit line against it and draw euros or stablecoins whenever you like. The limit for XRP is up to 50% LTV, the rate follows how much of it you use and starts at 0% APR at low LTV, and your coins are held in institutional custody secured by Fireblocks for as long as the line is open.
What You Get When You Borrow Against XRP
XRP is the native asset of the XRP Ledger, a network built for fast cross-border payments. A credit line secured by it turns the XRP you already hold into spendable euros or stablecoins, on terms that follow your own loan-to-value ratio.

XRP Price Down: What Changes for Your Loan
Your LTV moves, and you stay in control of it
XRP can reprice quickly on news, so a calm week can turn into a sharp move within hours. Think of LTV as debt divided by collateral value. If XRP drops, the debt stays the same while the collateral shrinks, so the ratio climbs, and you can follow it live in the app. Adding XRP or another accepted asset, or repaying some of the balance, pulls it back down. Collateral is sold only when the ratio hits the liquidation threshold shown in your dashboard, which is why many borrowers keep a comfortable distance from it.
Other Assets You Can Combine with XRP
One credit line can be secured by several assets at once. Each one has its own LTV limit: stablecoins carry the highest, more volatile coins carry lower ones. The live catalog below shows every asset currently accepted and its limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I borrow against XRP?
XRP is accepted as collateral at up to 50% LTV, so your available credit is a share of the current market value of the XRP you post. The calculator on this page shows the exact figure for your amount, and the limit moves with the live XRP price while the line is open.
Can I get a loan against XRP in euros?
Yes. Post XRP as collateral and draw EUR straight to your bank account via SEPA Instant, usually within seconds, or take USDT or USDC to your Clapp wallet.
What APR applies when I borrow against XRP?
Your rate moves with your LTV within a range of 0–21.9%: 0% APR as long as you stay at or below 20%, higher above it. You are only charged on the drawn balance.
Do I need to sell XRP to borrow?
No. You keep your XRP posted as collateral and draw cash against it instead. Repay the balance and the coins are back in your wallet.
What happens if the XRP price drops?
Your LTV rises and you can watch it in the app in real time. You can add collateral or repay part of the balance at any moment to bring it back down. Only if your LTV reaches the liquidation threshold shown in your dashboard is part of the collateral sold to cover the balance.
What happens to my XRP when I repay?
Once the balance is cleared, the XRP you posted is back in your wallet and you can trade, send or hold it as before. You can also repay in parts and keep the line open for later.
