LOANS

Make large purchases without selling your bitcoin

Collaborative custody prevents rehypothecation

Distributing bitcoin keys among three key holders ensures that no single person or company can move your bitcoin. This protects your bitcoin from loss and lets you monitor your bitcoin on the blockchain for the duration of the loan.
