Stabilization

Ride out crashes.
Keep your position.

Convert your pledged collateral into stablecoin during a downturn — and flip it back when you're ready. No sale, no tax event, no losing your thesis.

The problem

Volatility margins
out the HODLer.

A 40% drawdown turns a comfortable 50% LTV into an 83% LTV — triggering margin calls or, worse, liquidation. The usual options are bad: top up collateral you don't have, pay down a loan you took out because you needed cash, or watch your position get sold at the bottom.

Stabilization is the third door: keep the loan, keep the position (converted to stable), and flip back when prices stabilize.

Mechanics

How Stabilization works.

A one-click swap on the collateral side of your existing loan. Your principal, rate, and term stay exactly the same.

01

Protect Your Collateral

Convert volatile crypto to stablecoin during a market downturn — your collateral keeps its USD value, your LTV stops rising.

02

Buy Time

Stabilization buys you time to manage your loan through a crash and re-enter the market when timing is right for you.

03

Grow Holdings

Convert your portfolio back to its original crypto mix when the market is down to increase total holdings by buying the bottom.

End to end

One click. Four steps.

1

Detect risk

Market drops, LTV climbs, dashboard alerts you.

2

Stabilize

Tap "Stabilize" — your BTC/ETH swaps to USDC on-vault.

3

Hold stable

Sit in USDC as long as you want. LTV can't move.

4

Reconvert

Buy back the same asset (or a different one) when you're ready.

When to use it

Four moments
Stabilization saves you.

LTV approaching liquidation

Your buffer is thinning fast. Stabilize now, keep the loan, keep the position — just frozen at today's USD value.

Vacation / away from markets

Off-grid for two weeks? Stabilize to lock LTV and sleep.

Bottom-buying opportunity

Price drops 50%. You believe it'll recover. Stabilize first, then reconvert — same USD, more coins.

Major macro event

Regulatory news, exchange failures, geopolitical shock — protect first, analyze later.

0%

Tax event — it's a swap, not a disposal

~30s

End-to-end time to stabilize

Any

Loan size — no minimum to use it

Reconversions — swap as often as you want
