Score reflects best available evidence, but some sub-factors are inferred from public disclosures rather than confirmed at source. The score will move if Pledge receives stronger evidence. Estimated: Milo’s rate, LTV, margin-call threshold, custody partners, and NMLS license are verified from milo.io and NMLS Consumer Access, but the liquidation threshold is disclosed only in loan documents, the “no margin calls issued to date” history is self-reported, and the U.S. state roster is not statically published (interactive selector only).

Questions about Milo

What are Milo's crypto loan rates?

Milo's crypto-backed loan starts at an 8.75% interest rate, with APR currently 10.75% once the 2% origination fee is included. The headline rate excludes that fee, so compare the all-in APR figure against other lenders.

Does Milo pull your credit for a crypto loan?

No. Milo does not run a credit check for crypto loans — approval is based on your pledged collateral and KYC verification. The program currently requires a valid U.S. ID and a U.S. bank account for loan proceeds.

When does a Milo crypto loan margin call happen?

A margin call is triggered at 67% LTV — roughly a 25% drop in BTC or ETH collateral value from the original 2:1 pledge. You can cure it by pledging more collateral or making a principal payment. The liquidation threshold itself is disclosed only in loan documents and is price-driven rather than time-based.

Where is Milo crypto loan collateral held?

Pledged crypto is held with Milo's qualified custodians, BitGo or Coinbase Custody, in a dedicated sub-account in your name that is segregated from Milo's corporate accounts. Milo's product page states there is no rehypothecation of client assets.

How fast can a Milo crypto loan fund?

Milo says most applicants receive conditional approval the same day, with final approval typically within 24 hours. Once your collateral is transferred and confirmed, loan proceeds are typically wired to your U.S. bank account within 24 hours.

What happens when a Milo crypto loan matures?

Milo crypto loans are 12-month, interest-only loans — by default you make 11 monthly interest payments and a final balloon payment of principal at maturity. You can repay, refinance into a new loan, or request a rollover if you are in good standing. There is no prepayment fee.
