What dormant crypto does today.
Sitting on the balance sheet
BTC, ETH, and most other crypto exposed to price, generating no income in dollars.
Sell to earn yield
Selling to redeploy gives up the position and can trigger a taxable event.
Pledge and keep it
The position stays in custody while a dollar credit line earns real-world yield against it.
What a pledge gets you.
Custody never moves
Your assets stay with your qualified custodian. Rekord never takes possession.
Keep your position
Pledge instead of sell, so you hold the upside and avoid a taxable event.
Staking stays live
Pledged staked positions keep earning rewards and keep validating.
USD-denominated returns
Yield comes back in US dollars, uncorrelated to the asset you pledged.
Price moves don't hit yield
A drawdown in the pledged asset changes its dollar value, not the return line.
Verify it yourself
See the same cryptographically verified records as operators and auditors, any time.
How a pledge becomes yield.
Pledge BTC, ETH, or most other crypto
Staked and locked positions work too. Your collateral stays with your custodian; custody never moves.
A dollar credit line opens
Rekord extends a USD credit line against your pledged collateral.
Real-world yield in dollars
The line deploys into Rekord Vaults and earns returns uncorrelated to the asset you pledged.
Proof at every step
Cryptographic proof from collateral through distribution, on the same records auditors see.
Built for institutional balance sheets.
Pledging crypto as collateral is built for institutional balance sheets: the foundations, validators, and treasuries that want dollar income without parting with the position.
Foundations
Dollar income from treasury holdings, without selling the token.
Validators
Yield on staked positions while consensus keeps running.
Digital asset treasuries
Put a crypto balance sheet to work in US dollars.
Crypto-native funds
Carry on long-held positions, without unwinding them.
Ecosystem balance sheets
Real-world yield on native and pledged reserves.
Go one level deeper.
The credit line deploys into the same Rekord Vaults stablecoin holders use: a curated mix of insured receivables, real-asset lending, and structured private credit, each underwritten and proven on the Rekord stack. Two products carry the work beneath the pledge.
Frequently asked questions
Can I borrow against my crypto without selling it?
Yes. You pledge assets like BTC or ETH as collateral to open a US-dollar credit line — without selling and without moving custody — so you keep your position and its upside.
Do I keep custody of my assets?
Yes. Your assets are pledged as collateral without moving custody, rather than sold or transferred away.
What can I pledge?
BTC, ETH, and most other major digital assets.
What happens to the capital behind the credit line?
It deploys into the same Rekord Vaults that stablecoin holders use: a curated mix of insured receivables, real-asset lending, and structured private credit, underwritten and proven on the Rekord stack.
How is the collateral verified?
Collateral and cashflows are anchored and attested on Rekord's proof layer — Rekord Kloud and the Proof Console — so what backs your credit line is independently verifiable.
