Examples of Structured Loan
For example, right now the price of BTC is $20,000. a user would like to use 10 BTC as collateral to loan $140,000 with Structured Loan. He decides to loan with a 70% Loan-to-Value Ratio, 120% Profit Sharing Level, 30% Profit Sharing Ratio (Users keep 70% of the profit), 4% APR and 3 days duration.
When the term starts, the profit-sharing price would be $24,000, downside protection price would be $14,000. The user can raise $140,000 using 10 BTC as collateral. There are 4 scenarios with different prices at settlement:
Scenario 1: At settlement, the price is still $20,000, the borrower will pay 46 USDT.
Scenario 2: At settlement, the price is greater than profit sharing price ($24,000), such as $24,500. The borrower will pay 46 USDT and extra 1,500 USDT. Profit Sharing: (24,500-24,000) * 10 * 30% = 1,500)
Scenario 3: At settlement, the price is between profit sharing price ($24,000) and downside protection price ($14,000), such as $15,000, the borrower will pay 46 USDT.
Scenario 4: At settlement, the price is below downside protection price ($14,000), such as $13,000, the borrower will pay 46 USDT and receive 10,000 USDT as downside compensation from the lender. No margin call is required in the entire process.
