Price

What does credit cost here, and how is the price formed?

Rate formationposted_card
source
Published rate card at the desk's own site (cefi_credit_rates.source_url), re-fetched daily and last confirmed 2026-07-30. posted_card per v1 §8.2: the rate is an OFFER, not a transacted price — no desk publishes a loan book, which is why these venues' quantity and composition axes are declared unobtainable rather than missing.
Term structureopen_ended
source
Nexo rate card — an open-ended credit line: no fixed dates and no minimum instalments. Explicitly NOT a tenor anchor, and it must not be read onto the tenor axis (v2 §4.2).
Rate certaintyvariable
source
Nexo rate card — variable and tiered by loyalty level and region ("rates start at 1.9%/yr"); the representative 13.9% is the un-tiered retail rate.

Composition

Who and what makes up this market?

Collateral acceptedBTC (desk-held, representation not disclosed)
source
cefi_credit_rates.collateral_class = btc for every borrow product on this desk. Desks take native BTC into custody rather than a wrapped on-chain representation, so there is no token address to cite — which is also why none of this collateral is independently observable.
Observability
price: partialRate card held for a single effective date (2026-07-21) in cefi_credit_rates — a snapshot, not a history. A posted card is also an offer, not a transacted rate, which is what the posted_card mechanism label exists to say. The declared backfill_horizon is that one date.
quantity: noneCeFi desks publish no loan book. Quantity is unobtainable at this venue, not merely unbuilt — declared rather than left blank, per spec §8.1.
composition: noneCeFi desks publish no loan-level data. Unobtainable, not unbuilt.

There is no score on this page and none will be added. The criteria are published and versioned before any venue is measured against them, and this venue's row is produced by the same pipeline as every other.
