Key differences

On posted APR, Ledn starts lower (9.25% vs 9.99%); whether that's the better deal depends on loan size and origination fees, both folded into the effective APR figures in our table above. APX Lending offers a higher maximum LTV (60% vs 50%), which means more buying power per BTC pledged but a narrower buffer before liquidation if Bitcoin's price falls.
