How is my collateral liquidated?
All liquidations are done manually by our team. Bitcoin backing a loan may be surrendered in the event of a CTP violation.
You can submit a request for Unchained to use collateral to make a principal payment to your loan. If you do not satisfy a CTP violation, we will liquidate collateral according to our CTP violation process.
Collateral liquidation process:
- The bitcoin backing your loan is sold on an exchange or to a properly licensed counterparty.
- A corresponding principal payment is made to the loan from the proceeds of the sale, less selling fees to Unchained Trading, LLC.
- We adjust the loan account with the net proceeds of the sale and create the bitcoin transaction for settlement.
- It is preferred that you are ready to sign with your key immediately following the adjustment to your loan account. If you are unable to sign in a timely manner, we will engage the Key Agent for the second signature to settle the sale.
- If the loan is closed as a result of the sale, collateral will be returned to you following the settlement of the sale.
