Coinbase SOLloan: rates, LTV & how to borrow

Can I borrow against SOL on Coinbase?
Yes — you can borrow against Solana (SOL) on Coinbase at 4–12% APR with up to 86% LTV, on a hybrid (on-chain) basis with KYC.
Borrow on Coinbase

Coinbase accepts Solana (SOL) as loan collateral. Solana is a high-performance blockchain. SOL is accepted as collateral on several CeFi and emerging DeFi platforms. On Coinbase you can borrow USDC against your SOL at 4–12% APR, up to a maximum loan-to-value of 86%, on a hybrid (on-chain) basis.

To borrow against SOL on Coinbase you open an account, complete identity verification, deposit your SOL as collateral, and draw a loan. Coinbase uses a hybrid (on-chain) model, so consider how it secures collateral before committing a large SOL position.

Solana's price volatility is the main driver of liquidation risk on a Coinbase loan, which is why the 86% maximum LTV exists. Borrowing well below it — and adding collateral or repaying when SOL falls — keeps your position out of the liquidation zone. Coinbase sources its rates on a verified, manually-tracked basis.

How to borrow against SOL on Coinbase

  1. 1Create a Coinbase account and complete identity verification (KYC).
  2. 2Deposit your Solana (SOL) as collateral.
  3. 3Choose your loan amount up to 86% LTV and receive USDC.
  4. 4Repay under Coinbase's terms to reclaim your SOL. Add collateral or repay early if SOL falls toward the liquidation level.
