Not included
  • Bank Frick (Liechtenstein) — The official FAQ says: «Bank Frick does not lend against cryptocurrencies.» Its branch in the Dubai International Financial Centre, regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), can arrange credit, but that is not a public retail Bitcoin loan from the Liechtenstein head office. source
  • Russian banks — No public offers of Bitcoin-backed loans from Russian banks found when we checked on 28 Sep 2026. For global products, see the lenders above.
  • Anchorage Digital Bank — A US federal crypto bank, publicly known as a custodian. When we checked (snapshot of 28 Sep 2026), its own pages did not confirm a retail Bitcoin loan made directly by the bank. Partner or on-chain options such as Mezo may exist. Not listed until a page from the bank itself confirms such a loan. source
  • No Russian banks with public Bitcoin-backed loans found (checked 28 Sep 2026).
  • Bank Frick (Liechtenstein) states it does not lend against cryptocurrencies.
  • Sygnum, AMINA and Two Prime usually share LTV and rates only through a relationship manager, so we show "see site".
  • Figure Markets may be closing; check before you rely on it.
  • Products depend on your country and identity checks (KYC), and can change after the snapshot date.
