A Mirror Loan is a medium-term cryptocurrency investment tool that allows you to invest your existing cryptocurrency in the purchase of additional cryptocurrency, specifically Bitcoin, thereby doubling your position. This innovative financial product enables you to leverage your current crypto holdings to potentially maximize your returns.

How It Works?

When you request a Mirror Loan, Nebeus issues funds in USDT to buy additional cryptocurrency for you. The cryptocurrency you already own is used as collateral for these funds. The loan amount is repayable over the term of the loan. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:

1. Collateral: You set an amount of Bitcoin as collateral.
2. Purchase: Nebeus buys an equal amount of Bitcoin for you, matching the value of your collateral.
3. Loan Issuance: The newly purchased Bitcoin, along with your initial cryptocurrency, serves as collateral, effectively doubling your position.
4. Repayments: As long as you make the required monthly payments and repay the loan at the end, you’ll end up with twice the cryptocurrency you started with.

Benefits of a Mirror Loan

1. Increased Investment: Expand your Bitcoin holdings without selling your existing cryptocurrency.
2. Potential Profit: If the value of Bitcoin rises, your investment grows, potentially yielding significant profits.
3. Making Your Crypto Work: Your current crypto holdings continue to be yours and can appreciate in value while you leverage them to acquire more Bitcoin.

When to Use a Mirror Loan

A Mirror Loan is ideal when you expect the value of Bitcoin to increase. It allows you to capitalize on potential gains while maintaining ownership of your original crypto assets. This makes it a powerful tool for those looking to enhance their cryptocurrency portfolio strategically.
