Compare Figure's fixed-rate BTC, ETH, and SOL loans with Stackit.ai's variable-rate treasury-policy workflow.
Last reviewed July 11, 2026 · Official sources linked below
Short answer
Figure offers a packaged 12-month, interest-only crypto-backed loan with fixed pricing, up to 75% initial LTV, and optional price-movement liquidation protection in limited states. Stackit.ai is a recurring treasury-policy layer using Aave variable rates. Figure fits a borrower seeking a straightforward cash loan; Stackit.ai fits a business or agent operating an ongoing BTC/ETH treasury.
Liquidation protection
You choose when Stackit protects, repays, and takes profit
Stackit.ai is not a fixed one-size-fits-all loan. Compared with using Figure Crypto-Backed Loans, you define the treasury policy: the point where protection begins, the conditions for repaying debt, and the conditions for taking profit or routing part of it to the loan. Stackit.ai monitors the approved rules and prepares or executes the permitted actions.
Figure Crypto-Backed Loans on its own
The product sets its loan mechanics
Figure Crypto-Backed Loans determines its own rates, collateral rules, borrowing limits, and margin or liquidation mechanics.
Any monitoring or protection offered by Figure Crypto-Backed Loans remains governed by its current product terms.
You are responsible for understanding the actions required to keep the position in good standing.
Stackit.ai automation
You choose the policy; Stackit monitors it
✓You choose a Protection Point and the safer LTV target the policy should defend.
✓You set when debt should be repaid, how much may be used, and which approved funding source applies.
✓You set profit-taking conditions and whether an approved share of realized profit should reduce loan principal.
✓Stackit.ai continuously evaluates the policy; delegated automation can execute approved actions, while wallet-sovereign flows prepare a transaction for you to sign.
1. Choose when to protect
Set a Protection Point before the underlying liquidation boundary and choose the safer LTV area you want the position returned to when risk rises.
2. Choose when to repay
Define the market, LTV, deposit-consistency, or scheduled conditions that permit a repayment—and the maximum amount the policy may use.
3. Choose when to take profit
Define the recovery or price conditions for taking profit instead of leaving every gain exposed through the next market move.
4. Decide where profit goes
Choose whether an approved share of realized profit pays down principal. Less outstanding debt can reduce both interest exposure and liquidation risk.
5. Keep control of the policy
Delegated automation is permission-scoped and revocable. Without active execution permission, Stackit.ai can prepare the transaction and risk context for your signature.
What protection does—and does not—mean
Automation is designed to reduce risk, not guarantee that liquidation or loss is impossible. Sudden market gaps, oracle problems, network congestion, insufficient liquidity, smart-contract failure, missing permissions, or failed execution can prevent an action from completing in time. Current live onboarding is assisted, and not every described automation is self-serve today.
This compares product structure, not just the lowest advertised APR. Rates, LTVs, eligibility, fees, and market parameters can change.
Dimension
Stackit.ai
Figure Crypto-Backed Loans
What it is
A treasury policy and orchestration layer that uses third-party lending markets. You choose when to protect the position, repay debt, and take profits; Stackit.ai monitors the approved policy and prepares or executes the permitted actions. The public product currently includes a self-serve sandbox and live market-rate reads; production access is assisted and the Base production API is marked in development.
A centralized crypto-backed cash loan originated and serviced through Figure's lending and markets ecosystem.
Borrow rate
The underlying Aave variable borrow rate is passed through and shown separately from Stackit.ai action fees. Live native-USDC rates are available for Base, Arbitrum, and Polygon.
Fixed interest by LTV; Figure currently publishes 9.999% APR at 50% LTV and up to 12.62% APR at higher LTV, subject to change.[source ↗]
LTV and downside response
You choose the Protection Point, safer LTV target, repayment conditions, and when profit-taking rules may pay down debt. Stackit.ai monitors LTV and prepares or executes approved actions as risk rises or profit conditions are met. Exact execution depends on the policy, permissions, liquidity, oracle data, gas, and production availability; liquidation risk cannot be eliminated.
Up to 75% initial LTV under standard terms; separate Liquidation Protection disclosures currently cap protected loans at 50% origination LTV. Standard loans receive warnings and margin calls, with liquidation possible at 90% LTV. Optional protection removes price-triggered calls/liquidation during the term but not delinquency risk.[source ↗]
Custody and control
Documented wallet-sovereign flows return unsigned transactions. Delegated automation requires revocable, policy-scoped permission; Stackit.ai says it does not hold private keys.
Figure describes segregated MPC custody and no rehypothecation for pledged BTC, ETH, and SOL.
Term
No separate fixed loan term in the public sandbox; the underlying onchain market determines the debt mechanics.
Twelve-month interest-only term, with principal and deferred interest due at maturity unless renewed under then-current terms.
Other costs
Aave interest plus published Stackit.ai per-action fees and network/protocol costs. Current fees are itemized in fees.json; protection and repayment actions carry no Stackit.ai fee, though gas and protocol costs can still apply.
Interest, currently published 1% origination fee, optional protection cost, and possible 2% liquidation processing fee where allowed.
About the alternative
What Figure Crypto-Backed Loans is
Figure currently supports BTC, ETH, and SOL collateral. Its calculator publishes different pricing at 50% and higher starting LTVs, a 1% origination fee, margin-call rules, and optional Liquidation Protection with separate eligibility and cost. Exact offers depend on date, jurisdiction, and borrower terms.
The key distinction
How Stackit.ai differs
Figure originates and services a conventional fixed-term loan. Stackit.ai instead exposes underlying Aave rates, policies, previews, fees, and permissioned treasury actions. Figure is currently the more complete retail cash-loan product; Stackit.ai is the more programmatic treasury model.

Frequently asked questions
Does Figure really allow 75% initial LTV?
Figure's current standard-loan FAQ says up to 75% initial LTV. Its optional Liquidation Protection disclosure separately states a 50% maximum at origination for protected loans.
Is Figure's protection free?
No. Figure says Liquidation Protection is optional, available only in specified states, and offered for an additional fee.
Is Figure available in New York or New Jersey?
Figure's current disclosures describe different lending entities and jurisdiction rules. New York appears available through Figure Markets Credit, while applicants should confirm their exact state eligibility and protection availability before applying.
What does the user control in Stackit.ai's automation?
The user chooses the Protection Point, safer target LTV, repayment conditions, profit-taking conditions, permitted amounts, and approved funding sources. Stackit.ai monitors those rules and can prepare or execute permitted actions according to the active permission model. Automation reduces risk but cannot guarantee against liquidation, loss, or failed execution.

Educational comparison only; not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Crypto-backed loans can lose collateral through liquidation, smart-contract failure, oracle error, market gaps, custody failure, or other execution risks.
