Firefish operates as an open lending marketplace that facilitates Bitcoin-backed lending, allowing users to leverage their Bitcoin holdings without the need to sell them. The core offering enables borrowers to obtain cash loans secured by their Bitcoin, functioning similarly to a mortgage where Bitcoin serves as collateral. Upon repayment, borrowers regain their Bitcoin, while failure to repay results in liquidation of the Bitcoin to cover the loan amount, ensuring investor protection. Firefish's platform enables direct peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries, targeting individuals and institutions aiming to leverage Bitcoin for liquidity, with support for markets in Europe, including Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, as well as stablecoin markets in the U.
S. Firefish generates revenue through the facilitation of Bitcoin-backed loans, where borrowers pay interest on the cash they receive against their collateralized Bitcoin. Transactions occur as borrowers set loan terms ranging from three to eighteen months, matched with investors providing the capital. Interest rates can reach up to 13% annually, establishing a structured financial relationship between the firm and its clients.
