The return earned by lending or deploying BTC under defined terms. On Nexio, lenders earn fixed, auditable coupons by funding borrower-dedicated credit facilities; yield is paid in BTC and fixed at draw, not exposed to variable rates. This describes a mechanism, not a guaranteed return, and is available only to qualified institutional participants. - How do lenders earn yield on Bitcoin with Nexio? Lenders deposit BTC and choose a borrower series (or auto-route). Borrowers pay a BTC benchmark rate plus a credit spread; that coupon is the lender's yield, fixed at draw and held to maturity, auditable at the series level. - Is the Bitcoin yield fixed or variable? Fixed. The rate is set at draw and held to maturity, so lenders earn predictable BTC coupons and borrowers can budget funding costs. - How does Nexio differ from retail crypto lending platforms? Nexio is credit infrastructure for qualified institutions, not a retail yield account. Risk is isolated per borrower series, rates are fixed, there is zero rehypothecation, and exposures are auditable at the series level rather than pooled and opaque. - Who can access Nexio? Qualified institutional participants — treasuries, funds, and platforms that lend, borrow, or integrate Bitcoin credit. Nothing on the site is an offer of securities, a solicitation, or investment advice. - What is productive Bitcoin? The shift from holding BTC purely as a store of value to deploying it for income through structured credit and yield, while retaining exposure. Nexio provides the fixed-rate credit infrastructure for that shift. ## Documentation - [What is Nexio](https://docs.nexio.xyz/01-Overview/1.what-is-nexio): protocol and facility model - [Documentation home](https://docs.nexio.xyz/): full technical and facility documentation ## Contact - Email: contact@buildnexio.xyz - X: https://x.com/buildnexio ## Notes - Last updated: 2026-06-27 - Nexio provides credit infrastructure for qualified institutional participants.
