LTV
defi
Loan-to-Value
The ratio between the amount borrowed and the value of the collateral deposited, expressed as a percentage. In DeFi lending, a typical maximum LTV is 75-80%, meaning you can borrow up to 75-80% of your collateral's value. If the LTV exceeds the liquidation threshold due to collateral price decline, the position is automatically liquidated to protect the protocol.
