Case Studies

Renovating the Kitchen

Juliette wanted to update her kitchen with not just new appliances, but structural improvements as well. Short of the $40k to commence the works - and not wanting to sell her ETH - she decided to get a Crypto-Backed Loan. 

Upgrade Your Home Without Selling Your Crypto

Renovating doesn’t have to mean draining your savings or selling your crypto at the wrong time. With a crypto-backed loan, homeowners can unlock funds for renovations while keeping their long-term exposure intact. Whether it’s a cosmetic refresh or a full structural upgrade, using crypto as security offers a faster, more flexible way to fund home improvements.
Here’s how one Block Earner customer used a crypto-backed loan to renovate her kitchen:

The Challenge

Juliette wanted to upgrade her kitchen with new appliances and structural improvements, but was around $40,000 short of the total renovation cost. While she held ETH, she didn’t want to sell it - especially in a volatile market - or trigger a tax event. Traditional options like personal loans came with higher interest rates and lengthy approval processes, making them less appealing.

Block Earner provided:

  • Access renovation funds without selling ETH

  • Avoid capital gains tax events

  • Start renovations immediately, without delays
