Loan-to-value
A loan’s value relative to its collateral value, often expressed as a percentage.
In more detail
LTV helps you see how much of a collateral position has been borrowed against. Protocols also use a maximum LTV parameter to limit new borrowing. That borrowing cap isn't necessarily the liquidation threshold, so don't use one number for both decisions. Changes in collateral prices or debt can change your actual ratio.
How you might use it
With $400 of debt against $1,000 of collateral, your current LTV is 40%; you check the protocol’s separate borrowing and liquidation limits.
