Two leading global crypto financial services companies BlockFi and FTX have today signed a term paper securing a $250 million revolving line of credit. This will provide BlockFi with access to more capital.
The agreement comes at a time when the crypto market has been quite volatile and several cryptocurrency service providers like Celcius have been faced with the risk of insolvency.
After signing the term paper, the CEO and co-founder of BlockFi, Zac Prince, tweeted saying that the “agreement also unlocks future collaboration and innovation between BlockFi & FTX” as the two work to “accelerate prosperity worldwide through crypto financial services.”
This agreement also unlocks future collaboration and innovation between BlockFi & FTX as we work to accelerate prosperity worldwide through crypto financial services. This is a significant step forward in our commitment to the strength and accessibility of crypto markets.

The BlockFi accounts under consideration here include the BlockFi Interest Account, the BlockFi Personalized Yield, and the BlockFi Loan collateral. The same was also affirmed by another tweet by the BlockFi team.
Today’s landmark announcement reinforces BlockFi’s longstanding commitment to serving its clients and ensuring their funds are safeguarded. BlockFi has a strong balance sheet and is well positioned for long-term stability as we continue to operate as business as usual.
