# Borrow Assets

On Nitron, you can borrow assets without actual ownership at a low interest rate. In order to borrow a certain amount of an asset, you must hold a certain amount of collateral to back your borrowings. Hence if you have no collateral holdings, you will not be able to borrow any assets.

These loans do not have any expiry or obligation date, as long as your collateral holding is back it.
