暗号支援ローンの隠された富のロックを解除します!

それで、暗号の世界はまだ米国の銀行システムと完全に統合されていませんよね?まあ、それはマラキーの束です!しかし、私の友人は、この小さなしゃっくりが暗号出身の人物が輝く機会を生み出したので、私の友人を恐れないでください。 🌟

ご存知のように、これらの人々は、伝統的な金融機関がよだれを垂らしているものを持っています – 良い担保。そして、彼らはそれを使用して米ドル(USD)を借りています。結果? 「すべき」以上のものをもたらす可能性がある資産支援ローン。

今、私はあなたが考えていることを知っています:「ラリー、それはジャンクボンドのためではないのですか?」まあ、私の親愛なるワトソン、これらのBTCに裏打ちされたローンは、実際には、投資適性債よりもリスクが少ないジャンク債よりも多くの利回りを提供するかもしれません。 💸

Overcollateralized BTC-backed loans are a possible solution for traditional finance institutions participating in crypto at scale. These transactions can be structured in a Tri-Party arrangement, which is when two parties engage a third party as a trusted custodian for funds held in escrow. This removes the need to custody crypto, handle margin calls and deal with selling the collateral under default conditions.

Crypto market participants and businesses simply do not have full access to the USD banking system. These BTC-backed loans are a possible solution to fill the gap. The collateral is good, tradable and liquid in both on- and offshore markets. This compares favorably with default conditions in corporate loans where bankruptcy proceedings can last for years (or decades).

A portfolio of such loans does not represent diversification since all these loans would be backed by cryptocurrency. However, that does mean that a portfolio may be hedged using the options* market, which has also become liquid in both listed and OTC markets for BTC.

The BTC-backed loan market is an opportunity that bridges crypto and traditional finance. It’s not meant to provide the sort of “degen” returns that may be available in outright positions but instead speaks to the sorts of investment parameters that come with vocabulary recognizable to the Patagonia vest-wearing crowd. Terms like “excess risk-adjusted return” and “harvesting premiums” are reminiscent of the 80s and 90s.
