Live From DAS: The Return of Bitcoin-Based Lending | John Glover

Bullish:

• $BTC - Bitcoin is seen as superior collateral for lending due to its 24/7 liquidity and deep markets, with a successful track record in Bitcoin-backed loans.

  • “Bitcoin has twenty four seven, three 60 five markets, very, very deep and growing liquidity. So you just don't have that exposure to, you know, something going wrong when you're sleeping and the market's closed.”

  • “We've done $1,200,000,000 worth of retail loans, across, I think, 57,000 or 60,000 individual loans, and we've never lost a penny or Satoshi on any of the loans because of that methodology.”

• $EM - There's significant potential in serving underbanked populations in emerging markets, particularly Latin America, with Bitcoin-backed loans.

  • “If we look at, you know, our Latin American client base, which is quite a large portion of our of our exposure, they don't have access to traditional financial institutions, period.”

• $TRADFI - There are potential opportunities in the traditional finance space as crypto lending companies explore collaborations.

  • “What we're working on is going to be unlocking that for us in the TradFi space, which is really exciting.”
