Bitcoin credit market grows to $16B in two years

  • The bitcoin credit market is estimated at $16 billion
  • Two years ago the segment barely existed
  • Bitcoin's market capitalization is about $1.5 trillion
  • Models include BTC-backed loans, yield products and debt tokenization
Why it matters: Growth in BTC-backed lending expands demand for bitcoin as collateral, but carries liquidation and excessive leverage risks.
