Investors often prioritize holding Bitcoin, opting for a humble lifestyle instead of liquidating assets for real estate purchases. The challenge lies in the low-frequency turnover and illiquidity of real estate markets, which complicates the integration of Bitcoin as collateral. Instead of overcomplicating the process, investors can simply borrow against their Bitcoin to finance real estate acquisitions. While Bitcoin-backed mortgage products exist and further innovations are anticipated, regulatory complexities in real estate markets create hurdles for lenders in collateral liquidation in case of borrower default.
In this episode, Preston interviews Max Kei and Pascal Hugli, diving deep into how Bitcoin's unique characteristics position it as the ultimate collateral for institutional lending. The discussion covers key topics such as risk management, the role of stablecoins, peer-to-peer lending versus traditional finance, and the future of Bitcoin in institutional portfolios. Max and Pascal share their perspectives on the barriers to institutional adoption, the evolving regulatory environment, and the innovations shaping the future of Bitcoin lending and borrowing platforms.
