TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin-backed loans allow holders to borrow cash or stablecoins without selling their BTC, using the cryptocurrency as collateral. The mechanism hinges on collateral ratios, loan-to-value (LTV) thresholds and liquidation rules that determine how much can be borrowed and when positions are closed. The explainer outlines how these three components interact in practice.

This is a mechanism explainer rather than news, and its real weight lies in the risk architecture it describes: the LTV threshold and liquidation rules effectively decide how much of a holder's BTC exposure is at stake in a drawdown, which matters more than the borrowing capacity itself. It affects leveraged holders and the lending venues that set those parameters, since liquidation cascades are where collateralized lending turns into market-wide selling pressure. The open question is whether LTV discipline holds as competition for yield pushes lenders toward looser terms.
