Bitcoin institutional demand harder to see beyond ETFs as collateral loan risks rise

Risks in the bitcoin market are shifting from spot exchange-traded fund inflows and outflows to forced liquidation zones created by collateralised lending structures, an analysis said.

Bitcoin finance platform Strike launches collateralised loan without margin calls

Bitcoin financial services platform Strike has launched a bitcoin-backed loan product that does not trigger margin calls or price-based forced liquidation even if bitcoin prices fall sharply. The product reduces liquidation risk in bear markets but comes with higher interest rates of 10.7 to 14.2 percent, a six-month term and strict repayment requirements. If borrowers miss payments, they must pay within 10 days or contact Strike, or collateral may be liquidated.
