Barely two years ago, Bitcoin credit was virtually non-existent. Today, Dan Hillery from UTXO explains how a $16 billion sector might eventually compete with the network’s own valuation.
Two years back, digital credit backed by Bitcoin was almost entirely absent. Presently, it stands as an approximate $16 billion market, and Dan Hillery from UXTO believes this financialization layer situated atop Bitcoin could eventually match the network itself. During the inaugural episode of The Allocators Edge, Hillery analyzes the pricing mechanisms of variable-rate preferred securities such as STRC and SATA, explains how repurchases maintain their stability around a $100 par value, and differentiates digital credit risk from digital equity risk. Furthermore, he details the structured credit fund he is currently developing, which features both senior and junior tranches.
