Your Risk is not Risk
summary
Panel explains concrete Bitcoin credit mechanics: collateralizing BTC to mint a Bitcoin‑backed stablecoin (xero) and dollar loans, a USDC savings product paying ~8% while borrowers pay 7.9% and lenders charge ~2% fees, plus zero percent interest loans in DeFi and ~50 bps origination fees. Tools include on‑chain contracts, a proof audit cadence and proof of reserves, and a retail proof‑of‑reserves platform (hoseki.app). Biggest risks: price drops trigger liquidations; mitigations include auto top‑up collateral and external audits (Deloitte); some custodial lenders failed due to rehypothecation and poor underwriting.
