AI Summary

Summarized by AI from the source below

Research commissioned by Ledn reveals that over 88% of Bitcoin (BTC) holders in the U.S. and Australia are open to borrowing against their digital assets, although only 14% currently do. This results in a 'collateral gap', represented by a 6-to-1 ratio between interest and actual borrowing. Ledn, which has surpassed $10 billion in Bitcoin-backed loans since 2018, finds that issues of trust and price volatility deter potential borrowers. Among active borrowers, 62% report buying more Bitcoin, indicating a long-term growth focus.
