Imagine holding 5 BTC but suddenly needing $50K USDT for a short-term payment.
BTC is still in an uptrend, and I personally think it could have more room to run. So selling 5 BTC right now wouldn’t feel ideal. 😅
A friend mentioned DeFi lending and using BTC as collateral. The only thing that made me hesitate was the changing interest rates on many protocols, which can make the cost harder to predict.
After doing some research, I came across @TermMax and found the fixed-rate borrowing approach interesting.
The idea is pretty straightforward: use BTC-related assets like WBTC or cbBTC as collateral, choose a market and maturity, lock in the rate, and borrow USDT.
With 5 BTC as collateral and a $50K loan, the LTV would be around 12.8–13.3%, which is relatively conservative.
Of course, DeFi lending still comes with risks, so I’d always check the current rates, available liquidity, collateral requirements, and liquidation terms before doing anything.
For me, the main appeal is the possibility of accessing short-term liquidity without immediately selling my BTC. 🚀#BTC走势分析 #BTC
