Bitcoin Collateralized Lending Market Could Reach $1 Trillion, Report Shows

According to CoinDesk, a report by crypto lending platform Ledn projects the global Bitcoin collateralized lending market could surge from approximately $3 billion currently to $1 trillion within the next decade.

A survey by Protocol Theory of 1,244 crypto asset holders in the U.S. and Australia found that 88% expressed willingness to use collateralized loans or credit products, yet only 14% currently do so. Ledn described this as a "6:1 interest-to-adoption gap." The firm's co-founder attributed the disconnect to insufficient trust infrastructure, noting that while demand exists, the industry lacks established systems to instill user confidence in borrowing.
