How do crypto-backed loans work, and how can investors access liquidity without selling their underlying digital assets? In this special edition of Tapping Into Crypto, Pav is joined in the studio by Swyftx Senior Product Manager Chris Giovine. After two long years of patiently waiting in the wings and dropping hints to get on the mic, Chris finally gets his turn in the hot seat! With the banter out of the way, Pav and Chris jump straight into the latest market developments and Bitcoin's key weekly close above the 50-week simple moving average (SMA). Together, they break down the mechanics, perks, and potential pitfalls of crypto-backed lending. Chris explains how collateralised loans mirror everyday secured loans like mortgages or car finance, demystifies Loan-to-Value Ratios (LVR), and contrasts high-risk instant DeFi liquidations with the safeguards built into centralised platforms.  Plus, the pair look ahead to a future where traders borrow against tokenised shares like Nvidia and share their price targets for the current cycle.
