"We put it in the same framework that credit card loans, auto-loans, even residential mortgages are done." "Different institutions can buy it. We had a large re-insurance company participate in the senior tranche of the debt. Pension funds, life insurance companies, etc investing in these credit vehicles." "We had over 50 different roadshow meetings to market the asset backed securitization, with 15 different institutions participate and buy it." @adamreeds' of @hodlwithLedn on Bitcoin-backed loan securitization.

@callebtc Want to add any x402 endpoints to my new 402index.io site? Trying to get bitcoiners to build moar! x.com/RyanTheGentry/…

I just wish these new L2s would focus on scaling Bitcoin payments But instead they all turn into shitcoin gambling casinos and stablecoin platforms It's all so tiring

Entries still open, winner announced tomorrow!

"What people into bankruptcy in 2022 was not just losses on the balance sheet, but issues with duration." "If we see panic in the streets, that's more likely to push some of these companies over the edge." "A lot of folks are probably trying to trade out of this position." @starkandlime of @LygosFinance says there's likely more bodies in the water following BlockFills Chapter 11 notice.

Completely true, the concentration of public actors is ended contrary to what was previously anticipated Geographical diversification is also included for network hashrate ⛏️

Ledn's CEO @adamreeds thinks Bitcoin will back your mortgage one day. "We put bitcoin in Fidelity as the custodian. So they're familiar with Fidelity as a name." "It was just Bitcoin as the asset that was new. And again they have the backup of S&P global that they can rely on." "We see this developing residential mortgages, where there's hundreds of billions of dollars happening every year." @hodlwithLedn @blockspace

North Korea hackers are targeting Bitcoiners on Telegram. @bitrefill fell victim to the DPRK Lazarus / Bluenoroff that about 18,000 purchase records were stolen through a compromised employee laptop. Prayers up for Bitrefill 🙏

A picture's worth a thousand words. Vanity Fair's portrayal of "Crypto's True Believers" broke heads the last 48 hours, with cameos from big names like @novogratz & @Melt_Dem. Was it a hit piece? Is it something deeper?

@BuzzardCapital @arkham Arkham has noted less flows coming in, more going out.

@blockspace @arkham $btdr odd post. Bhutan routinely transfer BTC to spend. 600MW converted in recent monthly update for BTC mining.

Is Bhutan still mining Bitcoin? A new on-chain report from data analytics firm @arkham spotted a transfer of 973 bitcoin worth $72.32 million from the Royal Government of Bhutan's BTC address, creating speculation around the Asian nation-state's current Bitcoin mining activities. The country first entered the Bitcoin space via mining, utilizing hydroelectric power mine Bitcoin at a discount compared to the spot market. Bitcoin miner Bitdeer (NASDAQ: $BTDR) is a notable player in Bhutan’s mining market, investing an estimated $150 million into the country as of 2024.
