Digital Credit Could Rival Bitcoin's $1.5 Trillion Market: Dan Hillery

Bitcoin-backed digital credit was practically non-existent two years ago. Now it represents an approximately $16 billion market, and UXTO's Dan Hillery believes that the financialization layer built on Bitcoin might eventually match the value of the network itself. During the first episode of The Allocators Edge, Hillery explains how variable-rate preferred securities such as STRC and SATA are valued, the role of buybacks in keeping them near $100 par, and the distinctions between digital credit risk and digital equity risk. Additionally, he details the structured credit fund he is developing, including its senior and junior tranches.
