Lionsoul Global is pleased to share a new CoinDesk article by our Chief Investment Officer, Gregory Mall: Crypto For Advisors: Is Bitcoin Lending Back?

In this piece, Gregory charts crypto lending’s reset and rebuild - how DeFi’s transparency and CeFi’s regulation-first approach are reshaping the market for institutions and advisors.

Highlights:

From Reset to Rebuild: Post-2022 failures drove stricter collateral, LTV and rehypothecation policies; activity is returning with more conservative structures.

CeFi x DeFi: On-chain visibility (DeFi) + licensed counterparties and KYC/AML (CeFi) = complementary paths serving different client mandates.

Why It Persists: 24/7 liquidity, potential tax advantages of Lombard-style borrowing, and long-term BTC holders’ preference for low-LTV financing continue to drive demand for collateralized crypto loans.
