Summary
Selling Bitcoin to access liquidity means a taxable event, losing your position, and missing whatever comes next. CRYPTO-BACKED LENDING is the alternative — and Arch Lending lets borrowers use Bitcoin and digital assets as collateral to access cash without ever selling their holdings. Himanshu, CTO of Arch Lending, joins Ashton Addison on Blockchain Interviews to break down how crypto-backed loans actually work, how Arch protects borrower collateral when Bitcoin prices move sharply, and what a margin call looks like in practice. One of Arch's clients — Tyler Martin, a business owner and former sailing captain — used a Bitcoin-backed loan to buy a blue-water yacht and now sails the Caribbean with his wife while running his business remotely. He kept his Bitcoin. He got the cash. Himanshu explains the mechanics, the risk model, and who these loans are actually built for — from high-net-worth holders to everyday crypto investors who have accumulated and don't want to sell. 🔗 https://archlending.com 🔔JOIN OUR FREE NEWSLETTER FOR 100X GAINS🔔: https://cryptocoinshow.substack.com/subscribe
