Kevin Bell, CFA
President, Cadena Bitcoin
Cadena Bitcoin lets you use Bitcoin flexibly—whether you want to grow your Bitcoin holdings, access fiat without losing Bitcoin exposure, or generate fiat returns secured by Bitcoin. Here’s how it works for two types of users:
Bob wants more Bitcoin exposure without selling his stash. He uses his Bitcoin as collateral to borrow additional Bitcoin via Cadena, allowing him to HODL more.
Alternatively, if Bob needs fiat (e.g., for a big purchase, debt payoff, or starting a business), he can borrow Bitcoin, sell it for fiat, and remain protected if Bitcoin’s price rises.
Alice seeks a high risk-adjusted fiat return, secured by Bitcoin collateral. She’s okay with the risk of losing fiat if Bitcoin’s value drops beyond her collateral coverage.
If Bitcoin falls significantly during the loan term, Alice keeps all the collateral, boosting her Bitcoin holdings.
For the term of the loan, user funds are time locked on the Bitcoin blockchain then settled based on Bitcoin’s final price.
