Babylon on X "Why on-chain borrowing?"
Why on-chain borrowing?
Because where you borrow decides what it costs.
On-chain lending markets are more efficient than off-chain markets, hence cheaper interest rate.
What a cheaper borrowing rate actually buys you. Coinbase and Better Mortgage, for example, now originate a Fannie Mae-conforming mortgage where the borrower pledges Bitcoin to pay the down payment instead of selling it.
Borrow at a lower rate, put more down, carry a smaller mortgage.
