High-Risk DeFi Loans Could Shake Crypto Markets

Defi

After the US elections, a notable development is unfolding in the cryptocurrency world. High-risk DeFi (decentralized finance) loans have surged in recent months. An analysis by IntoTheBlock reveals that the value of these loans has significantly increased, especially after the elections.

These loans are typically collateralized by volatile assets, with collateral values close to their liquidation threshold. Investors use these loans to capitalize on market fluctuations. However, if these loans are collectively liquidated, it could have a significant impact on the broader crypto market.

Many crypto experts argue that mass liquidations of high-risk loans may not necessarily trigger a major market collapse. Alexander Sudeykin, co-founder of Evaa Protocol, said, “In recent years, DeFi has matured, with major protocols adopting strong risk management practices.” This means DeFi has become more resilient to risks, and the impact of large-scale liquidations might be limited.

However, DeFi loans, while more accessible than traditional bank loans, come with higher risks due to the overcollateralization requirement and the volatility of the assets used as collateral. Investors are looking to profit but may face substantial losses. This highlights the need for effective risk management.

As DeFi loans rise during a volatile period in the crypto markets, it signals potential uncertainties in the future.
