My concern with a Bitcoin-linked digital credit product is that, if it becomes extremely large relative to the underlying Bitcoin market, the capital flows required to issue, support, and maintain that credit structure could begin influencing Bitcoin’s own price formation.
At sufficient scale, Bitcoin could increasingly function as the volatile reserve asset beneath a large dollar-denominated credit system.
That could alter Bitcoin’s natural volatility profile and, more importantly, create a reflexive attack vector in which stress in the credit structure or its associated capital markets could ultimately transmit back into Bitcoin through reduced buying capacity or forced asset sales.
