The Antidote to the Bitcoin Lending Rehypothecation Trap

In this episode of the Becoming Sovereign podcast, host Brandon Karpeles sits down with Kevin Bell, CFA and Founder of Cadena Bitcoin. Kevin breaks down how Cadena is building an essential piece of the Bitcoin economy by offering non-custodial, peer-to-peer lending and borrowing directly on Bitcoin's base layer.

They discuss the need for financial services that let users access liquidity or earn yield without surrendering their private keys or facing margin calls, and how Cadena uses Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) to eliminate counterparty risk.
