Asset-backed financing involves obtaining capital by pledging specific assets as collateral for a loan or other credit arrangement. Within the digital asset sector, this extends to using cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens, or tokenized real-world assets to secure funding. These arrangements enable asset holders to acquire liquidity without needing to sell their underlying digital holdings. It provides a flexible financial tool for participants in decentralized markets.
