BTC active collateral refers to Bitcoin (BTC) that is currently locked or committed as security within decentralized finance protocols or lending platforms. This BTC serves as a guarantee for loans or other financial positions, enabling users to borrow other assets or participate in various DeFi activities. The value of this collateral is monitored constantly to prevent liquidation events. Its presence underpins the stability of these financial operations.
