A credit facility is a type of lending arrangement that permits a borrower to draw funds up to a predetermined maximum amount over a specified period. In digital asset markets, this can involve collateralized loans where cryptocurrency holdings secure a line of credit. Such facilities provide liquidity to users without requiring them to sell their underlying digital assets. They offer financial flexibility for asset holders.
