In the context of digital assets, a credit line refers to a pre-approved amount of cryptocurrency that a borrower can access as needed. Unlike a traditional loan with a fixed disbursement, a credit line permits flexible withdrawals up to a specified limit. Interest is typically accrued only on the amount utilized.
