I saw the squawk box piece.
I was wondering about it.
Re-hypothecating is actually all going to be used to short Bitcoin in non cash settled markets most likely. This should get really good interest rates. But it’s also the reason you will need a clearing house that can be trusted and guarantee the performance of the agreement. E.G. a trusted intermediary.
We are a long way from this level of complexity.
