How to borrow against crypto without selling

A viewer asked: Since we're all getting rich next month, borrowing against XRP making payments seems like the payments would be too high to justify borrowing 12 to 15% so just sell or where do you get better returns? This recording is Jake Claver's answer, in full and unedited.

What this recording covers

Claver explains a collateralized borrowing model designed to access liquidity without selling digital asset holdings. Rather than pledging an entire position, an owner can secure an interest-only loan against a smaller fraction of the assets. The remaining majority of the holding is deployed into decentralized finance protocols or liquidity pools to generate recurring cash flow. Claver explains that the cash flow generated by the larger allocation serves to cover the ongoing debt service requirements of the loan. When the loan reaches maturity, the borrower rolls the simple note forward using the existing collateral base. Claver compares this structure to establishing a home equity line of credit on a rented residential property, where tenant rental payments cover the debt service. He emphasizes that segregating collateral from productive capital helps manage loan-to-value ratios, and suggests working with licensed advisory professionals to structure complex debt strategies.
