By using Cap for their borrowing needs, firms like Flow Traders using Lombard's Bitcoin Onchain Credit Strategy can now enter a market that has historically been difficult for institutions to access. Here's what makes it work. Onchain lending has always required borrowers to post their own collateral. Cap separates those roles: the collateral becomes the underwriter's responsibility, not the borrower’s. In this case, Lombard is the underwriter vouching for institutional borrowers through its Bitcoin Onchain Credit Strategy. The result is a structure where every participant wins: → Flow Traders borrows in a capital-efficient way → Cap depositors are covered against borrower activity → Bitcoin Onchain Credit Strategy depositors earn a premium for providing protection And none of it runs on manual intervention. Cap's automated marketplace uses smart contracts to allocate capital, with financial guarantees enforcing every outcome. By aligning incentives so that each participant acts in their own self-interest, the system is built to be antifragile. This onboarding reflects Cap's continued momentum in bringing institutions onchain as a trusted, reliable source of capital. More to come, soon.

BTC miners, ETH restakers and credit funds sit in the middle of Cap's system. They allocate depositor capital to manufacturing, trade finance and inventory, and post their own assets as guarantee. If an underwriter makes a bad call, their collateral repays depositors first. Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, CEO of cap, explains who bears the risk behind stcUSD.

Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, CEO of cap, arrives with a position: DeFi yield has depended on one source, Bitcoin markets, in three costumes: Basis trading, BTC-backed lending, and token emissions. When the price drops, all three stop paying. His answer is stcUSD: yield imported from the productive economy, with underwriters posting their own collateral as first loss. Episode 02 - Tomorrow, 10:00 ET.

How does crypto fix private credit? When these funds reach a certain scale, it becomes impossible for committees to allocate effectively. Instead of relying on people, crypto creates markets for credit that remain competitive for lenders, borrowers, and underwriters. Yes, this is exactly how Cap works and is the basis for the entire platform.
