I have seen very little written anywhere about how Lombard’s 13 August announcement might affect its status as collateral. I think we all know targeting a 2.5% yield on BTC does not come without taking on substantially more risk. It would be nice to hear the stewards’ thoughts on this.

Thank you for your time. Cheers. 🍻
