# January 2026 Overview

January was a month of **recalibration** and stress-testing, both for the global macroeconomic landscape and the Bitcoin-backed lending ecosystem.

Following a period of stability in December, the market entered a sharp corrective phase in late January. This Bitcoin downturn saw volatility double compared to the previous month's average, yet market liquidity remained remarkably robust. This price action was largely driven by a high correlation with the global market; as equity markets faltered, institutional algorithms triggered mechanical sell orders to mitigate Value at Risk (VaR). This automated liquidation by institutional funds occurred independently of Bitcoin’s strong underlying fundamentals.

This dynamic didn’t influence Debifi’s lending activity. Despite elevated market volatility and a sharp drawdown, **the platform continues to see new contracts being confirmed**, increased interest from institutional Lenders and Borrowers, and loans remained conservatively collateralized with stable loan-to-value ratios (average of 60%). This outcome highlights Bitcoin’s unique capacity to absorb price shocks while remaining usable as reliable collateral, as well as the effectiveness of Debifi’s disciplined four steps margin call framework.

As the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio approaches the threshold of 75%, the platform automatically triggers notifications via the mobile app and email, advising the borrower to either [top up their collateral or partially repay the loan](/blog/en/smart-loan-management). This proactive approach is essential as it empowers users to manage their risk in real-time, preventing unexpected liquidations during periods of high volatility.

Despite the month’s volatility, January’s conclusion remains positive. Bitcoin’s ability to function as robust collateral under pressure confirms the strength of this asset class. At Debifi, we are entering 2026 with a clear focus: scaling our platform while upholding the highest standards of transparency. Through our MultiSig architecture and sound risk management, we continue to offer a sanctuary for those seeking to leverage their Bitcoin without compromising on security.

Zurich, 24 October, 8:00 AM CET — **[Sygnum](https://www.sygnum.com)**, a global digital asset banking group, announces its partnership with **Debifi**, a Bitcoin-backed non-custodial lending platform, to develop **MultiSYG**, an innovative Bitcoin-native multi-signature lending solution. The product, set to launch in H1 2026, is the first multi-signature Bitcoin lending solution from a regulated bank. MultiSYG empowers borrowers to maintain shared control of their collateral through distributed key management rather than via a single custodian. At the same time, they also benefit from the competitive rates, flexible drawdown schedule, loan durations – and white-glove service – of a regulated bank.  

MultiSYG enables Sygnum clients to draw fiat loans against their Bitcoin collateral held in a 3-out-of-5 multi-signature escrow wallet. Distributed control requires multiple private keys to authorise transactions, enabling Bitcoin holders to maintain visibility of their collateral on-chain. This is in line with the fundamental principle of "not your keys, not your coins" that resonates strongly within the Bitcoin community.  

> "A Bitcoin loan should not require blind trust in a custodian," says **Max Kei**, CEO and Founder of Debifi. "MultiSYG's 3-out-of-5 key structure means borrowers can verify their collateral on-chain, while continuing to benefit from Sygnum’s banking relationship and service. After facilitating millions in non-custodial loans, we know this is what the market has been waiting for."  

> “With MultiSYG, we are bringing Bitcoin-native technology to regulated bank lending" says **Pascal Eberle**, Bitcoin@Sygnum and MultiSYG initiative lead at Sygnum Bank. "Borrowers can benefit from bank-grade terms in pricing, drawdown flexibility, and loan duration, while keeping cryptographic proof of their holdings and partial control of their Bitcoin via multi-signature technology. MultiSYG combines the best of both worlds—the ability to hold your own keys while accessing regulated banking products and white-glove service.”  

While other banks require full custody for Bitcoin-backed loans, MultiSYG's distributed key management means clients retain verifiable control of their collateral throughout the loan term – a growing demand from Bitcoin investors. MultiSYG provides a cryptographic guarantee that assets are not rehypothecated, a practice common at traditional banks and other lending services providers.  

This positions Sygnum as the only regulated bank globally offering Bitcoin lending that aligns with the self-sovereignty principles driving institutional Bitcoin adoption. This is a critical differentiator as more companies add Bitcoin to their balance sheets. MultiSYG will complement Sygnum's existing Credit & Lending portfolio and will be available to all Sygnum Bank customers, irrespective of the client’s jurisdiction, upon launch in H1 2026.

Sygnum and Debifi Combine Bitcoin Multi-Sig Technology with Regulated Bank Lending Services

Debifi CEO Max Kei will speak at [PlanB Forum in Lugano](https://planb.lugano.ch/planb-forum/) on October 24-25, joining Pascal Eberle from [Sygnum Bank](https://www.sygnum.com) for "Building 21st Century Banking: Better, Bolder, Bitcoin" at 5:30 PM on the 24th. The panel asks a question Kei has spent seven years answering in code: what does banking look like when you start with Bitcoin's security model instead of retrofitting it onto legacy finance?

## From Private Banking to Bitcoin Infrastructure

Kei's path gives him a particular lens on this conversation. After ten years managing client assets in traditional finance, he left banking in late 2015 after a client demonstrated a $15,000 cross-border bitcoin transaction that took seconds. What seemed insane initially became obvious after research—Bitcoin wasn't just different money, it was different infrastructure.

By 2017, Kei was building in the Bitcoin space. He's since survived multiple bear markets while developing noncustodial peer-to-peer bitcoin-backed lending infrastructure, earning endorsements from Preston Pysh (now a Strategic Advisor to Debifi) and cypherpunk Adam Back. When financial institutions started seeking bitcoin-backed lending solutions, Kei recognized they needed purpose-built infrastructure. Debifi launched in March 2024 as that solution.

## Why 3-of-4 Multisig Changes the Security Model

Debifi's core differentiator is its 3-of-4 multisig setup. Most platforms use 2-of-3 multisig: borrower, lender, and platform each hold one key, requiring two signatures to move bitcoin. Debifi adds a fourth key held by an independent institution. Three signatures are still required for any transaction, but now an attacker would need to compromise three separate entities instead of two.

The borrower's key lives on their mobile device—Debifi supports hardware wallets. The lender holds their key. Debifi and the independent institution hold the remaining two. No single party can move the bitcoin unilaterally.

## Why Noncustodial Architecture Matters

The collateral stays in a multisig escrow address throughout the loan lifecycle—verifiable on-chain, enforced by Bitcoin's scripting capabilities, not by legal agreements or trust. Kei's team surveyed 300 bitcoiners: custodial loans at 8% or noncustodial at 11-12%? 91% chose noncustodial despite higher rates.

That preference reflects learned experience. BlockFi, Celsius, and Voyager all filed for bankruptcy in 2022, locking up billions in customer bitcoin. Debifi's architecture makes those failure modes impossible—not because the team is more trustworthy, but because the bitcoin never leaves cryptographic control. The security model doesn't depend on Debifi being honest. It depends on three-of-four signatures and Bitcoin's native scripting.

## Building Infrastructure for Institutional Bitcoin Lending

Kei now believes banks won't disappear in a Bitcoin future—they'll become infrastructure providers. Debifi operates as exactly that: infrastructure connecting lenders with borrowers seeking bitcoin-backed loans while maintaining noncustodial security.

The platform handles key management, dispute resolution, and loan coordination while keeping bitcoin under cryptographic control rather than custodial control.

## The Question for Lugano

The "Building 21st Century Banking" panel happens at **5:30 PM on October 24th at PlanB Forum**—fitting location given Lugano's positioning as Europe's Bitcoin hub through the Plan B initiative. Kei will be discussing infrastructure his team has built and battle-tested through bear markets. Debifi's noncustodial model proves institutional bitcoin lending works without custodial risk. The industry's choice: build on Bitcoin's security guarantees or repeat 2022's failures.

Max Kei Speaking at PlanB Forum Lugano

Two new features are now live for verified [Debifi](https://debifi.com) users — the **Account Dashboard** and the **Email Notifications System**.  
Both deliver sharper oversight, stronger security, and greater confidence in every transaction.

### Account Dashboard
![Account Dashboard](https://zr5pqljgeynt.compat.objectstorage.eu-zurich-1.oraclecloud.com/blog-production-mainnet/image_4_85ac53a7eb.png)

The new dashboard brings all your lending and borrowing data into one clear, time-selectable view.  
Borrowers can now see their **total borrowed amount**, **interest accrued**, **next payment**, and **BTC collateral** securing each loan.  
Lenders gain instant visibility into their **total loaned funds**, **expected earnings**, and **collateral value** protecting active offers.

Dashboard panels update in real time and cover **active contracts and offers**, **APR and term ranges**, **LTV ratios**, and **payment methods in use**.  
Collateral statistics convert locked BTC into USD and display **average portfolio LTV** and **average BTC liquidation rate**, allowing precise tracking of portfolio performance and margin conditions.  

The **historical performance** section consolidates lifetime activity — **total volume borrowed or lent**, **interest paid or earned**, **average APR and term**, **contract outcomes**, and **payment distribution**.  
It provides a transparent, data-driven record of your Bitcoin-backed operations on Debifi.

### Email Notifications System

Alongside the dashboard, users now receive automatic email alerts for important account and transaction events.  
Notifications are sent when an **origination fee**, **release**, **refund**, or **liquidation transaction** requires signing; when a **repayment**, **release**, or **refund address** is provided or changed; if your **email address** or **2FA seed** has been changed; when a **login from an unusual IP** is detected; or when your **IP allowlist** has been set, unset, or updated.  

Each message includes concise context and a direct link to review or sign, keeping you informed and in control at all times.

These updates reinforce Debifi’s Bitcoin-first principles: transparency, security, and user sovereignty over collateral and capital.

**Log in to your account to explore the new dashboard and review your notification settings.**

BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF surges into the nation’s AUM elite as October inflows accelerate and BTC pushes toward $120,000.  

---

## Why This Matters Now
On **October 2, 2025**, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ([IBIT](https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/products/333011/ishares-bitcoin-trust)) joined the ranks of the **20 largest U.S. exchange-traded funds by assets under management (AUM)**—an echelon historically dominated by equity and bond exposures.  

That day, **U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded ~$675.8M in net inflows**, their strongest daily haul since early September. IBIT alone drew **$405.5M**, its biggest single-day intake since mid-August, while **Bitcoin traded around $119K–$120K**.  

For institutional allocators, this signals more than a leaderboard milestone: it confirms that **Bitcoin, wrapped in a regulated ETF, is now a serious portfolio building block**.  
(Source: [CoinDesk](https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2025/10/02/blackrock-s-ibit-enters-top-20-etfs-by-assets-sees-biggest-inflow-since-mid-august))

---

## The Milestone
- **IBIT AUM:** ~$90.7 billion  
- **Status:** Top-20 U.S. ETF by assets  
- **Peers:** SPY, VOO, IVV (S&P 500 trackers), AGG/BND (core bonds), GLD (gold)  

This means a **single-asset, physically backed Bitcoin fund** now sits alongside traditional equity and bond giants in the portfolios of **pensions, banks, and wealth managers**.  

For comparison, **SPDR Gold Shares (GLD)**, the benchmark gold ETF, took over five years to cross $50B in assets after launch. IBIT reached top-20 status in less than two years since its **January 2024 listing**.  

---

## The Flows Driving Adoption
- **October 2, 2025 ETF inflows:**  
  - IBIT: $405.5M  
  - Fidelity Wise Origin (FBTC): $179M  
  - Bitwise: $59M  
  - ARK: $6M  

This institutional cadence follows a pattern: **capital waits through volatility, then moves aggressively when Bitcoin momentum and macro conditions align.**  

Historically, Q4 is Bitcoin’s strongest season, and allocators increasingly prefer ETFs over private custody to gain exposure.  

---

## Bitcoin’s Price Impact
ETF flows are creating a **reinforcing loop**:  
- Creations drive **spot buying**.  
- **Futures open interest** (>$32B) supports hedging.  
- **In-kind creations** (newly approved by the [SEC](https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025-101-sec-permits-kind-creations-redemptions-crypto-etps) cut costs and slippage.  
- IBIT options volume now **rivals Deribit**, making hedging more accessible for institutions.  

The result: **tighter spreads, reduced slippage, and more predictable liquidity for allocators**.  

---

## Institutional Implications
- **Ranking power:** Top-20 ETFs attract automatic **shelf space, model portfolio inclusion, and analyst coverage**.  
- **Operational readiness:** Many pensions and endowments unlock Bitcoin allocations once funds hit size thresholds.  
- **Diversification case:** Bitcoin’s **low correlation with equities** makes it a potential diversifier, especially when **real yields fall**.  
- **Collateral use:** IBIT shares, cleared and settled on exchanges, are evolving into **programmable collateral**, similar to Treasuries or equities.  

---

## Legacy Comparisons: Gold vs Bitcoin
- **GLD (2004):** Transformed access to gold, hitting $1B AUM in 3 days but taking years to scale.  
- **IBIT (2024–2025):** Surpassed **$90B in less than 24 months**.  

Where GLD legitimized gold as a portfolio asset, **IBIT legitimizes Bitcoin in record time**.  

---

## Policy and Market Structure
- **SEC approval** for in-kind creations reduces tax and trading frictions.  
- **Listed options approval** provides institutional hedging tools.  
- **Fed policy shifts** (potential October 2025 rate cuts) create macro tailwinds for **scarcity-driven assets** like Bitcoin.  
(Source: [Federal Reserve FOMC](https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20250917a.htm))

---

## Forward Outlook
Three key signposts:  
1. **Top-10 ETFs**: IBIT is ~$50B away—possible within 2 years if momentum continues.  
2. **Collective footprint**: U.S. Bitcoin ETFs now exceed **$150B AUM** combined.  
3. **Competitive landscape**: Fidelity (FBTC) and Bitwise remain strong challengers, but **BlackRock’s distribution dominance** is unmatched.  

---

## The Bottom Line
IBIT’s arrival in the **U.S. ETF top-20** is **not a one-off anomaly**.  
It’s a **structural signal**:  
- **Bitcoin has crossed into the institutional mainstream.**  
- **ETF mechanics are now efficient, liquid, and scalable.**  
- **Allocators no longer need private keys or custody solutions—just a ticker.**  

BlackRock’s IBIT isn’t just a gateway—it’s proof that **Bitcoin is now institutional finance’s newest building block**.

**Longer terms, stronger security: Debifi expands institutional-grade lending with stablecoin and fiat options at rates starting from 9% APR.**

---

**[September 15, 2025]** – Debifi, the leading non-custodial platform for [Bitcoin-backed lending](https://debifi.com), today announced the rollout of new 24-month loan contracts. The extended term gives borrowers - retail and institutional - predictable, long-horizon access to liquidity while retaining self-custody of their Bitcoin through multisig-secured escrow. Loans are available in fiat currencies and leading stablecoins, with APRs starting at 9%.

## 24-Month Bitcoin Loans for Long-Term Liquidity

The new 24-month option is designed to reduce rollover risk, align with multi-year investment or treasury plans, and provide clearer cost visibility over time. Debifi’s architecture ensures collateral never leaves non-custodial, multi-signature control, enabling borrowers to unlock capital without selling their BTC or compromising security.

## Institutional-Grade Security with Multisig Escrow

> “Bitcoin is super collateral - programmable, transparent, and verifiable 24/7” - said [Max Kei](https://x.com/keidunm), CEO of Debifi.  
> Extending our terms to 24 months lets clients put that collateral to work with less rollover risk and more predictable costs, all while maintaining the strongest standards of self-custody and risk management. This is what institutional-ready Bitcoin finance looks like.
## Debifi Ranked Among Safest Bitcoin Lending Platforms
Debifi’s security and credibility have been independently recognized. **Zone21.com** - a research publication by the **Nunchuk.io** team - ranked Debifi the **#2 safest Bitcoin-backed lending platform globally**, citing its non-custodial design and robust operational controls.  
Combined with market-leading pricing and a transparent risk framework, Debifi continues to set the benchmark for responsible Bitcoin-backed credit.

Bitcoin Treasury Weekly Report - July 12 – 18, 2025

Riga’s **[Baltic Honeybadger](https://baltichoneybadger.com)** has, since its inception, offered a rare exception in a sea of increasingly diluted “crypto” conferences. Organized by **[Hodl Hodl](https://hodlhodl.com/)**, the event remains singularly focused on **Bitcoin**—uncompromised, unsponsored by altcoins, and uninterested in chasing whatever fleeting narratives occupy the broader blockchain industry in a given year.
## Debifi Steps In - And Stands Firm

Now, with **Debifi** stepping in as the main sponsor for its 2025 edition, the alignment appears both deliberate and overdue.

Founded on the principles of **non-custodial, Bitcoin-backed lending**, Debifi is not just underwriting the event’s budget. It is underwriting the ethos. Built on **multisig escrows** and adamantly rejecting **rehypothecation**, Debifi does not offer financial products that merely wear the Bitcoin badge. It builds on Bitcoin in the way that matters—preserving sovereignty, not eroding it.
## More Than Marketing—It’s Conviction
To some, this is a marketing decision. To others, a statement. According to **Debifi CEO Max Kei**, it’s decidedly the latter:

> “Baltic Honeybadger is one of the few events that hasn’t sold out. That matters to us. Supporting it is not a branding exercise - it’s a way to stand with the part of this community that still believes in Bitcoin as it was meant to be: sovereign, secure, and non-negotiable.”
## The Last Stand for Uncompromised Bitcoin

For **Hodl Hodl**, the sentiment is mutual. CEO **Anna** remarked:

> “We share a strong relationship with Debifi. Much like Baltic Honeybadger, this product is built by Bitcoiners, for Bitcoiners. Their decision to take the lead this year goes far beyond financial support - it’s a statement of conviction.”

In a time when digital asset events routinely bend to VC dollars and shapeshift to remain palatable to the broadest possible crowd, **Baltic Honeybadger** remains an outlier. And perhaps that’s the point.

Scheduled for **August 9–10, 2025**, in Riga, Latvia, Baltic Honeybadger continues to offer one of the few remaining spaces where Bitcoin isn’t the warm-up act or the afterthought. It is the main stage.

- No new U.S. federal or state-level BTC reserve developments in this week.

## Key Observations

- **Price Breakout:**  
  BTC surged past $118k on July 11, driven by ETF inflows, short covering, and macro momentum.

- **Institutional Moves:**  
  CleanSpark’s +3,053 BTC boost shows sustained corporate confidence; Metaplanet’s –742 BTC sale is the only drawdown among tracked holders.

- **Emerging CBDC + DeFi Strategy:**  
  Pakistan's advancing CBDC pilot and exploration of Bitcoin yield strategies suggest a novel blend of digital asset policy.

- **Risk Environment:**  
  Rising BTC complements equity and gold markets amid dollar weakness; however, tariff risks (e.g., U.S. levies announced July 11) may introduce fresh volatility.
