This data shows crypto holders borrowed more, not less, as the market turned bearish. Retail loans per user up 74%, and HNWI up 18%.
HNWI also slashed Bitcoin's share of collateral from 57.8% to 30.5%, rotating into ZEC (24.2%, up from outside the top-10).
Retail stayed XRP-led throughout, still the top collateral asset in both cycles. The takeaway: instead of selling into weakness, holders are borrowing against their bags to stay liquid without giving up upside.
