XPlace CEO Artem Ponomarev said digital assets need safer ways to access liquidity without forcing investors to sell.
DeFi lending protocols held about $42.06 billion in total value locked across 571 tracked protocols.
Ponomarev said investors could pledge Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) or tokenised securities as collateral for loans.
He said lending systems should use conservative loan-to-value limits and clearly explain interest and liquidation terms.
Tokenised stocks reached $2.34 billion in distributed value on 18 August, according to RWA.xyz data cited by crypto.news.
Ponomarev said digital-asset lending should provide controlled access to existing wealth rather than encourage high leverage.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $64,425.24.
