One way or another, the borrower has to come up with the principal + interest or they will forfeit their collateral. So they will want to use the loan in some sort of income generating capacity: financing a project, speculative trading, etc. If they are able to use the loan to earn more than the interest rate they've committed to, they'll make money overall. If not, they'll lose money.

Bottom line: we don't think the monetary policy of crypto-assets will have much of an impact on default rates in the short term.
