I'm not familiar with this product. How do you "close out" one of these loans? If you mean pay it off, nobody would take a loan they can just pay off at anytime, or where the interest rate can be just arbitrarily voted up.

It's true that the interest rate can be arbitrarily voted up. Despite this, 1.46% of all existing Ether (currently valued at $210,036,816) is staked as collateral in the system, so it's not accurate to say nobody would do this.

The loans are mostly used for leveraged trading or liquidity while maintaining a long position. Each loan is fully collateralized with the Ethereum token by the borrower

Isn't this just a revolving credit line?
