Rootstock Report Points to Bitcoin Lending as Institutional Growth Driver

Lending and other financial uses could support a new phase of institutional interest in Bitcoin, according to a Rootstock report covered by Cointelegraph.

The report argues that institutions could put their Bitcoin holdings to use through lending arrangements, collateral pledges and financing activities, rather than holding the asset solely as a store of value.

Those applications could create additional demand for Bitcoin, the report suggests. Its outlook centers on expanding the utility of institutional holdings beyond passive ownership.
