The post Jack Mallers’ Strike Cuts Bitcoin Loan Terms to 6 Months to Kill Price Liquidations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Key Takeaways Jack Mallers launched Strike’s volatility-proof bitcoin loans on July 7, 2026. Volatility-proof loans cap LTV at 45% and carry a roughly 2.95% rate premium. The product excludes California, New York and Texas under Strike’s current terms. The product, called volatility-proof loans, lets borrowers keep their bitcoin in place no matter how far the price falls, as long as they keep making payments. Mallers posted the announcement on X: “No margin calls. No price liquidations. No matter how far bitcoin falls, your bitcoin doesn’t move.” Strike’s standard bitcoin loans, launched in May 2025, work like most crypto lending products. Borrowers post BTC as collateral and receive USD without selling. But as the loan-to-value ratio climbs during a price drop, warnings hit at 65%, margin calls hit at 70%, and partial liquidations kick in at 85%. Mallers Po

Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson questions Bitcoin’s 21M supply cap, proposing 4% annual growth to offset lost coins. Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson has questioned Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply cap in comments shared on X. His remarks have reopened debate over Bitcoin scarcity and long-term market liquidity. Ben-Sasson said private keys will keep being lost as time passes. As a result, some Bitcoin may remain locked forever and leave usable circulation. He said he still supports a monetary system with an absolute cap. However, he suggested a fixed maximum growth rate as another possible approach. His example was a 4% annual issuance rate to match human growth and support liquidity. The view contrasts with Michael Saylor’s demand-based Bitcoin thesis. Ben-Sasson Raises Concern Over Lost Bitcoin Keys Ben-Sasson said Bitcoin’s fixed cap deserves review because lost keys reduce a

Strike rolled out bitcoin volatility-proof loans on July 7, offering borrowers a product that strips out every price-triggered liquidation mechanism — no margin calls, no automatic sell-offs, no matter how far bitcoin falls. It’s a direct answer to one of the most persistent complaints about crypto lending: the forced liquidation that punishes holders during the exact market crashes when they most need liquidity. Key takeaways Strike launched volatility-proof bitcoin loans on July 7, eliminating all price-triggered liquidations for the loan’s life. Collateral stays untouched as long as payments are made; missed payments trigger a 10-day grace period before partial liquidation can occur. Initial LTV is capped at 45%, term length is six months, and interest rates run roughly 2.95 percentage points higher than Strike’s standard product. The product is not available in California,
