Renewed Focus, New Frontier: My Borrow-Lend Strategy for Q1 2025
I'm adopting a borrow-lend strategy for Q1 2025: Instead of selling my HODL bags, I’ll be collateralizing them on DeFi platforms. By borrowing stablecoins at competitive rates, I can generate income while still preserving the long-term upside of my crypto assets.
I just returned from a much-needed holiday break, feeling both refreshed and deeply reflective about what truly matters, my family, our future, and the legacy I want to build. The time away clarified not only my personal priorities but also my strategic approach for the year ahead.
Over countless cups of hot cocoa and conversations with loved ones, I realized that 2025 feels like a pivotal year. Market cycles don’t stop for vacations, and my crypto holdings still represent a significant opportunity for growth. Yet, I’m wary of selling prematurely, especially assets I believe in long term.
That’s why I’m adopting a borrow-lend strategy this quarter. Instead of selling my HODL bags, I’ll be collateralizing certain assets on trusted DeFi platforms. By doing this, I can borrow stablecoins at competitive rates and then lend or reinvest in income-generating opportunities. This approach aligns perfectly with my current objective: generate a steady return while preserving the long-term upside of my crypto positions.
Of course, any leverage strategy comes with risks-market volatility can turn against you quickly, and interest rates can fluctuate. But by mindfully selecting assets to collateralize and monitoring my loan-to-value ratios, I can mitigate these risks.
Ultimately, I’m energized to head into Q1 2025 with a plan that protects my financial future and leverages the potential of DeFi. The holiday break offered a moment of clarity, and now I’m ready to build on it. One thoughtful move at a time.
