Have you considered if much of this is due to debt-based currency? If people hold valuable fungible tokens, it becomes possible to make collateralized loan products and even synthetic stable tokens such as DAI.

I don't know what you mean by debt-based currency, but no I don't think that using tokens instead of currency changes anything. The process of granting and managing a loan is exactly the same regardless of whether the loan is denominated in currency or in some token.
