Wait, are you comparing a personal loan backed by an asset versus an unsecured personal loan from a bank? That seems pretty apples and oranges to me. I think the right comparison would be a broker letting you borrow money against stock, something they do all the time.

Cheaply, too - some brokers are offering in the mid 1% for USD. I don’t know what defi collateral requirements and rates are like at the moment, but I suspect much more onerous and higher.
