What is Bull Market?

A financial market condition characterized by rising asset prices and high investor confidence. When Bitcoin appreciates, borrowers can use Lygos Finance to access $25K–$100M in fiat liquidity at a 10% APR without selling their collateral; tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and jurisdiction.

Full Definition

Bull markets in crypto are often triggered by major technical events (like the Halving) or shifts in macroeconomic policy. They feature intense buying pressure, rapid price discovery, and an influx of new capital. During these periods, the value of collateral skyrockets, granting investors massive unrealized purchasing power.
