  As a third-party observer, BYDFi acknowledges that using SOFR loan rates in the cryptocurrency sector can have both advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that it provides a standardized benchmark that can enhance transparency and trust in the industry. This can attract more traditional financial institutions and investors to participate in the cryptocurrency market. However, a potential disadvantage is that SOFR rates may not fully capture the unique risks and characteristics of cryptocurrencies. The cryptocurrency sector operates differently from traditional financial markets, with higher volatility and rapid price movements. This could result in a mismatch between the actual risk profile of cryptocurrencies and the risk assessment based on SOFR rates. Market participants should carefully evaluate the suitability of SOFR loan rates in the cryptocurrency industry to ensure accurate pricing and risk management.
