Can a Basket of Cryptocurrencies Serve as Effective Collateral?

Yes, using a diversified basket of cryptocurrencies as collateral can be more effective than a single asset. Diversification reduces the risk of a single asset's catastrophic price drop causing a systemic failure.

However, the basket must be carefully managed, and the overall volatility of the basket remains a factor, requiring a sufficiently high overcollateralization ratio.
