Just like in the traditional market where you use your assets (stocks, property, gold, etc.) as a collateral for your loan, you can use your crypto as collateral to get crypto loan. This can be a good option if you have crypto assets and need money on a short-term basis but do not want to sell your crypto assets as the market is sluggish. Just like with other type of loan, you also need to be careful on repaying it. If you might not be able to pay back for a long time and if the market is still bearish, selling your assets for money instead of using your assets to get a loan can be a good idea.
