Loans against Physical Bitcoins

[mindragon]

Does anyone know of people wanting to have their Physical Bitcoins as collaterals against a loan?

Likewise, I have heard of collateral lenders doing some loans against Ballet cards but those are usually like 0.001 BTC. There are others like Casascius coins that have been sold by auction houses. Those auction houses consider the physical bitcoins as a collectible class of item for the purposes of an auction. This means physical bitcoins are treated as a collectible. Which means, it can have loans against it like fine art has loans.

Are there other lenders / investors out there lending right now against physical bitcoins as a collectible?

I was wondering if anyone has come across anything about either one of these two approaches towards physical bitcoin custody as a collectible. It would be helpful for a research report that I am doing right now for a class.

Thanks.
