Lombard’s credit proposal separates transport from borrower exposure

Moving wrapped bitcoin across chains does not determine how a credit loss or withdrawal is handled.

Lombard-related discussion describes depositing two wrapped forms of bitcoin through cross-chain routes into a managed-credit arrangement. It does not provide enough detail to identify the borrowers or the two assets here. The substantive distinction is between transport and credit: a successful bridge transfer does not establish collateral quality, repayment capacity or the order in which losses are borne. Wrapper custody, bridge finality, borrower concentration and withdrawal conditions belong to separate parts of the evaluation. A convenient deposit route cannot make the underlying credit position reversible on demand.
