Collateral Value
Collateral value is the actual amount of credit an asset can provide when pledged for a loan. It is often less than the market value due to haircuts.
A stable asset with a low haircut has a higher collateral value. Understanding this is crucial for determining how much leverage can be safely used in a margin account.
