How the product is defined

Secured loans: Borrowing against an asset, which lowers the price but puts the asset at risk if you default.

A secured loan gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which can lower the price and puts that asset at risk if payments stop.

Default puts the asset at risk, which is the trade a borrower makes for the lower price.

A secured product names an asset, and the lender registers or holds a claim against it.
