The total market-cap of NFT has hit $18 billion in 2022 - but most of these value are illiquid and NFTs sit idly in wallets.
NFTFi (@NFTfi) unlocks the liquidity of these NFTs by allowing owners to take NFT-collateralized loans. Till date, they have facilitated $128 million over 7000 loans.
In this episode, NFTFi co-founder, Steven Young shares with us:
Why is unlocking NFT liquidity necessary and how can it help floor prices?
What are the risks involved for lenders and borrowers?
Why is NFTFi’s peer-to-peer model the most optimal for NFT-backed loans?
