Borrowing costs represent the expenses incurred when obtaining funds or assets, typically involving interest payments or fees. In decentralized finance, these costs manifest as variable interest rates on borrowed digital assets, determined by market dynamics within lending protocols. These rates compensate liquidity providers for supplying assets and cover platform operational expenses. Understanding these costs is essential for evaluating the financial viability of leverage or yield strategies in digital asset markets.
Context
Borrowing costs in DeFi currently exhibit significant fluctuations influenced by market volatility, protocol liquidity, and demand for specific tokens. News frequently reports on changes in these rates, which can signal shifts in market sentiment or adjustments to protocol parameters. Elevated borrowing costs may indicate increased speculative activity or a scarcity of available assets for lending.
