Digital asset lending involves loaning cryptocurrencies or other tokenized assets to borrowers, typically for a return. This financial activity occurs on centralized platforms or through decentralized protocols, where assets are supplied to a liquidity pool or directly to a borrower. Lenders receive interest payments, while borrowers often provide collateral to secure the loan. This mechanism allows asset holders to generate passive income from their holdings.
