Money Markets

Definition

Money markets, in the context of digital assets, are platforms or protocols where participants can lend and borrow digital currencies. These markets facilitate the short-term flow of capital, enabling users to earn yield on their holdings or obtain liquidity by leveraging their digital assets. They operate similarly to traditional money markets but utilize smart contracts and decentralized mechanisms for execution and settlement. The availability of diverse digital assets and flexible lending terms characterizes these markets.
