NFT Collateralized Lending

Definition

NFT collateralized lending involves using non-fungible tokens as security to obtain a loan in cryptocurrencies or stablecoins. In this financial arrangement, the borrower pledges their NFT to a lending protocol, receiving liquid assets in return. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the NFT collateral can be liquidated to repay the lender. This mechanism unlocks liquidity for otherwise illiquid digital assets, providing a new utility for non-fungible tokens. It expands the financial applications within the decentralized ecosystem.
