In spite of the continuing volatility surrounding the crypto market, blockchain-based private loans have seen an unexpected upturn.
There has been a 55% increase in active private loans since the beginning of the year, reaching around $408 million by November 28, according to RWA.xyz, as enterprises seek protection from the growing interest rates by focusing on blockchains.
More Transparent Loan Management
Against the backdrop of a conventional private credit market of $1.6 trillion, this recovery is taking place, although at a slower rate than last year’s high. In spite of digital assets’ rough year, private credit based on the blockchain by several platforms is seeing a renaissance, with active loans exceeding $408 million in 2023.
Additionally, these platforms provide borrowers access to funds using smart contracts, utilizing Ethereum and stablecoins. Agost Makszin of Lendary (Asia) Capital is quoted as saying in a Bloomberg article that the increased transparency and liquidation processes on the blockchain have successfully reduced lending risks.
Proponents of blockchain also highlight the benefits; for example, Sidney Powell, co-founder of Maple Finance, has proposed using blockchain and smart contracts to handle loans, save costs, and expedite financing in an effort to get an edge over the competition.
This occurs at a time when the opaqueness of conventional private lending is coming under fire, and the blockchain-based alternative is proving to be both faster and more transparent in its loan management. After a remarkable eight-week boom, which propelled Bitcoin from $26,866 to an astounding $44,543, the cryptocurrency is now facing what might be a correction and is trading at around $41,012.
