The loan markets have therefore not yet returned this cycle – and it makes sense.
But Galaxy can have good news for all of us: loans could be ready for some green shoots.
“The convergence of traditional financial expertise with innovation based on blockchain suggests a future where crypto loan services are becoming more and more sophisticated and reliable, while maintaining the unique advantages of blockchain technology,” said Zack Pokorny of Galaxy.
“While the sector continues to mature, it could well serve as a bridge between traditional finance and the ecosystem of emerging digital assets, facilitating the wider adoption of financial services based on cryptocurrency.”
At the end of last year, Tether, Galaxy and LEDN led the CEFI loan pack. Combined, the three had a loan book of $ 9.9 billion.
The loans, at its peak, had a total loan book of $ 34 billion, according to data from Galaxy – and it dropped as low as $ 6.4 billion after the sector collapse. Yikes.
Depending on your atmosphere this morning: the segment is up 73% compared to the stockings, if you want to look at it positively, or down 68% on the ups.
But do not only focus on the ECFI of all this, right?
Defi Lending has really seen more of a return. There was a huge increase of 959% – with $ 19 billion in borrowing open at the end of last year – in “open -footed imps on chains and applications observed during the eight quarters since the decor.”
At the end of last year, the number of loans in progress via ONCHAIN loan applications was around 18% higher than the peak – 16 billion dollars – set up to the last cycle of the Haussier market.
The strength of the recovery “can be attributed to the nature without authorization of applications based on blockchain and to the survival of loan applications through the chaos of the bear market which has shot down the main lenders of the CEFI”.
I know what you think: these data are great, but what is the next step for CEFI and Defi loans?
Well, the answer is quite obvious to Cefi – everything comes down to the adoption of Tradfi. This larger loan sub-sector will rebound because we see more institutional adoption. Easy Peasy – At least it looks.
But quite funny, Defi is in a similar boat. Pokorny noted that the future of Defi Lending is linked to more institutions on board and, of course, to rely on loan applications.
“The cryptocurrency loan market seems ready for a new growth phase, characterized by improved risk management frameworks, greater institutional participation and clearer regulatory directives,” he noted.
I know we talked such On the institutions that arrive, but that’s why.
