The NFT lending market has seen a significant decline, with loan volumes dropping by 97% from the January 2024 high.
The downturn is attributed to the broader slump in the NFT market, with top-tier collections experiencing significant price drops, impacting lending activity.
Average NFT loan amounts have decreased by 71% yearly, signaling a shift in borrower behavior towards using less valuable NFTs or avoiding heavy leverage.
To reignite the sector, experts suggest integrating real-world asset NFTs, simplifying interfaces, and evolving towards smarter infrastructure for NFT lending services.
