In the largest NFT-supported loan, 101 cryptopunks were provided as security
- The loan was completed by the NFT liquidity scaling startup metastreet on the credit platform NFTFI
- "By having an active borrowing and credit market [in NFTS] they create productive assets that are otherwise considered unproductive," conor Moore, co-founder of Metagreet, told Blockworks
In what was invoiced as the largest NFT-supported loan of all time, an anonymous borrower has just taken out a loan of $ 8 million, which is secured by his collection of 101 cryptopunks.
The loan has an effective annual interest rate of 10 % and a term of 30 days. This was made possible by the liquidity scaling solution metastreet on the peer-to-peer credit platform NFTFI.
The financing is regarded by industry participants as pioneers for the future of lending, which is secured by digital collectibles - a market that is expected to grow because the institutional interest in the sector is increasing.
Conor Moore, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer from MetaStreet, told Blockworks that the loan was "order of magnitude larger" than earlier NFT financing (non-funny tokens). Metastreet helped last year to complete the previous record loan-a loan of $ 1.42 million that is secured by an autoglyph.
Moore gave the identity of the borrower, which he described as a "whale" or someone who has large amounts of cryptocurrency, did not prize.
Metastreet with eight full -time employees secured Seed-financing and 11 million US dollars of initial protocol liquidity at the beginning of this year. The company provides NFTs a level of financial infrastructure, especially credit protocols such as NFTFI and Arcade.
"It is similar to Fannie Mae on the US real estate market. You have a large aggregation tool through which original loans can sell, which are then brought together and divided into different tranches," said Moore. "These different tranches enable more optimal capital efficiency."
NFT collectors, co-founder and CEO of MetaStreet David Choi, said that they want to release capital more efficiently and do not want their cryptoasset to accumulate “virtual dust”.
"I think [NFT] The loan markets will simply be bigger, which means that their purchasing power will increase," said Choi. "Instead of putting all your money into buying a house, you take up a mortgage, which means that you only have to pay for 90 % later. [With Metastreet] I think we are expanding the purchasing power of the entire industry."
