From LendingBlock WP: Securities lending in the conventional financial market has maintained consistently high levels of activity over many years, with 2017 being no exception.
Global Securities Lending Market key statistics (as of March 9, 2017):
On-loan value: $2.00trn, +$180bn year-on-year (YOY)
Lendable value: $16.04trn (+$2.75trn YOY)
Unique securities on loan: 45,200
Non-cash collateral as a percentage of on-loan balance: 60.52% (+6.39% YOY)
Lenders globally earned $9.16bn in securities lending revenues in 2016.
We believe that the market for securities lending will be replicated in the blockchain asset economy, particularly in light of the continued growth in value of the cryptoasset market and the entry at scale of institutional participants and funds. Lendingblock is designed to facilitate the growth of securities lending in the crypto economy.

Never realized the lending market was so huge

Yes it is. And LendingBlock has two very great partnerships with Liquid Exchange and Genesis Capital which will help the team make inroads in the sector. Genesis has already announced over $500 mil in loans for the first part of the year.
