Crypto-lending is on the rise with Celsius Network surpassing $1 billion

Quote

One of the fastest growing sectors within the cryptocurrency space is cryptocurrency lending.

Here platforms offer a range of services, both for borrowers looking to get some extra funds but also for cryptocurrency holders that want to take advantage of the interest-earning part and lend out their cryptocurrencies.

And one of these crypto lending platforms that are making headway, and showing some big volumes is Celsius Network.

Celsius Network lets crypto-holders earn interest rates up to 11.90% annually which is starting to compete with fiat money savings accounts and other types of investments.

They also provide borrowers with a direct way to get alternative fundings via crypto-backed loans. Here a borrower puts down Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin or another cryptocurrency as collateral and then they can take out cash or stablecoin loans.

Does anyone here take advantage of this so called crypto-lending. Base on the reports, I was astonished to see that $1 billion has been surpassed already. Are crypto and non-crypto users are taking advantage of this platform? Or does it makes sense to use this platform to loan instead of the banks? Please enlighten me for sake of discussions.

I decided to give it a try. Why not?

Celsius is centralized and I think it is more reliable platform than others.
