Are you still alive?
Of course, yes 😀
DM please!
Unfortunately, the collateral you offer is unacceptable to me.
Is that so? This is the first time I'm hearing about it.
Bored ape NFTs (as are most NFTs even high grade collectibles) have very low liquidity. It's not suitable for a lender here, who usually look for instant and fully liquid collateral.
Have you tried this? Not sure if it's still available however this article was posted around a year ago:
Binance NFT enables Staked Ape NFTS as loan collateral.
Not sure if you can withdraw the collateral or not (if you need it outside of an exchange), though I am sure there'd also be DeFi protocols who might let you borrow 30 - 80% of the value of your NFT, especially since it's a bored ape.
