Lending and Borrowing Platforms

Lending platforms allow you to use your digital assets as collateral to barrow cash or stablecoins, giving you access to liquidity without needing to sell your holdings. While these services may resemble traditional bank lending, most platforms operate outside the banking system and are subject to less regulatory oversight, making them inherently riskier than regulated financial institutions.
