Since joining NFTfi, I’ve seen punks becoming a pristine DeFi collateral, with default rates under 4%, far below unsecured personal (~10%) or student loans (~12%). 2025 data shows the market maturing: βœ…Loan sizes back above $100k βœ… APRs stabilized around 14–15% βœ… Durations

Among all the loans refinanced on NFTfi this year, this was one of the smoothest. Why? 1- The collateral value was incredibly stable, allowing the lender to use longer duration. Longer duration means less work for them instead of constantly update valuations. 2- Lands are

Following my explanation on underwater loans, we're now seeing expired loans renegotiated using NFTfi's post-maturity renegotiation feature. There's far more flexibility in how the protocol handles volatile markets. It's crucial to build not just for good times, but for all

There are still areas where TradFi actually works better than DeFi. Mortgage refinancing is one of them. When you refinance your mortgage from Bank A to Bank B, they don't make you repay the first loan before switching. That would be absurd. Yeah... but that was exactly how

A borrower just refinanced their 3D CryptoPunk from 15% to 12.5% eAPR on NFTfi using the new cross-protocol ReFi. That's 1 ETH saved annually. The lender saves the 15% fee from other platforms, and the borrower gets a lower rate, all without having to repay the loan first.

A lot of drama on the timeline about underwater punk loans. But not all underwater loans default... Why? It makes no sense.. until you realize the story is more nuanced than the data suggests. 1/ These loans aren't on Blur; they're P2P protocols like NFTfi where APR doesn't

Going from thinking of building a great lending protocol to thinking about how we can provide more value to borrowers and lenders who have been active for years in the NFT credit market is what led to building the aggregator. It is just starting; now that we have unlocked how

We're at a turning point for NFTs, and @Zagabond's latest Discord post is a wake-up call for PFP projects. A few thoughts: - Two distinct NFT categories have emerged. On one side, you have Art projects where artists' and collectors' incentives naturally align around preserving

Reminder that on a permissionless blockchain, there’s no such thing as β€œa preferred protocol.” Too often, people try to re-impose old-world market dynamics on systems built to remove them.
