Crypto Biz: Onchain lending ramps up, driven by institutional activity

Institutional demand is driving a significant increase in onchain loans across DeFi protocols.

Lending platforms are seeing a significant increase in loans processed this year. According to Ledn, a firm offering decentralized lending and savings, it registered a $1.65 billion increase compared with the same period last year. 

In the third quarter of 2024, the company processed over $437 million in digital asset loans to institutions, an increase of 14% from the previous quarter.
