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.

The bullish jobs report adds fuel to hopes for an “Uptober” and fourth-quarter rally in Bitcoin’s price.
The strong United States September jobs report signals a possible slowdown in interest rate cuts but is still bullish for Bitcoin (BTC) as investors warm to riskier assets, Zach Pandl, Grayscale’s head of research, told Cointelegraph.
