3/ The NFT market has officially surpassed $15B in secondary sales combined across a variety of categories including gaming, PFPs (profile pics), virtual worlds, sports, and collectibles.

1/ @NotionalFinance is an @ethereum-based protocol which enables users to lend and borrow cryptoassets at a fixed rate via on-chain liquidity pools.

Notional recently launched its V2, and as a result protocol activity has exploded over the past week as it nears $1B in total TVL. Notional Finance Historic TVL
2/ Users can interact with the protocol as a borrower, lender, or liquidity provider (LP).

LPs are the most important as they capitalize liquidity pools with cTokens to act as the counterparty to all other lenders and borrowers.

In turn, they are rewarded with liquidity fees. Diagram for interactions through Notional Finance
