The recent launch of Blend, a P2P perpetual lending platform by @blur_io may lead to innovation in the market: 🧵 (thread)
❇️ On May 1st, Blur partnered with @paradigm to launch Blend, a P2P perpetual lending protocol that supports NFT collateral lending.
Blend offers two products: NFT "collateralized lending" and "buy now, pay later."
The platform doesn't require an oracle, has no expiration date, is liquidatable, and its interest rate is market-driven.
Borrowers and lenders don't have to pay any fees to Blur, and Blend's fees are controlled by BLUR holders which can be activated after 180 days.
Blend has some advantages over traditional P2P NFT lending platforms.
The platform allows lending relationships to migrate internally, which enhances efficiency and satisfies user demands through market competition.
Additionally, Blend uses a perpetual flexible model, which improves the liquidity problem for borrowers.
As for user base requirements, P2P lending has a high threshold, but for a major project like Blur, with 2k-20k Blur Daily Traders, it's a perfect match.
Data from the platform since launch is impressive, with Blend snatching up over 80% of the market share on its first day, surpassing BendDAO, NFTFi, X2Y2, and other well-established NFT lending platforms.
This bodes well for Blend, as it has the potential to bring lasting attention to the market.
As of May 4th, Blend has already loaned out a total of 15,611 ETH, with 1,233 loan deals in total.
The potential for Blend to boost the BLUR token's value and empower it is great.
While the platform has yet to implement much for BLUR holders, Blend's continued growth could potentially lead to great innovation in the NFT lending market.
Currently, the primary projects in this area are BLUR, LOOKS, X2Y2, and BEND, all of which are already listed on #Bitget@bitgetglobal
Traderse can keep an eye on Blend's progress and have a first-mover advantage on Bitget should the NFT lending market perform well.
❇️ With the launch of Blend, NFT lending may be headed for great innovation.
Bitget already offers trading in the latest NFT lending projects.
It's worth keeping an eye on Blend's progress to take advantage of an NFT lending boom if it occurs.
Bitget offers BLUR trading and other NFT Lending projects.
My analysis on U.S. CPI release and the outlook for Fed's monetary policy:
1 The U.S. inflation (thru CPI) eases to 4.9% in April, marking the tenth straight decline and was lower than expected. This data is a positive reference for the decision to stop🚫raising interest rates.
2/ Specifically, airfare✈️, hotel accommodation🏨, and new car🚕 prices fell. While the cost of housing, the largest component (1/3) of the U.S. service sector, rose 0.4% last month, the lowest increase in more than a year.
3/ However, while consumer demand has moderated, wage growth is still very strong. The labor market is still overheated, and the Fed needs to see multiple months of declines to be convinced that price pressures are on a sustained downward trajectory.
Feel sorry to hear a series of bad news about FTX. Its decline inevitably has caused a huge impact on the whole industry, and I believe that users of FTX are most hurt by this crisis.
FTX’s glory in the past is also attributed to the excellent talents and contributors on the platform, incld. KOLs, KOCs and traders, who have suffered a lot in this chaos with huge loss of assets. We have prepared a 5 million USD “Builders' Fund” to help them with assistance.
We also want to deliver a message to the fearful market: Bitget and many other active builders are still working hard to cultivate the crypto world.
