Can onchain lending scale? that too when it is institution focused?
With $6 Billion in total borrowing and over $700 Million in TVL (Transaction Value Locked), Maple Finance have shown it is possible to scale lending to institutions onchain.
And they have managed to do it with 5% of the workforce that a credit fund of a similar size would typically need.
In this episode of Tokenize, I discuss Maple's journey with Ryan O'Shea, COO at Maple Finance. We discuss everything from how Maple's journey has evolved from even before FTX happend.
Maple offer products with competitive yields, and more interestingly offering fixed yields. Ryan also walks us through the risk machinery at Maple and the efficiencies they have been able to achieve through using Blockchain infrastructure.
Ryan is also bullish about how retail users have embraced Maple and is keen to see how RWAs will help that journey. We would be amiss not to discuss the regulatory environment in the US and how that could potentially help with onchain lending and borrowing.
Listen in for this and more from Ryan.
