The Defiant Youtube Video Turn NFTs into Cash

Let’s say you have a collection of NFTs, you love the art and artist, the NFT community, or the IP or CCO benefits you get for making copies, prints and so on. So are there ways to kind of stake your NFTs from your collection into a portfolio that can be borrowed against, to borrow funds against and attract returns on lending those NFTs to others? It be an interesting perk and something we’re exploring now.

Unique NFTs Unique Value

Questions arise to our mind, like which blockchains, protocols, which swap sites, do I need to bridge NFTs to other layer2 or layer1 protocols, how safe is bridging, what’s the cost of gas, etc. All kinds of questions spring to mind when faced with an open book and no reference. Following the video, you’ll see that the dude puts up a Bored Ape as collateral on nftfi and gets offers. The deal would have loaned him quite a chuck of change, but on the other hand with the extra payback terms plus the transaction fees, it’s going to cost him about $500 to do it.
