Uniswap Is Interested In The Financialization Of NFT And Is Currently Having Discussions With Various Lending Protocols
According to a social media post by Uniswap's head of NFT product Scott Lewis, the crypto exchange has been in discussions with multiple NFT lending protocols.
Specifically, Lewis tweets about the company's desire to address liquidity concerns and the "information asymmetry" related to NFTs.
The crowd on Twitter gave a mixed response to Uniswap's stated goal of NFT financialization through these discussions and potential collaborations with lending protocols.
Users' perspectives on the decision varied, but many saw it as a positive development for the future of decentralized finance, or DeFi for short.
Others have speculated that Uniswap is only interested in NFT financialization to reap the benefits of a liquidation sale.
Uniswap has made significant progress over the past few months toward integrating NFT activity into its service offerings.
As one of the largest DEXs in the world, Uniswap manages nearly $6 billion in assets across its various liquidity pools.
After that, Lewis tweeted that Uniswap would be implementing NFTs with full support for Sudoswap.
Through Sudosawp, buyers and sellers of NFTs can communicate anonymously and NFT liquidity pools can be established.
The company has already made a foray into the NFT sector with the release of Unisocks in 2019; this product was the first implementation of NFT liquidity pools.
As these digital assets gain popularity and practicality in the DeFi sphere and beyond, however, there has been a recent uptick in NFT activity.
These tokenized digital assets are being used in a wide variety of industries, from real estate contracts and digital fashion to the monetization of collectibles and music rights.
OpenSea, MagicEden, and even eBay, all of which are similar platforms, are charging headfirst into the NFT frontier.
According to DappRadar's Q2 industry report, a future NFT platform battle is even a possibility.
