What’s new? Decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap has announced loans secured by non-fungible tokens (NFTs). According to a Twitter post by Uniswap's head of NFT products Scott Lewis, the company is now in talks with several lending protocols. He emphasized the exchange's interest in addressing liquidity issues and the lack of an aggregator of data on the price changes of non-fungible tokens.
uniswap is the interface for all nft liquidity. we are now in talks with 7 nft lending protocols. we will be working with each one to solve for liquidity fragmentation and information asymmetry. this is the first step to building nft financialization.— Scott 🦄 (@Scott_eth) August 23, 2022
How did the community react? Twitter users have had mixed reactions to the news. Some saw the decision as a step to strengthen the field of decentralized finance (DeFi). And some questioned Uniswap's motives for integrating NFTs into the DeFi sector, pointing to the possibility of profits if positions were liquidated.
Lewis also noted that Uniswap plans to introduce NFTs with full support for Sudoswap, a decentralized NFT marketplace that allows for anonymous token interactions and the creation of NFT liquidity pools.
What is known about Uniswap? It is a decentralized smart contract-based financial protocol for cryptocurrency trading developed in 2018.
