The growing adoption of cryptocurrencies is expected to drive the expansion of the crypto lending platform market. Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies that use cryptographic techniques for secure transactions and operate on decentralized networks, often based on blockchain technology. Their adoption is rising as they offer financial freedom, enabling users to make transactions without relying on traditional banks or government oversight. Crypto lending platforms enhance the utility of cryptocurrencies by allowing users to earn interest on their digital assets through lending, while providing borrowers with liquidity without the need to sell their holdings. This contributes to a more dynamic and liquid cryptocurrency market. For example, in November 2024, the Financial Conduct Authority, a UK-based financial regulator, reported that 12% of UK adults now own cryptocurrency, up from 10% previously. Awareness of cryptocurrencies has increased from 91% to 93%, and the average value of crypto holdings has risen from $2,000 (£1,595) to $2,300 (£1,842). Thus, the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies is driving the growth of the crypto lending platform market.
