CRYPTO LENDING ON GATE.IO

26 May 22:12


Crypto Lending allows users to lend cryptocurrencies for profit-making through interests. You can get a loan from your account on gate.io if you don't own any cryptocurrencies, and start investing. When you return the loan plus interest, you will receive your capital and your collateral is unlocked.

Crypto Lending comes with its risks. For example, if the smart contract got hacked there will be losses, but gate.io eradicates this concern; thanks to the security protocols put in place, across the platform.

Also, if you lend a volatile coin as collateral and its value falls, it gets liquidated. It is necessary to research properly and understand the terms before agreeing to lend or borrow because ignorance regarding when you can access your funds and the interest involved can lead to a loss.


Investing in crypto comes with a lot of uncertainty, and concerns especially when taking futures trades or staking a highly volatile coin. Nonetheless, trading is not the only way to make money from the cryptocurrency market. Crypto Lending is a service enabling you to lend your funds and make a profit off it. Crypto Lending is effortless, straightforward, and cheap. It works by renting out a user's coins to another user for a fee. The exact way of lending varies between different platforms. But this article will dwell on crypto lending on the gate.io platform.


CRYPTO LENDING SIMPLIFIED.



For a loan to succeed there must be a lender, a borrower, and a crypto exchange platform. For that loan to be approved collateral must be provided unless through the use of flash loans which don't require collateral. On the other hand, the lender is required to put their coin in a pool that will man the process and take a cut of the interest. Users can request to lend at a specified interest rate and wait for a borrower to match their order.
