This week we’re highlighting @maplefinance
Maple is bringing institutional lending onchain and seeing explosive growth: AUM grew by 10x this year, reaching $4b
More below!
Today, typical DeFi lending protocols often don’t meet the needs of large institutions
Institutions want yield and borrowing opportunities that fit with their operations and compliance requirements
Maple is bridging this gap
In practice, this means:
- Permissioned lending pools to ensure counterparties meet institutional requirements
- Collateral is held by regulated custodians in its unwrapped form (for instance BTC instead of wBTC)
- Offchain legal agreements protecting lenders
So how is Maple still tapping into the power of DeFi?
Its syrupUSDC yield bearing stable is the key: it lets onchain users earn yield from borrowing institutions
By doing so, Maple unlocks:
- Yield from institutions accessible through DeFi protocols like @MorphoLabs and @pendle_fi
- Scalable, compliant capital for institutions
