On July 11, pseudonymous DeFi project advisor CirrusNFT explained how a user was able to borrow $35,000 from another user by using an NFT that represented a physical item as collateral for the loan.


According to the exec, a user sent a Patek Phillipe luxury watch to 4K Protocol, an escrow firm that deals with NFTs backed by physical items. The company then sent back an NFT that represents ownership of the watch.Patek Phillipe watch used as collateral for DeFi loan. Source: Arcade.xyz


The NFT was then listed on the DeFi lending protocol Arcade. After listing the item, lenders pitched their offers to the borrower. The user then accepted the best loan offer they could find. Following this, the NFT was sent to an escrow wallet, where it would stay until the loan is paid in full or if the borrower defaulted. If the borrower fails to pay the loan, the NFT will be awarded to the lender. It can then be burned to claim the watch. 


CirrusNFT explained that through this process, users can lend and borrow with complete anonymity. Lenders and borrowers do not need to submit their names to each other to go through the process. In addition, the executive believes that this allows people to have access to more global liquidity, which may offer more competitive rates.

While some welcomed the new way of lending and borrowing, others believe that it’s very centralized and is adding NFTs where it’s not necessary.
