Uniswap Is Talking With Lending Protocols About NFT Financialization!

The exchange is allegedly in contact with several NFT lending protocols to build NFT financialization, according to a tweet from the head of NFT product.

According to a post on social media by Uniswap's head of NFT product Scott Lewis, multiple nonfungible token (NFT) lending protocols are in discussions with the cryptocurrency exchange Uniswap.

Lewis emphasizes the company's desire to address both liquidity concerns and the "information asymmetry" surrounding NFTs in the tweet.

Although NFT financialization is Uniswap's goal for these discussions and potential partnerships with lending protocols, the Twitter community responded in two ways.

The decision was seen by some users as a step toward securing the future of decentralized finance, or DeFi.

Other users questioned Uniswap's interest in NFT financialization and suggested that it was motivated by a desire to profit from liquidations.

Uniswap has taken significant steps in the past few months to incorporate NFT activity into its service offerings.

One of the biggest decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in the world, Uniswap is in charge of nearly $6 billion in assets in its liquidity pools.

Users can find and trade digital assets across most platforms thanks to the company's acquisition of Genie, an NFT marketplace aggregation platform, which was announced in June.

Lewis tweeted shortly after that Uniswap intended to launch NFTs with full Sudoswap support.

Sudosawp enables anonymous communication in relation to NFT sales and the establishment of NFT liquidity pools.

The company has previously entered the NFT market, having introduced the first NFT liquidity pool in 2019 with the launch of Unisocks.

But as these digital assets gain more popularity and utility both inside and outside the DeFi space, this most recent push for NFT activity makes sense.

Industries are using these tokenized digital assets for everything from collectibles and music rights monetization to real estate contracts and digital fashion.

OpenSea, MagicEden, and even eBay are foraying headfirst into the uncharted territory of NFTs.

In fact, the Q2 industry report from DappRadar hinted that a platform war for NFTs might be coming soon.
