NFT lending volume collapses 97% from peak as market activity collapses

The NFT lending frenzy has cooled dramatically, with active borrowers dropping 90% and lenders 78% over the past year. The non-fungible token lending market has collapsed, with monthly volume plunging to just $50 million in May, a staggering 97% drop from its $1 billion peak in January 2024, DappRadar data shows.

In 2024, trading volume dropped nearly 20% from the year prior, while total sales declined 18%, crypto.news reported earlier.
