Title: Lending On The Blockchain with ERC20 Tokens - Should Banks Be Scared?
Post by: Magpie on April 12, 2018, 03:00:00 PM

There are a number of reasons why using blockchain for borrowing and lending makes sense, especially when it comes reducing fees, cutting out middlemen, and operating in a trustless and transparent environment.

The article below dives deep into the benefits (and drawbacks) of blockchain lending, and thinks about how banks will respond.

It also lists a few of the best projects focussing on this, including SALT, EthLend and Ripio Cedit Network.

What do you think about it - would you take or provide a loan on the blockchain?

Of course, thanks to blockchain and smart contracts, there is no need for intermediaries in the form of banks, so many people will choose lending without banks.
