Uniswap eyes NFT financing, beginning talks with lending protocols for potential collaborations.


Brief introduction: Uniswap is a decentralised exchange protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain. More specifically, Uniswap is an automated liquidity protocol. Traders can exchange Ethereum tokens on Uniswap without trusting a single actor with their funds and can lend their crypto through liquidity pools. By lending their crypto to liquidity pools, token-holders can earn fees. Uniswap’s native token, UNI, provides governance rights to owners that can vote on changes to the protocol.

  • Uniswap’s Head of NFT Product, Scott Lewis, tweeted on Wednesday saying they are in talks with multiple non-fungible token (NFT) lending protocols

  • In 2019, Uniswap launched Unisocks, which was the first rendition of NFT liquidity pools

  • In June, the company introduced its acquisition of Genie, the first NFT marketplace aggregator, which lets anyone discover and trade NFTs across a large number of platforms
