Assets can be tokenized on a blockchain, allowing fractional ownership and broader distribution of investment opportunities. Platforms like Aave and Compound enable users to lend and borrow assets directly from each other, bypassing traditional banks.
Lenders and borrowers can interact directly, facilitated by smart contracts, without the need for a banking intermediary. Interest rates are determined by supply and demand, often resulting in more competitive rates compared to traditional banks.
DeFi platforms lower barriers to entry by minimizing the initial investment requirements and reducing fees. Tokenization allows investors to purchase fractions of an asset, making high-value investments accessible to smaller investors.
