With the launch of Paraspace V2, the platform aims to expand support for more NFT collections and additional blockchain networks beyond Ethereum.
X2Y2 added CyberKong as collateral
Since launching its lending feature, X2Y2 has achieved a total borrowing volume of 100M.
Presently, CyberKongz token holders have the added advantage of using their holdings as collateral against borrowing in Ethereum (ETH). The imminent launch of Genkai, a fresh addition to the CyberKongz collection, introduces an array of new trading opportunities for enthusiasts and investors alike.
BENDAO made its first buyback and burn.
In accordance with their BIP #34, BendDAO will allocate 20% of pairing fee revenues derived from $APE staking to purchase and incinerate $BEND tokens. The intensity of this buy pressure is contingent upon both the volume of BAYC and MAYC staked and the prevailing price of $APE. Notably, the inaugural burn successfully eliminated 1.7 million $BEND tokens from the circulating supply.
Here is the transaction ID for the $BEND burn:

Holder of luxury watches took out a loan on Arcade.
A lender gave a $35,000 loan at 12% APR to a stranger who used a Patek Phillipe watch as collateral.
The borrower sent the watch to 4K Protocol - an escrow company, which then provided an NFT representing ownership of the watch. The borrower listed the NFT on Arcade and accepted loan offer. The NFT was transferred to an escrow wallet until the term was up or the borrower repaid the loan. If the borrower defaulted, the lender could claim the watch.
