Is Debifi the Future of Crypto Loan Systems?

T

he group is working on a new platform, Debifi, which will enable users to borrow long-term loans in Stablecoins and Fiat money using their bitcoin as collateral. Both fiat and Stablecoin lenders have expressed interest in participating in Debifi.

The new platform has gained support from two companies, centralized exchange Bitfinex and crypto financial company XBTO. Both of these companies have agreed to provide liquidity for the new platform.

Debifi, USP is their customer protection, as bitcoin is locked into a multi-signature loan that requires three out of four keys to unlock it. This way, in the event of a dispute between the parties, they can step in and make sure that the bitcoin goes to the prevailing side.

The fourth key is meant to strengthen the new platform’s security: if a scammer or a hacker wanted to abuse the protocol and steal money from escrow, they would have to compromise not just the platform’s key but also the one held by Casa, Blockstream or Jan3.

Will the next big thing be non-custodial lending platforms for banks?
