Gherghelas stated that NFT lending needs to "break free from survival mode" and requires "new catalysts" to revitalize the industry, such as real-world asset NFTs and tokenized real estate or income-generating assets, which can unlock more stable and reliable sources of collateral.
She said, "So far, there has been no compelling reason for an NFT lending rebound in 2025. Although the infrastructure still exists and the platform remains active, activity has slowed down significantly."
