On-Chain Data Highlights Leading Contributors
On-chain data reveals that loans against Runes made up 57% of Liquidium’s daily volume, contributing 12 BTC. Meanwhile, Ordinals accounted for 43%, adding 9 BTC to the total lending activity.
Year-Long Upward Trend
Liquidium has shown consistent growth, facilitating over 63,000 loans worth more than 3,378 BTC throughout the year. Runes dominate the platform, representing over half of all collateral used for borrowing.
Secure Lending Model
Liquidium enables users to borrow Bitcoin against assets like Runes, Ordinals, Inscriptions, and BRC-20 tokens. Its non-custodial model employs Discreet Log Contracts (DLC) to provide secure escrow. This mechanism ensures lender returns are safeguarded, even in cases of borrower default.
Driving Forces Behind Liquidium’s Growth
The platform’s increased activity aligns with Bitcoin’s growing mainstream adoption. Analysts attribute this to Bitcoin’s price rally above $100,000 and the introduction of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These developments have fueled institutional interest in the ecosystem.
Furthermore, the market sentiment has improved significantly due to expectations of favorable crypto regulations under a Donald Trump-led administration, boosting optimism for broader industry expansion.
LIQUIDIUM Token Gains Momentum
Liquidium’s native token, LIQUIDIUM, has also experienced a notable uptrend. CoinMarketCap data shows the token’s value surged over 25% in the past week.
New Features to Enhance User Experience
Instant Loans for Simplified Borrowing
Liquidium plans to roll out an instant loans feature, allowing borrowers to access funds without needing lender countersignatures. This enhancement aims to simplify the borrowing process, regardless of loan size.
Custom Loan V2 Upgrade
The upcoming Custom Loan V2 upgrade will introduce a gallery-like interface. This new feature enables borrowers and lenders to create and customize loan offers directly. Transitioning from the traditional lender-initiated model, this upgrade will make the platform more dynamic and user-friendly.
Paving the Way for the Future
Liquidium’s steady growth and upcoming advancements position it as a significant player in the expanding Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. With its innovative features and secure lending model, Liquidium is set to capitalize on Bitcoin’s rising popularity and the growing demand for decentralized financial solutions
