Uniswap Is Considering NFT Financing and Is Talking With Lending Protocols!

According to a tweet from the exchange's head of NFT product, the exchange is in contact with several NFT lending protocols in order to build NFT financialization.

According to a social media post by Uniswap's head of NFT product Scott Lewis, the crypto exchange is in talks with multiple nonfungible token (NFT) lending protocols.

Lewis emphasizes the company's interest in addressing both liquidity issues and the "information asymmetry" surrounding NFTs in the tweet.

While Uniswap's goal for these discussions and potential collaborations with lending protocols is NFT financialization, the crowd on Twitter had a mixed reaction.

Some users saw the decision as a step toward securing the future of decentralized finance, abbreviated as DeFi.

Other users questioned Uniswap's interest in NFT financialization, pointing to the possibility of profiting from liquidation.

Uniswap has taken significant steps in recent months to incorporate NFT activity into its service offerings.

Uniswap is one of the world's largest decentralized exchanges (DEXs), with nearly $6 billion in liquidity pools.

Genie, an NFT marketplace aggregation platform that allows users to find and trade digital assets across most platforms, was acquired by the company in June.

Lewis then tweeted that Uniswap intends to launch NFTs with full Sudoswap support.

Sudosawp enables anonymous interactions with regard to NFT sales and the establishment of NFT liquidity pools.

This is not the company's first foray into the NFT space, as they launched Unisocks, the first rendition of NFT liquidity pools, in 2019.

This latest push for NFT activity, however, comes as these digital assets gain traction and utility both inside and outside of the DeFi space.

These tokenized digital assets are being used by industries ranging from real estate contracts and digital fashion to collectibles and music rights monetization.

Similar platforms, such as OpenSea, MagicEden, and even eBay, are charging headlong into the Wild West of NFTs.

According to DappRadar's Q2 industry report, an NFT platform battle could be on the horizon.

The Dollar Rises to a New 5-Week High Ahead of Jackson Hole on the Fed's Hawkish Tack

After another Federal Reserve member signaled the probability of sustained aggressive monetary tightening on Monday, the U.S. dollar index jumped to a new five-week high before the Fed's critical Jackson Hole symposium this week. After Russia said that it might cut off European gas supplies through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline for three days at the end of this month, worsening the region's energy crisis, the euro dropped to its lowest level in five weeks. The Chinese central bank slashed key lending rates, the latest in a series of monetary easing measures meant to shore up an economy suffering from COVID-19 crackdowns and a property crisis, which caused the yuan to fall to its lowest level in over two years. Last up 0.074% at 108.23, the U.S. dollar index rose to 108.26 for the first time since July 15 versus a basket of six rival currencies that includes the euro. This comes after a week in which the market rose 2.33 percent, its largest weekly rise since April 2020 and against...
