According to AICryptoCore, crypto asset-backed lending reached $73.59 billion in Q3 2025, a 38.5% year-on-year increase, driven by DeFi expansion and institutional participation. Platforms like Aave, Nexo, and MakerDAO are leveraging ETH, BTC, and stablecoins to offer liquidity without forced sales, with DeFi lending alone growing by 54.84%. Regulatory clarity in the UK and US is further boosting adoption, signaling a shift toward decentralized finance models post-2022 CeFi challenges.
