We Spoke with Ethan Lippman from Ebisu Finance at Token 2049 Singapore! Here's What We Discussed: What is @ebisu_finance? • Ebisu Finance is a DeFi protocol focused on unlocking the value of restaked collateral. • It allows users to engage in liquid restaking, enabling them to access loans or participate in yield farming using their restaked assets. • This reduces the opportunity cost between providing security and earning DeFi yields. Managing Risk: • Over-Collateralization: Loans are over-collateralized to ensure safety, minimizing the risk for borrowers in case of slashing events within the restaking network. • Ebisu Finance manages risk by underwriting Actively Validated Services (AVS) risk through the evaluation of slashing conditions. • Safer LRTs (backed by more secure AVS) can access higher loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, while riskier ones get lower LTV to protect against liquidation. What’s Next? Ebisu Finance's Ebisu Money, a protocol that allows users to borrow stablecoins in USD or ETH against their LRTs, is live on testnet. The mainnet launch is planned for later this year. Watch the Video to learn more about how Ebisu works and the yield opportunities available with their platform! https://lnkd.in/gCS8gHdq

Lots of learnings from the webinar organized by CloudBankin on the Role of OCEN in Digital Lending: Simplifying MSME Financing Key Insights from the discussions between panelists Deepak Sharma and Mani Parthasarathy 1. India is advancing significantly in building digital public infrastructure backed by a strong multiple loan network. 2. The OCEN framework born out of the GeM Sahay pilot project is orchestrating a demand-led access to credit and will be a big boon for MSMEs in the country. 3. Regulators want lenders to focus more on credit to MSMEs than disbursing loans to retail customers. 4. OCEN will change the way credit is offered. It is just a framework or a protocol and people need to build their products on top of it. 5. Cost of onboarding and customer acquisition will come down as more lenders use OCEN. 6. Digital Collections and Escrow Mechanisms will be the popular solutions used by Lenders for Collection Management. 7. Transparently monitoring end-use of credit will be crucial for the success of OCEN. #Webinar #OCEN #DigitalLending #India #Credit #CreditAccess #MSMEs #Lending #Fintech

The recent editorial from The Manila Times sheds light on the ongoing MSME lending crisis, emphasizing the struggles faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in accessing vital financial resources. Despite the efforts of banks and fintechs to cater to this market, many MSMEs still find themselves underserved, limiting their growth potential and contributions to the economy. Key points from the article include: - The critical importance of MSMEs as the backbone of the Philippine economy. - The challenges they encounter in securing loans, often due to stringent requirements and lengthy processes. - The need for financial institutions to innovate and streamline their lending practices to better support this sector. As we reflect on these insights, it is clear that addressing the MSME lending crisis is essential for fostering economic development and financial inclusion. We must advocate for solutions that empower these businesses and help unlock their full potential. At Lentra, we recognize the critical role that MSMEs play in driving economic growth. That's why we are committed to supporting banks and fintechs by transforming their lending processes. By streamlining operations and reducing turnaround times, we enable faster credit extension to the SME industry, helping ensure that these businesses get the support they need to thrive. Let’s work together to bridge this lending gap and empower the backbone of our economy! 💼💡 #MSME #Fintech #Lending #FinancialInclusion #Lentra https://lnkd.in/gnuvztw9
