1. What Is NFT Collateral
NFT collateral is the use of a non-fungible token as security for a loan — borrowing against an NFT's value instead of selling it. It unlocks liquidity from illiquid assets.
2. How It Works
A borrower deposits an NFT into a lending protocol, which values it (via floor price, appraisals, or oracle) and issues a loan at a loan-to-value ratio. If the loan isn't repaid or the NFT's value drops, the position can be liquidated and the NFT sold. Peer-to-pool (NFTfi) and peer-to-peer (Arcade) models differ in how terms are set.
3. Why It Matters
NFT collateral turns illiquid collectibles into working capital — for artists, games, and collectors who don't want to sell at cycle lows. It introduces NFT-specific risk: valuation is hard (uniqueness), liquidity is thin, and liquidation is difficult, which is why adoption has been cautious.
4. Key Facts
- Floor price is the most common valuation basis
- LTV ratios for NFTs are typically low (30-50%)
- NFTfi, BendDAO, and Arcade are leading platforms
- Depeg/floor crashes can cascade liquidations
