1. Why fixed-rate lending never took off in crypto. - 𝕏/@0xPrince

🏷️ Lending

💬 TL;DR: Fixed-rate lending in crypto has never scaled because DeFi is structured around liquid, flexible capital, not long-term credit. Lenders value optionality—instant withdrawals, composability, and the ability to redeploy capital—over slightly higher yields from locked fixed-rate products. Borrowers, meanwhile, mostly use DeFi for tactical leverage and basis strategies, not long-term loans, so they don’t pay for duration. Fixed-rate markets create maturity fragmentation, thin liquidity, and early-exit risks, making them less attractive than floating-rate pools. Fixed-rate can exist as a niche or hybrid product, but it will likely never become the default, unless lender behavior or secondary markets for duration fundamentally change. — @Danicjade
