Welcome back to Blockstream Talk. Today we’re speaking to Max Keidun who is building off his experience with Hodl Hodl, a non-custodial trading and lending platform and being one of the main organizers of the Baltic Honeybadger conference to launch his latest project, Debifi. Like Hodl Hodl, Debifi supports non-custodial Bitcoin lending, but this time with a more institutional focus. This could be big for Bitcoin peer to peer lending market which have historically been long on demand, but kind of skinny on liquidity. We talked about how the higher, cleaner yields in peer to peer markets are starting to catch the eye of mainstream institutional money, why we need to bring back Bitcoin's honey badger branding and how Liquid and Lightning can support growth in Bitcoin lending market. If you find the show useful don't forget to share it with your network!
