Nexo introduces zero-interest crypto lending for Bitcoin and Ether holders, offering fixed-term loans with predetermined repayment conditions. Previously available privately, the product facilitated over $140 million in borrowing in 2025. Borrowers can choose loan size and duration, with options to repay using stablecoins or collateral, renewing under new terms if desired.

Crypto lending expands in 2025 with centralized lenders like Nexo, Ledn, Xapo Bank, and Coinbase, offering fully collateralized structures. Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols also see growth, with DeFi lending reaching a peak of $91.98 billion in total value locked on Oct. 7, 2025. Although market activity dipped post-crypto liquidation, TVL now stands around $66 billion.

Aave leads the DeFi lending market with over $22 billion in outstanding loans backed by $55 billion in assets, followed by Morpho, supporting $3.6 billion in loans backed by $10 billion in liquidity. DeFi lending continues to evolve, with various platforms contributing to the sector’s growth in 2025.
