Providing liquidity
On an individual level, the benefits of users’ choice for the CoinLoan platform are evident. However, these 14 million XRP tokens do not solely come from individual users. There are miners, cryptocurrency exchanges, and OTC-platforms that contribute to this number as well. The reason for that is clear and evident; the ability to maintain liquidity for all parties. CoinLoan collaborates through partnerships with several established entities in the cryptocurrency industry to provide traders and miners the ability to trade, stake, and hold.
CoinLoan is on a mission to make cryptocurrency lending as easy as possible, and by doing so, have the opportunity to change lives. Where interest rates are negative, and access to monetary funds are limited, cryptocurrencies offer a solution, and thus, it should be available to anyone in the most straightforward manner possible.
