最新报道:Maple Finance's SYRUP token defied the broader crypto market downturn with a 23% surge this week, driven by increased lending activity on its institutional DeFi platform. The token's rise comes as Maple reported a 40% quarter-over-quarter growth in loan originations, reaching $850 million in Q2. CEO Sidney Powell attributed the growth to rising demand for crypto-backed loans among hedge funds and trading firms seeking capital efficiency. Despite the bearish market, Maple's active loan portfolio now stands at $1.2 billion, with default rates remaining below 2%. The platform recently expanded to Ethereum layer-2 networks to reduce gas costs for borrowers.
