Liquidium - First Loans & New Investors
Update of 07/17/2023
Dear Investor,
Last week was very exciting to us, not only did we close a bunch more investors but this was the first full week after our closed beta launch. On our waitlist, there are around 20k users and we gave early access to the first 1500 users. Four loans have been taken last week, one has already been successfully repaid. In total, we count over 105 loan requests at the moment and we received tons of positive and constructive feedback. We already implemented a lot of the user feedback and are currently looking to get another dev on the team to iterate even faster.
Liquidium has been trending on Twitter and we were invited to some of the biggest Twitter Spaces as guests to talk about Liquidium and Ordinal lending. Additionally our CMO spoke as a panelist at BlockDown Portugal and our CEO was a panelist at the Building on Bitcoin Virtual Summit. Additionally, we updated our FAQ and chatbot, and are actively working on an invite system for our closed beta.
Thank you for your continued support as we work to revolutionize the Ordinals lending space.

Opportunity
NFT lending has seen increased activity with new companies entering the space and the total borrow volume sitting at $2B. Blur released BLEND, a peer-to-peer NFT lending protocol on Ethereum, and Binance launched its own NFT lending platform.
Dune Analytics reports that the NFT lending market on Ethereum has almost reached $2 billion in borrowing volume. In addition, Ordinals have been experiencing substantial weekly growth.
Liquidium is applying a similar concept to Ordinals, which will have a significant impact on the current market. It will be the first DeFi solution for Ordinals, allowing users to borrow and lend BTC using Ordinals as collateral.
Using metrics gathered from our competitors on Ethereum and comparing the Ethereum NFT market to the current Ordinals market, we estimate a daily borrow volume of $1.3 million on Liquidium. These numbers are expected to increase significantly during the next bull market.
