New York based DeFi marketplace and lending platform for financing NFTs raised $15m in Series A funding led by Pantera Capital.
There are several such platforms that facilitate loans against NFTs, including NFTfi and Pawnfi. Masiello said Arcade's competitive edge is that it allows multiple NFTs to be included in a bundle to acquire a single loan through a wrapped asset called wNFT. This helps with lower gas fees since there is a single loan transaction instead of multiple ones, he added.
