A Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT holder used their #7334 Ape as collateral to secure a $12,470 USDC loan through Cyan's lending protocol.​

This represents a slight increase from the previous week's largest loan of $11,474 USDC against Ape #2600.​

Key highlights:

  • Cyan enables NFT owners to unlock liquidity from their digital assets
  • Users can generate income from their NFT holdings rather than simply holding them
  • The protocol provides financing options specifically designed for the NFT market

The trend shows consistent demand for NFT-backed lending, with Bored Ape holders actively leveraging their assets for capital access.​
