Next-generation Art Financing for Web 3.0

Art financing is a potent tool from traditional finance that Nexo has adapted for the blockchain space, and, more specifically, for NFTs. This feature comes in handy in cases where a client doesn’t already own an NFT but would like additional capital to acquire one. For clients who don’t have an NFT to put up as collateral, Nexo can create a bespoke service, wherein we provide the additional capital needed to buy their desired token, purchase it on the client’s behalf and immediately collateralize it to back the outstanding crypto credit.

How to Get Started

Since the NFT Lending Desk is an OTC service, clients who wish to apply for NFT-backed loans will have to fill out our specialized contact form. Here’s how:

  1. Go to the NFT Lending page and click the “Apply Now” button.
  2. Fill out the form. Make sure you have your Bored Ape/CryptoPunk’s ID, you’ll need it to complete this step.
  3. Once you submit the form, a Nexo representative will contact you promptly.

Please, be aware that due to our team’s capacity, we will only respond to requests that include the requested information about the client’s ownership of an NFT from one of the supported collections.

What’s Next for Our NFT Lending Services

Nexo is the first crypto lender to offer NFT-backed crypto credit, and with it, creating a range of completely new financial tools for this emerging asset class. Our NFT Lending Desk and art financing functionalities are just the beginning of Nexo’s NFT and MetaFi journey, with more investment-grade products, accessible, secure and high-profit exposure to the NFT market coming to our product suite soon.
