Morpho recently launched their own token on CEXs, which begs the question, are DeFi lending tokens good investments?
It’s not. There’s a lot of popular lending platform that makes the lending market already saturated. People usually borrow on CEX to directly trade within the exchange itself instead of using DeFi that typically charge higher on Ethereum platform.
Project related to liquidity staking and blockchain are the best option for a potential investment instead of lending since only few borrow now on DeFi since people preferred futures trading to access more liquidity in exchange for liquidation risk.
lending are quite useful though, AAVE tvl and daily borrow/lending activity is active enough.
people who stake on liquidity staking platform also frequently borrow ETH with their wrapped ETH as a colateral to boost their yields and points, I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with investing in the defi lending sector.
considering the adoption of defi is still low anyway, I think they still has the chance of growing their TVL to a massive amount in the future.
CEX on the other hand, just want to lend you money if you play by their own rules.
