Stani Kulechov edited this page Dec 28, 2017 · 1 revision

In crypto-economy

Borrowing Ether to participate in different ICOs and purchasing tokens from the exchange for investment strategies without the need to sell tokens. Lending altcoins and tokens for short selling or hedging. Financing mining expansions, liquidity for trading, finance for blockchain startups for ICO marketing by pledging ICO tokens. Unleashing the Ether locked in ENS domains for any finance goal.

New use-case: buying dips of crypto-currencies in trading.

In FIAT-economy

By using FIAT-pegging (using USD instead of Ether as a calculation), any finance goal of real world can be met without bearing the volatility.

Future use-cases

Tokenization of Things. Pledging real property, shares, intellectual property and physical objects (such as cars, boats, power plants, solar energy plants and art).
