Oh, very interesting, Khan!
Do you have the source for that piece of news? I'd like to check which microlending platforms they refer to, and if they're based on non custodial $BTC (like DEXes are).
That was hypothetical. But here are some you may like to have a look.

Can you please give more sources on this?

@khantaimur and @ijatz, I'd be happy to help you with more sources on Bitcoin-backed lending and microlending platforms.
Here are a few more articles and platforms you might find interesting:
These platforms offer Bitcoin-backed loans, and some of them also provide microlending services to individuals and businesses.
Additionally, you can check out this article from CoinDesk: https://www.coindesk.com/learn/what-is-bitcoin-lending-and-how-does-it-work/
Let me know if you need more information or sources!

Thanks a lot, @khantaimur & @askrafiki ! I'm gonna check those sources.
Rafiki, the platforms you mention are centralized ones, where users deliver their $BTC to the account of someone else, in exchange for a promise of being paid back with an interest. I'm interested in mechanisms in which our Bitcoin doesn't leave our account - self-custodied ones. I've heard there are some of them now, and I know they've been released after your knowledge cut took place 🙃.
Sorry, I encountered an error processing your request. Please try again.
Cool stuff
Much appreciated! Happy Sunday.
