Open Lending Protocols
The open lending protocol has grabbed the eye of the financial experts over the other open finance products that are built on Ethereum. There is a steep rise in the P2P protocols, which made a decentralized finance system to make a huge noise in the market. The advantages of open lending protocols over the conventional credit structure include:
· Integrate the digital asset for lending and borrowing
· Use digital assets as collaterals.
· Quick transactions and secured lending techniques.
· There are no credit checks, so the people on the other end of the border can also lend money.
· Cut down expenses by automating the process.
The open lending protocol is confined to the public blockchain, i.e., Ethereum. It becomes easier for financial companies to expand their business globally.
Issuance Platforms

It has become easier to invest in securities in the crypto space. The popular digital security issuance platforms that are available in the market are UPRETS, Polymath, and Harbor. These will offer all the required frameworks, tools, and resources to issue the digital securities using the blockchain technology. The standard contracts for digital securities are prepared for digitalized assets that will automate the compliance process. The trade parameters are also tweaked by complying with the regulations.
Decentralized Prediction Market
The most compelling components of open finance are the decentralized prediction market. Though it looks complicated, it offers a myriad of benefits. The prediction markets have been popular tools for a long time. These are used to predict hedge risk and speculate about world events. However, the same job is done even by the decentralized market but by using the cryptocurrencies. They cannot censor the market. When there is no censorship, people will see this market as risky for collaterals.
Various types of risks are associated with the financial market are predicted, be it related to real-world events, politics, or weather.
Out of all the decentralized prediction markets, Auger is found to be the popular one. The company wants to make people use cryptocurrencies in micro insurance products to the fullest.
Exchanges and Open Markets
The exchanges in the open finance would have P2P protocols and decentralized exchange protocols. These DEX and P2P exchanges will use Ethereum to exchange the assets online between two parties and without the involvement of any third party in doing the transaction.
The decentralized exchange protocol will make use of some advanced techniques to exchange the tokens like atomic swaps. It allows exchanging the asset from one person to another effortlessly and at a brisk pace with a low amount of risks.
There are different open markets available to exchange non-fungible tokens, which are also called as crypto-collectibles. Various crypto-collectibles allow you to buy and sell the crypto assets.
Stable Coins
There are new models of stable coins being released into the cryptocurrency market in recent times. These include — issuing the digital securities, performing the audit of reserves, and keeping up the price pegs. However, stable coins are nothing but the coins that are issued by the blockchain to keep up a stable peg. Most of the time, the assets would be gold.
Stable coins are categorized into three types. They are Crypto collateralized, fiat collateralized, and the other one is non- collateralized.
The crypto collateralized has cryptocurrencies as the collateral, and these would be frozen. You do not need to depend on the third party to store the collateral.
Non-collateralized will make use of the Seigniorage Shares scheme. The digital securities will be generated using the algorithm. It keeps on changing the supply to keep up the digital security price associated with the asset.
Fiat collateralized is backed by the fiat money, which is real in the bank accounts.
