About Huobi C2C lending service
Huobi C2C lending comes at a time when lending funds using crypto is becoming a popular trend. For example, the fintech platform Crypto.com had also recently made important updates to its lending platform.
Huobi’s C2C lending service platform, essentially, provides a meeting point for C2C token lenders and borrowers. while also matching them with one another. The lending service is divided into two parts, namely:
C2C Loan – This feature enables the token holders to lend their tokens out at a specified daily interest rate. Borrowers have the liberty to choose whose token they would like to accept. They would also pay the lender the agreed token interest rate daily.
C2C Borrow – This service is majorly for the margin traders. It provides them with the option of lending at a much cheaper interest rate. Users looking to enjoy the C2C Borrow service do not need to hold any Huobi token (HT). They will also enjoy a daily interest rate of 0.02%. Users can easily locate the C2C Borrow feature on the Huobi C2C Margin. Users logging in through the official website will find C2C Margin in the “Margin trading zone“.
The Huobi blog also provided guides to C2C Loan and C2C Borrow for its users.
