Crypto lending lets you earn yield on idle tokens by lending them in DeFi protocols or custodial platforms. Aave, Compound, Maker, Celsius, and BlockFi dominate the space, each with unique collateral rules. Smart‑contract bugs, undercollateralization, and liquidity crunches pose risks. Manage right to capture 10‑20% APY, diversify assets, hedge against fiat volatility. Watch platform audits, governance shifts, and market swings.
