6.5 Lending & DeFi Integrations

Beyond trading, Asset Avenue integrates with external DeFi protocols, enabling members to use their real estate-backed tokens as collateral for loans.

For example, if an investor owns 500 shares in a Lisbon co-living development, those tokens can be used to access short-term liquidity without selling the asset. This introduces a new utility layer, unlocking financial tools typically unavailable to small investors.
