In this Cointelegraph video, we explore the comeback of crypto lending in 2025 — what’s changed since the 2022 collapse, and whether the risks are still the same. Bitcoin’s price has soared since many investors first entered the market, leaving holders with a tough question: Should you sell now, or keep holding for the future? For some, selling could mean finally realizing profits and turning digital wealth into real-world rewards. For others, it raises the fear of missing out on even greater gains if Bitcoin (BTC) climbs higher. That tension is driving renewed interest in an idea that was both popular and controversial in the last bull market: crypto lending.

Rollup-based layer 2s destroy crypto’s trustless nature through centralized sequencers that control inclusion, ordering and execution of transactions.

About $1.17 billion will be released through cliff unlocks, while $3.36 billion will come from linear unlocks in September. Crypto projects are set to unlock about $4.5 billion in vested tokens in September, according to data tracker Tokenomist.
