What this means for crypto lending
Student loans are typically large, long-term debts managed by banks and government agencies. Moving this type of lending on-chain could allow borrowers to access capital faster and with more transparency.
For investors and lenders, on-chain student loans offer a new asset class that can be tracked publicly and settled automatically through smart contracts—self-executing agreements that run on the blockchain.
