NFTfi: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

NFTfi is a platform where NFT owners can use their NFT assets as collateral to borrow cryptocurrency from lenders or lend to other users. This allows NFT holders to access funds by pledging their NFTs as collateral. When a loan offer is accepted, the NFT is held in a secure escrow smart contract and the cryptocurrency is sent directly to the borrower's wallet. The assessment of the NFT's value for the loan follows a similar process used in the traditional art world, where institutions such as banks, galleries, or auction houses offer loans to artists based on the value of their art.

About FundedIQ's NFTfi Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for NFTfi is left off this page rather than filled in.
