Blockchain Podcast #87--Nimrod Lehavi, Co-Founder & CEO of Simplex

The last several years in the cryptocurrency industry have certainly seen a lot of ups and downs--the massive swell at the end of 2017, the doldrums of 2018, and the recovery of 2019.

However, despite the volatility in most of the cryptocurrency industry, a few corners of the industry have managed to continuously grow. One of these is the crypto lending sector. In early 2019--after one of the crypto markets' lowest points in months--NY-based crypto lending company BlockFi reported that both its revenues and customer base had increased to the tune of 100 percent since June of 2018, when Galaxy Digital Founder Mike Novogratz invested $52.5 million in the company.

At the time--almost exactly one year ago--Zac Prince, the company’s chief executive officer, said that the practice of crypto lending is a “low-risk type of lending,” and claimed that BlockFi had never suffered any principal losses.

Recently, Finance Magnates sat down with Zac Prince to speak about what's happened in BlockFi's journey throughout 2019, as well as the evolution of crypto lending, his own company, and the influence of DeFi lending platforms on the crypto lending space.
