MetaStreet is a capital provider for NFT-backed loans, best known as the architect behind developing infrastructure for automated underwriting and execution of fixed-rate NFT loans. Its latest product called “PowerSweep” aims to increase the purchasing power of NFT traders by allowing them to buy and sell NFTs on a margin. The crypto-fintech uses Reservoir’s NFT order book protocol to facilitate the trades.

To date, the protocol has facilitated around $40 million in lending volume. MetaStreet is also the issuer of two of the largest NFT-backed loans in the industry.

“We’re fortunate to be deeply entrenched in NFT finance at such a formative period of time in the lifecycle of the metaverse. This is one of those unique moments in an industry’s growth where everyone who’s here today is simply focused on bringing new users into the space, an entire blue ocean of opportunity,” said Conor Moore, co-founder of MetaStreet.
