DeFi lending is becoming one of the clearest examples of how blockchain technology can improve financial infrastructure. Stablecoins have created a global base layer for digital dollars, while lending markets allow those assets to remain liquid, transparent, and productive. As institutional interest grows, the next challenge is making DeFi safer, more efficient, and mature enough for large-scale capital allocation.

In this episode of Untangling Web3, Sam MacPherson, Co-Founder and CEO of Spark, explores how DeFi lending has evolved from early crypto-native experimentation into serious onchain financial infrastructure. This conversation covers stablecoin adoption, liquidity, risk management, real-world assets, and why lending markets are becoming a core part of the digital assets ecosystem.
