Tobias van Amstel

Tobias van Amstel, co-founder and CEO at Altitude about how DeFi is redefining the future of borrowing.


Traditional lending is quietly being disrupted by decentralized finance (DeFi). It's not just about lower interest rates and faster approvals; it's about financial empowerment for people without access to traditional systems. 


DeFi lending platforms are becoming the "new banks" as outlined by real people who turned to Altitude Finance for loans to pay for their rooftops and plots of land.


Using BTC to take out loans with Altitude turns into a 2.63% interest rate on average. 


Smart design and automation can turn debt into an advantage.


The DeFi platform has over $26 million locked up by users.
