NAUT tracks 93 crypto lending platforms: project companies whose own NAUT description says they run a lending or borrowing protocol, platform or money market, read from NAUT's database on 12 November 2026. 57 of the 93 have at least 1 funding round on NAUT's record and 48 have a live token, from Aave and Morpho to Bitcoin lenders such as zestprotocol and Liquidium.
How this list was built: on 12 November 2026, 119 live, non-archived project rows had a description that matched lending, borrowing or money market wording. Each description was read, and 25 rows were dropped because their own description names a different main product, such as a stablecoin, a DEX, a launchpad, a liquid staking token or a T-bill fund. 1 more row, Alpha Fi, was left out because its live record has no NAUT page to link. That leaves 93. Token flags and round counts are NAUT's own record. The funding totals of the 8 companies with the largest recorded raises were checked against outside reporting; the other 49 companies with a round were not put through that check.
Which crypto lending platforms are there, by segment?
The 93 crypto lending companies fall into 5 segments, read from what each one's own description says it lends against or how it prices loans. The table is ranked by how many platforms each segment holds. "Token" counts the platforms with a live token on NAUT, and "Round" those with at least 1 funding round there.
| Segment | Total | Token | Round |
|---|---|---|---|
| Money markets | 68 | 34 | 41 |
| Credit and RWA | 8 | 4 | 6 |
| NFT lending | 7 | 3 | 5 |
| Bitcoin lending | 6 | 4 | 2 |
| Fixed-rate lending | 4 | 3 | 3 |
| All segments | 93 | 48 | 57 |
Money markets and pooled lending make up 68 of the 93: pooled supply and borrow protocols such as Aave, Venus, Kamino and Euler Finance, many tied to 1 chain, from Suilend on Sui to Yei Finance on Sei. The 8 credit and RWA lenders, among them Goldfinch, Clearpool and 3janexyz, lend to institutions, businesses or against real-world assets. 7 platforms lend against NFTs, 6 serve Bitcoin holders (Blend Finance, Firefish, Liquidium, Tonka Finance, Yala, zestprotocol), and 4 sell fixed-rate loans (NotionalFinance, Port Finance, Tenor Finance, term_labs).
Which of these DeFi lending platforms have a live token?
48 of the 93 DeFi lending platforms carry a live token on their NAUT record, and 32 of those also have a funding round there. "Rounds" is the count of rounds NAUT holds for the company.

Which crypto lending platforms raised the most?
The chart shows NAUT's recorded totals for the 10 largest crypto borrowing platforms by amount raised, once 6 larger totals are set aside. Those 6 belong to Parrot Protocol, Morpho, Aave, Euler Finance, Save and TrueFi: an outside check of NAUT's figure disagreed with reporting for the first 3 and found no source that matched for the other 3, so their totals stay off the chart until they are fixed.
2 of the 8 checked totals held. Goldfinch is recorded at $37M across 3 rounds, inside the $36M to $38M range outside trackers report, and its latest round on NAUT, a $25M Series A extension led by Andreessen Horowitz on 6 January 2022, matches CoinDesk. Silo Finance is recorded at $31.1M from 1 round, and CoinLore states that "The Silo Finance (SILO) ICO started in 2021 and raised $31,147,944 USD." The other 8 totals on the chart, from Moonwell at $23M down, are NAUT's record and were not checked.
Which investors backed the most crypto lending rounds?
The table ranks the 12 investors that appear most often as backers in the rounds NAUT holds for these 93 companies. Each count is NAUT's record of backers, so a backer a source names but NAUT has not stored is missing from it.

What this tells a BD team selling to crypto lending companies

- 68 of the 93 are money markets, many named after 1 chain, such as Suilend on Sui or Yei Finance on Sei, so a pitch for 1 chain narrows the list fast.
- The 8 credit and RWA lenders lend to institutions, businesses or against real-world assets by their own descriptions, a different buyer from the pooled money markets.
- 20 platforms have neither a token flag nor a round on NAUT, so they are earlier and harder to qualify from the outside.
