Instead of requiring collateral like many other DeFi platforms, Clearpool focuses on unsecured lending. Loans are priced based on supply and demand, creating a model that appeals to both large financial players and everyday liquidity providers.<\/p>\n<h2>A New Way to Lend and Earn<\/h2>\n<p>Clearpool allows liquidity providers to earn by supplying capital to pools that generate yield. These yields increase further through CPOOL rewards, the protocol\u2019s native token. Each provider receives cpTokens, which are used in the platform\u2019s credit system and offer options for managing risk and hedging exposure.<\/p>\n<p>As the demand for more flexible financial infrastructure increases, Clearpool is building the tools to support movement between global capital markets and decentralized networks. With over $120 trillion in value tied up in traditional markets, bridging those funds into DeFi creates new opportunities for both sides.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"> Clearpool&#039;s Q1 2025 report is out!<\/p>\n<p>Key Takeaways:<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/72x72\/1f535.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd35\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/> Clearpool surpassed $750M in total loans originated<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/72x72\/1f535.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd35\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24CPOOL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$CPOOL<\/a> milestones: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bybit_Official?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Bybit_Official<\/a> Perpetual Futures contract and listing on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/binance?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@binance<\/a> Alpha<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/72x72\/1f535.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd35\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/> Ozean ecosystem expanding: Partnerships with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maplefinance?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@maplefinance<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LidoFinance?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LidoFinance<\/a>,\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GiGe7Z5WIy\">pic.twitter.com\/GiGe7Z5WIy<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
