Did you know you can borrow USDC and use it for collateral trading by depositing ETH, cbBTC, cbETH and wstETH Earning, Borrowing, and Lending on Avantis Unlike protocols such as Aave or Compound, Avantis doesn’t offer direct peer-to-peer lending and borrowing. Instead, it uses synthetic leverage: traders gain exposure via perpetual contracts, while “earning” opportunities come from providing liquidity, trading rebates, and incentive programs. That said, integrations with partners (e.g., Morpho) extend Avantis into lending-like territory, enabling USDC borrowing and collateralized strategies.
