18 Months of 8lends! 🤩

The summer has ended, and autumn is coming into its own. So today we celebrate both: a new season and another month of 8lends!

🤩This was our strongest month yet in total funds raised, and that's thanks to every one of you. Numbers like these are direct proof that we're moving in the right direction.

From August 1 to September 3:

🔘 Raised: $3,219,212
🔘 Total investors: 2,695
🔘 Funded loans: $20,872,027
🔘 Loans repaid: $9,254,539

As seasons change, so does 8lends. We've brought a lot of updates to you this summer, and we hope you liked them!

✨ Later, we'll share our monthly PDF report for August, where we'll point out what new features we brought you last month.

But for now, tell us: which 8lends Summer update did you like the most? 🤩

🤩The August report is ready for you to dig into

There's still a lot to get done before the end of the year, and plenty more good updates coming your way.

Let us know what's missing and what you'd love to see more of 🤩

🇯🇵 Japan just sold more US Treasury bonds in three months than in the previous four years combined.

🇨🇳 China has been steadily dumping US debt for over a decade.

Bond yields are hitting multi-decade highs in the US, UK, Germany, and Japan at the same time.

The bond market is $140 trillion, the foundation of the entire global financial system. And it's already cracking.

In the new video we break down why the Fed is trapped between inflation and a collapsing bond market, why Japan could trigger a chain reaction worldwide, and where it actually makes sense to look as an investor right now 🤩

🤩 Welcome to the 8lends league!

If you signed up on 8lends, you're already part of the Bronze league! But once you start investing, things get much more interesting.

Each league comes with different benefits. Moving up to a new league comes with its own nice perks:

🥉 Bronze: for all users (no investment needed)

Main project catalog, secondary market, basic support.

🥈 Silver: from 1,000 USDC

Bronze perks + early access to new platform features, priority support.

🥇 Gold: from 7,500 USDC

Silver perks + access to special projects that aren't available to lower tiers. Personal meetings with the team and borrowers.

💎 Diamond: from 25,000 USDC

Gold perks + a personal manager who helps you manage your portfolio: analyzes deals before you enter, finds exclusive deals for you, monitors payments, and prepares reports. Exclusive deals with limited access.

♠️ Obsidian: by invitation only. Better than a secret society.

Your league depends on the total amount of active investments. This is the sum of all active investments in projects that are currently raising funds or are already running. Investing on the secondary market also counts.

☑️ If your active investments fall below your league tier

You have 30 days to reinvest and build your capital back up to the required tier, after which your status will remain unchanged. If your capital isn't restored within this time, your league will be recalculated based on your total active investments.

✅ Already invested through Maclear?

Your level is already there. If it's not lower than your current league on 8lends, transfer it here and enable 90-day protection: there will be no demotion, even if your active capital isn't there yet.

🤩 How do you like the update? Show us with your reactions!

We reduce the cashback in $8LNDS tokens

⚖️ The current cashback in $8LNDS is 4%.

Slowly but surely, we're reducing our marketing incentives to make the platform's returns more balanced.

✅ So, we recommend you make the most of our current bonuses while they're still so high! We'll keep you updated on any further changes.

Meanwhile, we're adding more valuable updates, such as leagues, the opportunity to invest with a bank transfer, a wallet created for you, and more. The goal is to keep improving the platform and making your experience better over time.

🚩 8lends' main priority is your security and long-term success.

P.S. We're updating the leaderboard soon and adding some interesting metrics. Stay tuned! 😉

What happens to your money once you invest it?

You added funds to your account on 8lends, chose a project, invested in it, and...

What's next?

Just waiting for the interest? But what's happening in the middle of the process, between investing and receiving your interest?

We covered the whole process in one of our YouTube videos.

So, if you've ever wondered what happens to your money after you invest, here's the answer 🤩

What will make crypto move again?

Certainly not another bunch of memecoins. New memecoins only make things worse for crypto.

To push prices higher, crypto needs real Web3 businesses that create real-world value.
