VALR, Africa’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trade volume, today announced the launch of DeFi Lending, enabling customers to seamlessly access decentralised finance (DeFi) yield opportunities directly through the VALR platform.

Powered by Aave, one of the world’s largest liquidity protocols renowned for transparency, security, and user control, VALR’s DeFi Lending allows customers to lend popular crypto assets—including USDC, USDT, and ETH—and earn hourly rewards directly from blockchain protocols. With this new offering, VALR continues to simplify access to sophisticated crypto products, removing technical barriers that often prevent wider adoption.

Users can effortlessly manage lending positions—whether unlocking funds, adding to positions, or viewing detailed interest histories. Funds lent through VALR’s DeFi Lending are easily unlocked, with liquidity typically available instantly or within a day.

Currently available through VALR’s website, the feature will soon be extended to VALR’s mobile app, ensuring even greater accessibility for all customers.

VALR’s DeFi Lending complements the exchange’s existing suite of yield-generating products, including crypto lending and staking, further strengthening its position as the leading comprehensive crypto platform in Africa. The firm continues to actively explore additional protocols and assets to expand its yield product offerings in the future.
