So, isn't anyone else interested in this? What could possibly attract more people than receiving interest on their own money? Plus it's' a decentralized platform, it would be way safer than exchanges.
Has anyone from CNX talked to their business partners about the possibility of building this and its potential? What was their opinion? I think the sole reason why Poloniex has so much of the altcoin volume is simply because of this single feature. it allows people to receive interest while others take the risk.
This way, liquidity wouldn't be ''locked''. People who don't want to take the risk of trading could earn while providing liquidity and attracting more traders. it's a win-win situation. Imagine - assuming it's feasible, that you could choose to lend to shorts or longs. It could be nice to choose and people could pick the side offering higher interest rates. It would be a bidding war! Not to mention every other exchange joining OpenLedger could use this for marketing purposes as well, taking away Polo's market share to us.
