This one is actually pretty straightforward. The middleman here charges interest and hopes the borrowers default so they can sell the assets at a profit.
But how is a repo'd nft worth anything?
Pro ably not worth millions or anything, but I'm sure some schmuck would buy for $10 a pop at least.
How is a sealed comic from 1967 worth anything?
Same thing, because someone will pay for it.
Presumably it's worth the same as it would be if you simply sold it.
