“10% to 16% Cut”

“Today, the system is taking anywhere from 10 to 16% of the value of a loan through these intermediaries, and if you remove them, we should be able to give that back to people.” — Kevin Miao, Avalanche Summit

Cost & Yield Breakdown Comparison

Traditional Bank vs. Avalanche Tokenized Pool
Mechanics of Disintermediation:

When commercial loans move on-chain, smart contract pools replace broker commissions, trust escrow fees, legal documentation overhead, and secondary warehouse line warehousing fees. The resulting $2,580 annual delta can either reduce direct interest for the borrower or boost liquidity provider yield.
