The rise of fintech platforms, blockchain technology, AI-driven credit assessment, and big data analytics has enhanced transparency and risk evaluation, encouraging investor participation. SMEs and startups are the key beneficiaries, leveraging these models to secure funding for innovation and expansion. Furthermore, integration with traditional financial institutions and government support for digital lending ecosystems are fueling market expansion.
