FLOKI will integrate DeFi protocols to provide lending and borrowing facilities to FLOKI holders. With this integration, FLOKI holders can access loans in stablecoins or popular cryptocurrencies by using their FLOKI tokens as collateral, thereby allowing them easy access to liquidity without having to sell their tokens, a blog post by Floki read.

Last week, Twitter Chief Elon Musk sent Floki rallying after posting a photo of a dog, presumably his pet Shiba Inu, assuming the role of "new CEO" of the microblogging site.
