Tether Invests in Ledn to Bolster Bitcoin-Backed Loans

Tether, a leading stablecoin issuer, has announced a strategic investment in Ledn, a platform specializing in consumer loans collateralized by Bitcoin. This investment aims to enhance the financial infrastructure that allows both businesses and individuals to access liquidity and credit using their Bitcoin (BTC) holdings, without the necessity of selling their digital assets.

Ledn: A Pioneer in Bitcoin Financial Services

Founded in 2018, Ledn provides comprehensive custody, risk management, and liquidation services to users across more than 100 countries. As of October, the company reported originating $392 million in Bitcoin-backed loans during the third quarter of 2025. Adam Reeds, co-founder and CEO of Ledn, anticipates continued growth in demand for Bitcoin financial services. The specific amount of Tether's investment remains undisclosed.

Tether's Diversified Investment Strategy

This announcement comes on the heels of reports that Tether is considering a substantial $1.15 billion investment in Neura, a German robotics company, demonstrating a broader investment strategy.

The Resurgence of Bitcoin-Backed Loans

Globally, Bitcoin and other crypto-backed loans are showing signs of resurgence, emerging three years after the collapse of Celsius, a centralized crypto lending and borrowing platform, in July 2022. The increased interest indicates a renewed confidence in leveraging digital assets for financial products. In May, Cantor Fitzgerald partnered with Maple Finance and FalconX to execute its first Bitcoin-backed lending transaction. This collaboration signifies increasing involvement from traditional Wall Street firms in the crypto credit markets, potentially bridging the gap between traditional and decentralized finance. In July, Block Earner introduced Bitcoin-backed home loans in Australia, addressing the growing issue of housing affordability. Customers can secure cash loans for up to 50% of the property’s value, with the underlying digital assets secured by Fireblocks. Also in July, the U.S. House of Representatives introduced legislation encouraging federal mortgage agencies to recognize cryptocurrency holdings on regulated exchanges as part of a borrower's financial profile during mortgage underwriting. This move could potentially integrate digital assets into mainstream financial assessments. A February report by Canadian law firm Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP projects the Bitcoin-backed lending market to reach $45 billion by 2030, highlighting significant growth potential in the sector.
