Tether Entered the Bitcoin Lending Market with Investment in Ledn

Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, has made a strategic investment in Ledn, one of the leaders in the global consumer loans market secured by bitcoin. The goal of the partnership is to develop a financial infrastructure that allows access to loans without the need to sell digital assets.
Ledn provides loans secured by crypto assets using its own custody, risk management, and liquidation mechanisms. As a result, users’ assets remain protected throughout the entire loan period.
Since its launch, Ledn has disbursed more than $2.8 billion in loans, including more than $1 billion in 2025, which is a company record. In the third quarter of 2025 alone, Ledn disbursed $392 million in loans, almost doubling the entire volume for 2024. The annual ARR exceeded $100 million, which indicates an increase in demand for bitcoin loans.
At the same time, the crypto-secured lending market is showing rapid growth. According to Data Intelo’s forecasts, the sector will grow from $7.8 billion in 2024 to over $60 billion in 2033.
According to him, the partnership “expands access to credit without requiring individuals to sell their digital assets”, strengthening self-saving and financial resilience.
Adam Reeds, co-founder and CEO of Ledn, emphasized the strategic nature of the collaboration:
He also noted that the company’s loan portfolio will almost triple by 2024, which “confirms the decision to go all-in on bitcoin.”
Tether’s investment fits into the global trend of using cryptocurrencies as financial collateral. In 2025, there have already been several high-profile cases, including
- In Australia, Block Earner launched a bitcoin-backed mortgage amid the housing crisis, the first such program in the country
- CleanSpark raised $100 million from Coinbase Prime secured by its own bitcoin portfolio (12,703 BTC)
- jPMorgan will launch a program allowing institutional clients to use bitcoin and Ethereum as collateral for loans
- Metaplanet, the largest publicly traded holder of the first cryptocurrency in Asia, took out a $100 million loan using its crypto assets as collateral.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision
The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
