Bitcoin-Backed Mortgage — ‘The First Product of Its Kind to Hit the Market’
Ledn announced Wednesday “the impending launch of a bitcoin-backed mortgage product,” which the company says is “the first product of its kind to hit the market.” The announcement details:
This mortgage will enable Ledn clients to use their bitcoin holdings to purchase a property while continuing to benefit from potential price appreciation of both assets.
Ledn offers interest-bearing savings accounts and bitcoin-backed loans, allowing clients access to capital without having to sell their crypto holdings.
同社によると、127カ国以上に顧客が登録されており、ローン顧客の44％がラテンアメリカにあるという。 「Lednの米ドル建てローンの組成は25倍以上に増加し、プラットフォーム上の資産は1.7億ドルを超えました。これは、4,000年第3四半期から2020％の増加に相当します。同じ期間に、登録ユーザーベースはほぼ10倍に増加しました」と発表では述べられています。
Regarding the upcoming bitcoin-backed mortgage product, Ledn explained that “Clients will be able to blend an equal amount of bitcoin and property collateral as part of the mortgage loan.” The company is targeting over $100 million in bitcoin-backed mortgage originations by the end of the first quarter of next year.
