FAQ

Your Bitcoin Loan questions answered

What is the minimum loan amount?

You’ll need at least $1,000 in Bitcoin collateral to qualify.

What are Ledn's rates for bitcoin loans?

Ledn's bitcoin-backed loan rates start at 11.9 APR, with lower tiered rates available automatically as your loan size grows — down to 9.25% APR for loans of $2,000,000 or more. Your rate is displayed upfront before you apply, no negotiations required.

Can I repay my loan early?

Absolutely. Repay anytime before the 12-month term ends with no penalties.

Are there monthly payments?

No monthly payments. From January 1, 2027, accrued interest and applicable fees must be paid in full at maturity or when you refinance before maturity. This applies to existing loans. Eligible remaining principal can roll into a new term once accrued fees are settled and LTV is below 65%.

What is the starting LTV?

50%

How is collateral managed at Ledn?

The collateral you post to secure your loan may only be re-posted by Ledn to a trusted institutional USD funding partner, such as a bank, credit fund or other corporate funding partner.

Collateral is held securely in segregated on-chain addresses that are verifiable by Ledn, ensuring that the collateral is legally ring-fenced from a funding partner’s assets and protected even in the unlikely bankruptcy of our funding partner.

Collateral is held securely in custody throughout the loan. Neither Ledn nor the institutional partner has the right to lend out your collateral to generate interest.

What currency can I get my loan in?

Loans are funded in USD, USDC, or your local currency, but are denominated in USD.

How do I get a Bitcoin-backed loan?

Log into ledn.io, select your type of loan from the top menu, then click "Apply for a loan".

How long does it take to get a loan?

Minutes to apply. Once approved, funding can happen same-day.

What happens if my collateral drops in value?

We’ll notify you well before any risks. You can add collateral or repay — you stay in control.

Why did Ledn issue an ABS?

At Ledn, we are constantly innovating and we want to ensure that our infrastructure continues to provide the most stable and diverse sources of liquidity for our clients. Rather than just rely on our already strong capital base to fund our investments, we chose to leverage the Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) market.

This new connection between Bitcoin holders and institutional credit markets will mean that Ledn remains the most reliable partner for your liquidity needs, backed by deep institutional capital that is independent of the volatility in the broader digital asset markets.

Is there a credit check?

Nope. Your bitcoin is your credit.
