This is about aligning a key strategic partner to our clients’ success.

We have a great working relationship with Tether on the institutional funding side, and the core reason for this strategic investment is to align the largest stablecoin in the world, USD₮, with the leading consumer bitcoin-backed lender in the world, Ledn.

This move is a signal that our partners are committed to our success and that of our clients. They are betting on Ledn as the leader in responsible, long-term bitcoin-backed lending.

Ultimately, this alignment will allow Ledn to help more clients succeed with bitcoin-backed lending, in more places, and over time, at better rates.

Ledn's continued exponential growth is further enabled by this partnership, allowing us to continue offering market-leading products as the industry matures.

We will ship new products and expand into new markets faster. The Ledn ecosystem of financial services will deliver a seamless experience for the Tether ecosystem of assets. The best bitcoin-backed services, with the best stablecoin(s)!

What This Means for You:

• Our Flagship Bitcoin-Backed Loan: Near-term, nothing changes in terms of our focus on our flagship product.
• Smoother USD₮ Flows: For our clients in more markets, this partnership will result in smoother and more efficient USD₮ flows for loan disbursements, repayments, and trade.
