Tether announced a strategic investment in Bitcoin mortgage lending platform Ledn, expanding its digital asset lending market.

According to an official announcement from Tether, the digital asset industry company Tether has announced a strategic investment in Ledn, a global leader in the consumer Bitcoin mortgage lending market. This move aims to expand access to credit, enabling individuals and businesses to obtain loans without selling their digital assets.

Ledn focuses on Bitcoin-secured loans and has disbursed over $2.8 billion in loans since its inception, with over $1 billion disbursed in 2025, marking the company's strongest annual performance. Its annual recurring revenue (ARR) has exceeded $100 million.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that by partnering with Ledn, they can enhance self-custody and financial resilience, and create real-world use cases for digital assets as a key pillar of the global financial system.

The report shows that the crypto asset-backed lending market is projected to grow from $7.8 billion in 2024 to over $60 billion in 2033. Ledn's infrastructure, with its advanced custody, risk management, and clearing systems, positions it favorably in both the retail and institutional markets. (Tether Blog)
