Tether Expands Its Reach Into Bitcoin-Powered Financial Services
Tether has made a major strategic investment in Ledn, a top provider of bitcoin-backed consumer loans. While the exact investment amount has not been disclosed, the move clearly reflects Tether’s growing commitment to building real-world financial services powered by digital asset infrastructure.
Ledn has become one of the most resilient companies in the crypto-lending space. Unlike BlockFi, Voyager, Celsius, and Genesis—which collapsed in 2022—Ledn survived by restructuring its operations and shifting to a bitcoin-only model. This streamlined focus has strengthened user trust and made it easier for customers to access liquidity without selling their bitcoin.
Since launch, Ledn has originated more than $2.8 billion in bitcoin-backed loans. The company is on track for its strongest year yet, issuing over $1 billion in loans in 2025, including $392 million in Q3 alone—almost equal to its total lending volume for all of 2024.
How Tether’s Investment Accelerates Ledn’s Growth
Tether’s investment is expected to fuel Ledn’s momentum as demand for bitcoin-backed financial services continues to grow. The partnership strengthens the broader ecosystem of crypto-powered credit products and highlights bitcoin’s increasing role in global financial infrastructure.
With Tether’s support, Ledn aims to expand access to secure, transparent, and asset-backed lending solutions—helping more users unlock liquidity while continuing to hold their BTC. This strategic move positions both companies to play a larger role in the future of digital-asset-driven finance.
