FAQ

Your Bitcoin Loan questions answered

What is the minimum loan amount?

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

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.

Is my country eligible?

What currency can I get my loan in?

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