Bitcoin lending market could reach $1 trillion

Ledn co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo predicts the bitcoin-backed lending market could surge to $1 trillion within the next decade. He believes that the issuance of investment-grade bonds is key to unlocking substantial institutional capital for this sector. Ledn, which originated $1.4 billion in loans in 2025 and claims a 30% market share, has already demonstrated this potential with its own bond rating. This projection comes despite the crypto lending sector's past struggles, including major bankruptcies in 2022, suggesting a potential resurgence driven by more robust financial instruments.
