Venezuela needs our help. The most effective way to do that right now is donations. I’ve linked the organizations that I’ve personally donated to below. Bitcoin: @PakoVM has set up a bitcoin donation page here pagos.dinerosinreglas.com/ap… GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/emergency-rel… If you are interested in helping or donating, and are looking for guidance, send me a DM.

Every client interaction is a small proof point. This one: Daniel caught the blockers before they happened and walked the client through it live. That's the same standard behind every audit, every custody check, and everything behind Ledn.

Did you know? Bitcoin-backed loans now have Wall Street's stamp of approval. 🏦 On the latest episode of Build With Bitcoin, Emily Barron (CEO of Zaria) breaks down the first-ever Bitcoin-backed loan securitization — investment-grade rated, with Jefferies on the book. "Ledn, @hodlwithLedn, issued the first-ever Bitcoin-backed loan securitization. Jefferies ran the book, and the senior bonds were rated investment grade by S&P." — Emily Barron 🎧 Full conversation with @lynnerae & @isramunozp: links below #Bitcoin #BitcoinLending #Fintech #Securitization

Ledn co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo calls Bitcoin the “king of collateral”: “It can get transferred 24/7 for pennies, and it can be sold in the billions at 2 a.m. on a Sunday. Risk is actually much better than that of a real estate mortgage lender.” “Whether you are in Madrid or Medellín, you’re getting the same rate at Ledn.” “For the first time we can tap into one of the best capital sources on planet Earth, the U.S. ABS market, and distribute that capital fairly and equally to Bitcoiners across the globe.”

Ledn ya prestó más de 10 mil millones de dólares contra Bitcoin, sin que la gente tuviera que vender un solo satoshi. Hoy, @cryptonomista, cofundador de @hodlwithLedn se suma a @DailyStackES para hablar de lo que pasa cuando tu moneda se muere, por qué Bitcoin no es el bolívar ni el dólar, y cómo pedir prestado sin vender tu BTC. 🔗👉 EN VIVO por YouTube Livestream 10:30 a.m. SV 12:30 p.m. ET

Mañana en Daily Stack en Español: @pameelaposada charla con Mauricio Di Bartolomeo (@cryptonomista). Mauricio es cofundador y CSO de @hodlwithledn, la plataforma que presta dólares con tu Bitcoin como garantía, sin que tengas que venderlo. No te la pierdas! Mañana 12:30 ET 🤩

Nos vemos mañana mis panas!

Almost a month ago, I had surgery my insurance wouldn't cover. At $64k, I would have had to sell almost ₿0.3 to pay for it. So I took out a bitcoin backed loan at 11% APR. Bitcoin's pump since then has already exceeded 2x the full year's interest. And I still have my ₿.

Trust is the one thing a lender can't post as collateral. Thank you Andre for the review 🟠

Ledn co-founder Mauricio on what happens to Bitcoin loans after a big rally "Bitcoin's up 20 some percent over the last week. What usually happens after a big pump like this, what we see at Ledn, is playing out textbook based on previous cycles." "Immediately after the run up, we see a lot of the people who took loans to buy Bitcoin in the expectation of a move reach their targets. Many people were taking a loan at 60 saying, I'm going to buy Bitcoin and close this loan when it hits 80. Eighty is reaching, and we're seeing some of those loans take profits." "Then weeks after the bump, people start feeling comfortable with their new wealth. Say you had $80,000 and now you have $110,000. We start seeing people come in and borrow against that newly appreciated Bitcoin to renovate their kitchen, to take a trip, to buy another asset." "So I expect to see originations picking up in the weeks to come from Ledn's perspective."

A lender's loan book is the one thing that tells you everything. Ours is published monthly. ledn.io/open-book-report?utm…

Ledn co-founder Mauricio on the loan book behaviour that told him the 60s were the low "In previous conversations a month and a half ago I was saying I was seeing very different behavior on the second retest to 60 that we got. From that moment, that was when I started sensing this thing wasn't going to go any lower" "The first time we tested 60, we did see some people get caught flat footed, there were some liquidations, and shortly after we saw people sending more Bitcoin, partially repaying their loans, taking preventive action" "The second time we hit 60, we saw a flood of new Bitcoin coming in to take out new loans. Many times people were using those lows to buy Bitcoin, to buy gold. When you see people running at the dip as opposed to running from the dip, that is what starts shifting things" "Our estimate is that we manage 30% of Bitcoin backed loans globally at a retail level, so when we see broad moves like this and similar behavior across the geos, that's a sentiment indicator. I was one of the proponents that 60s were the lows from months back and I was getting pushback, but it was purely based on what I was seeing"

To me Ledn are the out and out brand leader in #Bitcoin backed loans, so if you're gonna use a loan company, use the best there is out there! More than 8 years of taking care of Bitcoiners with over $10B loaned and not a single sat lost! Love @hodlwithLedn

By Mauricio's figures, roughly 60% of homes are mortgaged. Bitcoin pledged as collateral sits at 0.2%. That gap is the whole thesis. Ledn co-founder @cryptonomista at BTC Prague 2026: Proof of Scale. ow.ly/8fsQ50ZzyXg
