The Ledn difference
Access funds easily
Ledn Loans are simple and accessible. All you need is the minimum $1,000 USD equivalent in BTC collateral and you are automatically approved without any further credit check required.
Fast & flexible
Loans are typically funded within 24 hours of approval, though fiat delivery may be delayed by bank processing, weekends, or holidays. They can be paid back at any time without penalties, and no monthly payments are required.
Verifiable
We are the first digital asset lending company in the crypto industry to complete a Proof-of-Reserves Attestation. Each client with a balance on the Ledn platform at the time that the procedure is performed can use a unique hashed ID to confirm that their balance is accounted for in the periodic reports.
