Ledger has introduced a new loan feature allowing eligible users of Ledger Wallet to borrow stablecoins like USDC or USDT by using wrapped Bitcoin tokens such as cbBTC and WBTC as collateral. This service integrates Morpho lending markets via Yield.xyz, enabling users to manage loans directly within the hardware wallet app while keeping transaction authorization secure on the device. Borrowers maintain Bitcoin exposure while accessing liquidity, with loan-to-value ratios and borrowing rates varying by asset and market conditions. This addition enhances Ledger Wallet's functionality by offering Bitcoin-backed borrowing options without selling native Bitcoin.
