‍Coinbase Bitcoin-Backed Lending Surpasses $1 Billion, Leverages DeFi for Low Rates Coinbase’s Bitcoin-backed lending product has exceeded $1 billion in originations, utilizing the DeFi protocol Morpho to offer competitive rates as low as 5% APR. This approach allows Coinbase to operate as a technology provider, sidestepping some licensing hurdles faced by competitors and connecting centralized exchanges with DeFi. Users deposit BTC as collateral via the Coinbase app to secure USDC loans through Morpho, or deposit USDC to earn yield. This decentralized infrastructure offers greater accessibility across the U.S. compared to licensed competitors. The low rates, significantly below rivals like Ledn and Figure, are driving growth. Coinbase plans to increase individual loan limits from $1M to $5M. While Morpho is permissionless, Coinbase emphasizes that its users are KYC'ed. Additional compliance measures include Circle's ability to blacklist addresses and the Morpho Association's discretion to restrict access based on regulations. A limited version of the product has received NYDFS approval.

‍Institutions Shift Focus: Regulated Crypto Yield Over High APYs Europe's MiCA framework is driving a significant change in crypto yield generation. Institutions are now prioritizing regulatory compliance, transparency, and robust risk management over high advertised APYs. The allure of high returns often conceals substantial risks like smart contract vulnerabilities and counterparty exposure. As MiCA takes effect, providers lacking stringent compliance and transparent risk management will struggle to meet institutional demands. The future of crypto yield lies with those investing in compliance and operational transparency. https://cryptovka.ru/en/news/6146/regulated-crypto-yield-institutions-prioritize-compliance-over-high-apys
