Let digital assets truly enter the real financial infrastructure. Crypto-asset mortgage market to grow to $60 billion LEDN is a fintech company focused on Bitcoin mortgages, with an emphasis on secure custody and risk control. According to Tether, since its inception, Ledn has issued more than $2.8 billion in bitcoin mortgages, of which it exceeded $1 billion in 2025 alone, a record high. Especially in the third quarter of this year, the amount of loans in a single quarter reached $392 million, almost equal to the total of all of 2024. LEDN's annualized recurring revenue (ARR) now exceeds $100 million, demonstrating strong demand for such products. In addition, the reason for choosing to invest in Ledn, Tether also cited Data Intelo's latest report that the global crypto asset mortgage market is expected to grow rapidly from about $7.8 billion in 2024 to more than $60 billion in 2033, with a high compound annual growth rate. The main driving force for the growth of this space will come from the fact that more and more investors want to hold bitcoin while still having flexible access to US dollar liquidity, rather than selling assets at high points. Creating real-world use cases for digital assets Commenting on the investment, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said: “This investment reflects Tether's belief that financial innovation should empower people. Together with LEDN, we are expanding access to credit without having to sell digital assets. This approach creates real-world use cases for digital assets, which is conducive to strengthening their role as a core pillar of a more inclusive global financial system.” Adam Reeds, co-founder and CEO of LEDN, also highlighted: “This investment brings together two market leaders to shape the future of the Bitcoin mortgage market. Based on current estimates, Leden's loan size is expected to nearly triple from 2024, confirming the correctness of our 'All-in on Bitcoin' strategy. We expect demand for Bitcoin financial services to continue to skyrocket, and our partnership with Tether will ensure that LEDN remains ahead of the curve as the market continues to evolve and grow.” Related reports CryptoQuant: Bitcoin must hold the $87,000 “bull-bear fork”, 74,000 magnesium is the last line of defense for collapse Bitcoin enters a “mid-life crisis”: how does the veteran Crypto win the favor of Gen Z?
