Bitcoin-Backed
Loans with Morpho

As integrated by

Launch scalable, efficient & transparent financial products faster

In January 2025, Coinbase launched crypto-backed loans powered by Morpho, marking the largest-scale DeFi integration to date.

The product gives millions of users access to onchain loans without all the complexities associated with using DeFi directly. Coinbase abstracts the blockchain itself, wallets, gas fees, and wrapping, so that customers can seamlessly get USDC loans against their BTC collateral, all within the Coinbase App.

In the background, the loans are powered by Morpho, providing instant access to hundreds of millions in USDC liquidity while offering Coinbase customers the most competitive rates and loan-to-value ratios available onchain.
