SVB: Bitcoin lending market recovers, evolving towards institutionalization and traditional financial frameworks
Galaxy data shows that as of the first quarter of 2026, the scale of crypto-collateralized lending has reached $67 billion, a year-on-year increase of approximately 49%.
Including multiple large US banks beginning to offer Bitcoin-collateralized loans to some clients, and Ledn completing a $188 million Bitcoin-collateralized asset-backed securities (ABS) issuance and receiving an S&P BBB investment-grade rating, all indicate that the market is gradually integrating into the traditional financial framework.
Currently, Bitcoin-collateralized loan interest rates remain in the range of 7.5%-16%, higher than traditional securities-backed financing, but as more banks, private credit funds, and institutional capital enter, financing costs are expected to further decrease.
The report also points out that the Lightning Network can be used in the future for instant collateral top-ups, margin calls, and liquidation processes, thereby improving the efficiency of Bitcoin lending and payment infrastructure, and promoting the evolution of Bitcoin into a mature credit asset class.
