The conviviality of the Trump administration towards the cryptography sector will profoundly change the Bitcoin loan market (BTC) over the next four years.
It is according to Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, co-founder of LEDN, a company specializing in the supply of loans of digital assets.
“You will see a Cambrian explosion of bitcoin supported loans, because the prices will fall to a point that will make them competitive with equity or personal credit lines, or other types of instruments,” said Da Bartolomeo in Coindesk in an interview.
The botter, he said, is that these prices will drop not only in the United States, but for countries around the world, thanks to the nature of Bitcoin as a digital intake. “Gold in a safe in Switzerland is not gold in a safe in Venezuela, but bitcoin in Colombia is Bitcoin in Madrid is bitcoin all over the world. As an subscriber, I have uniform guarantees,” said Di Bartolomeo.
In practice, this means that investors in developing countries, which may not have the same type of effective financing possibilities as residents of Western countries will soon have a way to access Di Bartolomeo has qualified world -class funding at fair prices.
Indeed, the big banks are finally ready to browse cryptographic loans, now that the American Commission for Securities and Exchange (SEC) canceled SAB 121, a controversial accounting rule which made prohibitive for companies to hold cryptographic assets.
Historically, very few players have offered crypto loan services in the United States, which has rendered relatively non-competitive space, according to Di Bartolomeo.
“It is a seller’s market at the moment. We provide fully guaranteed dollars to north of 12.5%, with no loss over seven years. A bank will arrive with 12%. Another will be 10%. “It will really benefit the consumer.”

Born and raised in Venezuela, Di Bartolomeo entered the cryptographic sphere in 2014. At the time, the country was in shock of hyperinflation and the ascent of Nicolás Maduro in power. While most of Di Bartolomeo’s friends were concentrated on emigration, his brother benefited from Bitcoin exploitation thanks to the country’s cheap energy.
The family has embarked on the company, then other knowledge, but they were faced with the question of financing their operations – a single mining platform can cost thousands of dollars. Bitcoin minors residing in Canada also had the same problem, discovered Di Bartolomeo (who studied in Ontario). This is what pushed him to launch LEDN in 2018 with the co-founder Adam Reeds.
“The minors had costs and expenses, and their income was in a bitcoin. They wanted to keep a lot of their treasure as a bitcoin, because of the way it was fine. They needed a tool that helped them keep their bitcoin while giving them the Fiat they needed to pay things,” said Di Bartolomeo.
Quick advance until 2025 and LEDN customers now have access to products that include Bitcoin loans, Bitcoin return accounts, Stablecoin growth accounts and bans supported by ether (ETH) – a basic wealth management tool box, according to DI Bartolomeo. Loans also provide a tax means for obtaining liquidity. Customers include individuals who were high in net that were early in Bitcoin, companies and funds. LEDN has issued $ 9 billion in loans since its creation.
Although it was based in Canada, LEDN was one of the first ready -to -provide services in Spanish, which allowed the company to establish a market in countries like Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Spain while other lenders – Blockfi, Voyager, Celsius, Genesis – pushed the American market. When these lenders were destroyed in 2022, LEDN was one of the only companies that remain standing, and it grew up in the United States.
Now, with large banks that wade, Di Bartolomeo thinks that the pie is about to become much larger, and that LEDN is well positioned to have a ribbon.
“LEDN will have a seat at the table, no matter how it shakes, if we continue to do our job, and that’s what fascinates me very. What is the size of the seat – you know, the table will be huge, and there will be tons of food. As long as we are in the room, we will be happy.”
