Bitcoin market news: A new report by crypto lender Ledn estimates the Bitcoin collateral lending market could grow from $3 billion to $1 trillion over the next 10 years. The study, based on a survey of 1,244 U.S. and Australian crypto holders, found that 88% are interested in crypto-backed loans, yet only 14% are active users. Crypto market update: The data reveals significant untapped demand in the lending sector.

PANews, May 24: According to CoinDesk, Ledn’s latest report indicates that the global Bitcoin collateralized lending market could surge from its current size of approximately $3 billion to $1 trillion over the next decade, becoming a vast, underexplored potential market within the crypto industry. The report cites research by Protocol Theory, which surveyed 1,244 crypto asset holders in the United States and Australia, finding that about 88% of respondents are willing to use crypto-backed loans or credit products, yet only 14% currently do so. Ledn describes this gap as a “6:1 interest-to-adoption disconnect.” Analysts suggest this reflects a large number of crypto holders who wish to retain their assets while accessing liquidity, but the industry’s trust infrastructure remains far from mature.
