Coinbase Introduces Bitcoin-Backed Loans for US Customers

 Coinbase has launched a new service allowing US customers to borrow up to $100,000 in USDC, using Bitcoin as collateral. This new offering, in collaboration with Morpho, aims to provide an alternative to traditional credit-based loans, enabling users to access liquidity without selling their crypto assets.

Service Highlights Customers can instantly borrow USDC at competitive interest rates with flexible repayment terms. These loans are powered by Morpho, an open-source lending protocol on Coinbase's Base network. Initially, Bitcoin will serve as collateral, with plans to add more assets in the future.

By integrating Morpho's lending capabilities into its app, Coinbase seeks to simplify the loan process, removing technical barriers that have previously deterred users. Unlike traditional loans that rely on credit scores, these crypto-backed loans require borrowers to pledge an amount of Bitcoin greater than the loan value. If the collateral value decreases, Morpho's protocol will automatically liquidate assets to cover the loan.

Loan Process To access the loan, users pledge Bitcoin, which is then converted to Coinbase's wrapped bitcoin (cbBTC). This cbBTC is sent to Morpho, where the USDC loan is disbursed. Loans come with flexible repayment terms and competitive interest rates, allowing borrowers to manage their loans directly through the Coinbase app. Real-time updates and liquidation warnings keep users informed, ensuring they stay on top of their loan status.

Accessing Bitcoin-Backed Loans The introduction of Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC) in September has allowed customers to move and use their Bitcoin on-chain. With this new service, customers can now tap into the benefits of cbBTC without leaving the Coinbase platform.

Coinbase views this service as a step towards reshaping personal finance by leveraging decentralized finance (DeFi) to offer a transparent and user-friendly alternative to traditional banking.

iPhone SE 2025: Apple’s Budget Phone Enters a New Era

Apple is set to shake up its affordable iPhone lineup with a brand-new iPhone SE, expected to be announced as early as next week. If the rumors are true, this will be the most significant update the SE series has ever seen—bringing Face ID, a larger display, and a sleek, modern design while finally saying goodbye to the iconic home button. Here’s everything we know so far. A Radical Redesign: No More Home Button Since its debut in 2016, the iPhone SE has held onto a familiar design, retaining the classic home button and thick bezels. However, that’s about to change. Apple is reportedly ditching the home button for good, replacing it with Face ID and a notched display similar to the iPhone 14. While some hoped for the newer Dynamic Island design, Apple appears to be keeping the SE slightly behind the curve, as it has in previous generations. A leaked video from Majin Bu shows what appears to be a non-functional dummy unit of the upcoming SE, likely used by case manufacturers. The foo...
