A Canadian crypto lending project Ledn is set to offer DAI Loans to its customers with Bitcoin as collateral.
The company who offers Bitcoin-backed fiat loans announced it had debuted the dollar-pegged DAI stablecoin loans by connecting bitcoin with Ethereum's Defi blockchain.


This is to promote the use of cryptocurrency across the Canadian and Latin American region. Just by locking up your BTC customers are allowed to request and receive loans in DAI.


Decentralized finance (DEFI) systems had been up and running with huge prospects of wide adoption, mostly in the 3rd worlds where there are banking system dysfunctions. Just like in Africa several countries in Latin and South American regions are seeing deep economic woes and this had led to the major financial crisis ever witnessed in times past. 


Just over the weekend, the Argentinian government and the central bank had lowered the dollar buying limit from $10,000 to just $200. These situations are mostly to the advantage of cryptocurrency.


Ledn also works as a utility for Hodlers of bitcoin who will want to exchange their coins for goods and services.

Nadia Alvarez, Head of Business for MakerDAO in Latin America, accordingly said;

“We know BTC hodlers don’t want to sell their BTC, but they need liquidity, for their daily expenses. That is why we think this is relevant to Latin America.”

Mauricio Di Bartolomeo co-founder of Ledn believes that the DAI loans will complement and provide a gateway for the community to understand and appreciate the De-Fi world, 

he is reported to have said; “We expect stable coin adoption to increase in the region because they solve important problems for users.”

Ledn is the first Canadian company to offer bitcoin-backed loans in November Last year and had added other options including a crypto exchange.
