Large cryptocurrencies were mixed during U.S. morning trading on Thursday, with Solana seeing the biggest move, dropping 4.32% to $251.10. Bitcoin led the increases with a 0.91% climb to $105,028.00.

Furthermore, instead of issuing these loans on a blockchain even remotely related to Bitcoin (such as Bitcoin sidechains or Bitcoin L2s), Coinbase is issuing them through Morpho Labs, a DeFi platform best described as an AAVE competitor. While Morpho is a well-established platform—and I don’t doubt its security—it has no connection to Bitcoin.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong addresses Solana transaction challenges, outlining plans for tier-1 support to boost SOL accessibility alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum on the platform.

Coinbase, in partnership with Morpho Labs, has launched a Bitcoin-backed loan service, allowing U.S. users to borrow up to $100,000 in USD Coin (USDC) using their Bitcoin as collateral.

Coinbase's setup caps each borrow at $100,000 in USDC. To borrow that much money customers will need to post more than that amount of bitcoin. Morpho will start liquidating the collateral if the loan-to-value ratio flies too close to the sun.
