Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, co-founder of Ledn, predicted that the Bitcoin-backed loan market could grow to $1 trillion within the next 5 to 10 years. According to The Block, he argued, "A single company alone cannot provide that much liquidity. By bundling BTC-backed loans into bonds and connecting them to the multi-trillion dollar asset-backed securities (ABS) market, institutional capital can be attracted." He then cited Ledn's recently issued bonds as an example, explaining, "To create a meaningful bond, a minimum size of $200 million and a rating are required, and our bond was the first BTC debt product to receive a rating from S&P Global." In this regard, the media reported, "By securing an investment-grade rating, which is the standard for allocating funds by pension funds and university endowments, a different inflow path for funds has been secured compared to BTC ETFs."
