How borrowing works

Choose how much to borrow

Borrow up to $5,000,000 USDC. How much you’re able to borrow depends on the amount of crypto you have available for collateral. Available in the U.S. to start, excluding New York State.

Receive your loan instantly

USDC will be deposited into your Coinbase account and the chosen amount of crypto will be moved onchain to Morpho as collateral.

Repay on your timeline

There are no repayment schedules or deadlines. Your loan to value (LTV) ratio must remain under 86% to avoid triggering an automatic liquidation and be charged a penalty fee.

More about Morpho

Morpho is an open market onchain lending protocol on Base, that has undergone substantial third party auditing over time. When you borrow a loan using Coinbase’s integration with Morpho, your BTC is converted to Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC) and transferred to a Morpho smart contract where it is held as collateral. Loans are sourced and managed permissionlessly on the Morpho protocol.

FAQs

What are Crypto-backed loans?

With a crypto-backed loan, you can borrow USDC using your crypto on Coinbase as collateral. Borrowing is enabled by the Morpho onchain lending protocol on Base. Coinbase provides an interface to access Morpho's protocol.

What is the borrow limit?

At launch, you can borrow up to 5,000,000 USDC against Bitcoin, and up to $1,000,000 USDC against Ethereum. Note that transfer limits are set on all Coinbase accounts as a financial safeguard to protect you and your account. Learn more.

How does collateralization work?

When you start the process of obtaining a loan through our integration with Morpho, you will need to create a smart wallet to transact onchain. For example, in the case of a bitcoin-backed loan, the BTC that you’re required to pledge as collateral will be withdrawn from your Coinbase account, converted to cbBTC, and transferred onchain into a Morpho smart contract.
.
In order to ensure healthy loans, if the outstanding amount of your loan (including accrued interest) reaches 86% of the market value of the collateral provided, the collateral will be liquidated to repay the loan and cover a penalty fee. After the required amount of collateral has been liquidated, the remaining BTC will be withdrawn from Morpho and deposited back into your Coinbase account. Be sure to monitor the status of your loan regularly, as Coinbase cannot prevent your collateral from being liquidated on Morpho.

Are there any Coinbase fees?

A one-time fee is charged each time you borrow—even when adding to an existing loan—and is applied to your principal. Interest will accrue on your original loan amount and the process fee grand total.

How do I repay my loan?

You can repay your crypto-backed loan at any time in full or in part. There are no due dates or minimum payments, but interest continues to accrue on your outstanding loan balance. Be sure to monitor loan health regularly to make sure your collateral does not get liquidated. See our Help Center for more details on how to repay your loan.

Where are crypto-backed loans available?

At launch, crypto-backed loans are available in the United States, (excluding NY), with plans to roll out to other markets. For the latest list of available regions, see our Help Center.
