Coinbase $COIN is bringing back Bitcoin-backed loans for U.S. customers, excluding New York.
Users can borrow against their Bitcoin without selling, marking a significant step into decentralized finance (DeFi).
This time, Coinbase isn’t acting as the lender. The loans are powered by Morpho, a DeFi protocol with $3.7B in deposits. Borrowed funds are secured by converting BTC into Coinbase's cbBTC, a DeFi-compatible token.
The move comes after Coinbase shut down a similar program in 2023 due to SEC scrutiny and reduced demand. Unlike previous crypto lending platforms that collapsed during the 2022 crypto winter, Coinbase says this program ensures user custody and leverages DeFi principles like overcollateralization to manage risks.
While users gain access to DeFi lending without the complexity, they still bear the risks of liquidation and variable interest rates. With billions in BTC on Coinbase, this could inject significant liquidity into the DeFi ecosystem.

If you're planning on coming to our Proof of Rakija event during Devcon (which you should, because it's the best side event during Devcon!), here are a few things I want you to know and learn in advance:
1. Rakija is not a shot!
It's not a weak person's drink like whiskey or vodka. Rakija is the real deal! If not drunk responsibly, it can become very dangerous, very quickly. Like civil war dangerous (don't ask us how we know).
Also, compared to other potato-based and cereal-based alcoholic drinks, rakija is incredibly delicious because it's made from high-quality fruits like plums, apricots, grapes, pears and even HONEY. So enjoy it and sip it slowly.
2. Learn how to say "Gde je ta rakija, brate."
It means "Where is that rakija, brother?"
This should be the first thing you shout as loudly as you can when you arrive at the event. Before shaking hands with friends, before introducing yourself, before literally everything.
3. All rakijas are great, but plum rakija is the best
There's no bad rakija; they're all simply wonderful, whether made from plums, apricots, grapes, or other fruits.
Croatian tribe will probably try to give you rakijas made from herbs, roses, maybe even hazelnut. But plum rakija is the king among them all!
4. Learn how to say "Šta je ovo u pičku materinu???"
It roughly translates to "What the fuck is this", but it's more poetically. And don't even try to translate the "u pičku materinu" part; it's impossible.
So, if our frens from the Bulgarian tribe try to give you mastika instead of rakija, just tell them, "Šta je ovo u pičku materinu!" because it's a rug and don't drink it.
5. Rakija is about connecting people
Yes, rakija tastes good. Yes, it's better than ayahuasca for introspection. Yes, it's a silver-bullet medicine that cures everything.
But first and foremost, rakija is truly about connecting people!
Once you share enough rakija with someone for your tongue to get numb, you're frens forever!
So, see you at Proof of Rakija, frens 🫡
