Coinbase launched USDC loans for UK users backed by BTC, ETH and cbETH, expanding its borrowing product as Britain moves toward a crypto regulatory regime.<\/p>\n

Crypto exchange Coinbase has rolled out crypto-backed USDC loans for users in the United Kingdom, allowing users to borrow USDC against Bitcoin, Ether and Coinbase Wrapped Staked Ether (cbETH). The loans are issued through Morpho, a lending protocol on Base.<\/p>\n

The exchange said there is no fixed repayment schedule, but borrowers face liquidation risk if the loan-to-value ratio exceeds specific thresholds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
