Coinbase has launched crypto-backed USDC loans for UK users, powered by the Morpho protocol on Base. The feature lets users borrow USDC against BTC, ETH, and cbETH, with limits up to $5M for Bitcoin and $1M for Ethereum. Loans have flexible repayment with no fixed schedules, but require monitoring of loan-to-value ratios to avoid liquidation risk. The move expands Coinbase’s 2025 US rollout, blending DeFi infrastructure with regulated access, aiming to boost liquidity while highlighting volatility and collateral risks.
