Las Vegas, NV (PinionNewswire) — Lantern Finance, Inc. today announced a significant reduction in its Bitcoin-backed loan rate, lowering the annual interest rate from 13% to 8% for one-year loans. Combined with a 2% upfront fee, this rate represents the lowest available for Bitcoin-backed loans in the United States backed by an institutional-grade custody solution. The new rate is effective immediately.

The reduction makes Lantern’s Bitcoin-backed loans among the most accessible in the market allowing U.S. crypto holders to unlock liquidity against their Bitcoin holdings without selling, avoiding taxable events, and preserving long-term upside at a cost that has historically been out of reach for most borrowers.

Unlike other lenders in the market who offer tiered pricing based on loan size, Lantern’s 8% rate is available to every borrower regardless of how much they borrow. Whether you’re taking out $1,000 or $1,000,000 you get the same best-in-class rate with no volume minimums, no size-based tiers, no fine print.

Lantern’s Bitcoin loans are fully custodied through BitGo, one of the most trusted names in digital asset security, with $250 million in insurance coverage and assets held in cold storage. Borrowers benefit from institutional-grade protection that most competing lenders cannot match without paying the premium that has traditionally come with it.

“Our borrowers deserve the best of both worlds real protection for their assets and a rate that doesn’t eat into their returns,” said Prince Jindal, Co-Founder of Lantern Finance. “Dropping to 8 percent is a statement: we believe crypto-backed lending should be affordable and safe, not a tradeoff between the two. This is the rate the market has been waiting for.”

“Security has always been our foundation, and now we’re making it the most cost-competitive option as well,” said Jung Won Kim, Co-Founder of Lantern Finance. “With BitGo’s custody infrastructure behind every loan, we’re proud to offer U.S. borrowers a product that sets a new standard for what a Bitcoin-backed loan should look like.”

Lantern Finance continues to expand its crypto-backed lending platform across the United States, supporting 12 digital assets and offering borrowers a seamless, fully regulated path to liquidity. The company’s conservative risk model — including a 50% maximum LTV, 72-hour grace periods, and human oversight during market stress — has kept its borrowers protected through multiple volatile market events.

Coinbase Slams ‘Patchwork’ State Crypto Laws, Calls for Federal Preemption

The post Coinbase Slams ‘Patchwork’ State Crypto Laws, Calls for Federal Preemption appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Coinbase has filed a letter with the DOJ urging federal preemption of state crypto laws, citing Oregon’s securities suit, New York’s ETH stance, and staking bans. Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal called state actions “government run amok,” warning that patchwork enforcement “slows innovation and harms consumers.” A legal expert told Decrypt that states risk violating interstate commerce rules and due process, and DOJ support for preemption may mark a potential turning point. Coinbase has gone on the offensive against state regulators, petitioning the Department of Justice that a patchwork of lawsuits and licensing schemes is tearing America’s crypto market apart. “When Oregon can sue us for services that are legal under federal law, something’s broken,” Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal tweeted on Tuesday. “This isn’t federalism—this is government run amok.” When Oregon can sue us for services that are legal under federal law, something’s broken. This isn’t federalism–this is government run amok. We just sent a letter to @TheJusticeDept urging federal action on crypto market structure to remedy this. 1/3 — paulgrewal.eth (@iampaulgrewal) September 16, 2025 Coinbase’s filing says that states are “expansively interpreting their securities laws in ways that undermine federal law” and violate the dormant Commerce Clause by projecting regulatory preferences beyond state borders. “The current patchwork of state laws isn’t just inefficient – it slows innovation and harms consumers” and demands “federal action on crypto market structure,” Grewal said.  States vs. Coinbase It pointed to Oregon’s securities lawsuit against the exchange, New York’s bid to classify Ethereum as a security, and cease-and-desist orders on staking as proof that rogue states are trying to resurrect the SEC’s discredited “regulation by enforcement” playbook. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield sued Coinbase in April for promoting unregistered securities, and in July asked a federal judge to return the…

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
