Ledn Shakes Up Crypto Wealth Management with New Private Client Division
Crypto's elite just got a red carpet.
Ledn—the institutional-grade digital asset platform—unveils its private wealth arm today, targeting high-net-worth individuals and family offices hungry for yield beyond traditional finance's 2% graveyard.
No more jury-rigged solutions: The division offers white-glove custody, tax optimization, and bespoke lending strategies for Bitcoin and stablecoin portfolios. Because nothing says 'hedge against inflation' like collateralized crypto loans at 8% APY while banks nickel-and-dime savers.
Timing? Impeccable. With Bitcoin hovering near all-time highs and Wall Street still trying to mint its own ETF versions of digital gold, Ledn's move captures the institutional FOMO wave—before BlackRock figures out how to charge 2% for the same service.
$2.4 Billion in Loans Processed in 2024
Ledn says that in the second quarter of 2025, it originated $329 million in BTC-backed loans for retail customers. This is up from $304 million recorded in the first quarter.
Last year, the company reported statistics for Q1 2024, saying it had surpassed all previous quarters since its inception in 2018. It facilitated over $690 million in loans, with $584 million going to institutional clients and $106 million to retail investors.
Then, in Q3 2024, Ledn managed loan transactions of over $506 million. Up to that point, for 2024 year-to-date, it processed $1.67 billion. In the latest press release, the company says it processed a record $2.4 billion in loans in 2024.
Bitcoin isn’t just a HODL game.
It’s collateral.
It’s income.
It’s leverage.

Meanwhile, the launch of the Private Wealth program comes as institutional interest in Bitcoin-backed lending surges.
is looking into crypto-collateralized loans. This is a milestone for the sector. That said, Ledn says that it is ahead of traditional institutions. It has already developed the custody, risk management, and liquidation infrastructure to support BTC-backed credit at scale, it states.
Moreover, crypto-native investors are increasingly adopting “a version of theplaybook: hold BTC, borrow against it, and deploy capital into yield-bearing or growth strategies while preserving upside exposure.”
According to Adam Reeds, co-founder and CEO at Ledn, Private Wealth clients “entrust us with significant portions of their digital assets.”
Therefore, the newly launched program “formalizes our commitment to these valued relationships while creating clear pathways for more clients to access premium services as they grow their holdings,” Reeds concludes.
