SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT: Thomas Wu, Chief Financial Officer at @hodlwithLedn, will speak at Crypto Finance Forum New York. Ledn provides Bitcoin-backed lending, allowing clients to access liquidity against their Bitcoin without selling it. In 2025, the company originated $1.4 billion in loans as demand for Bitcoin-secured credit continued to grow. Earlier this year, Ledn brought that loan book into the traditional capital markets, closing a $188 million securitization backed by its portfolio of Bitcoin-backed consumer loans. S&P assigned an investment-grade BBB- rating to the senior notes – its first-ever rating of a structured finance transaction backed by Bitcoin. The deal was more than twice oversubscribed, demonstrating institutional demand for exposure to Bitcoin-backed lending. Thomas will join our Finance Leaders’ Outlook panel, sharing his perspective on what it takes to bring a digital asset business into institutional capital markets – from risk management and financial controls to the reporting and infrastructure required as crypto-native businesses scale. 📅 22 September (09:00–17:40) 📍 Tribeca360, 10 Desbrosses Street, New York, NY 10013 🔗 Secure your spot: cryptofinanceforum.nyc/
