您现在可以申请以加密货币为抵押的贷款。是的，这是可能的。
据报道，提供给 Coinbase 的贷款是该银行的第一笔比特币支持贷款。截至发稿时，金额和抵押品仍未知。
Coinbase 和高盛之间的合作为银行或法定货币和加密货币在经济中共存和繁荣的潜力打开了大门。
虽然其他平台也提供比特币支持的贷款，例如 Genesis Trading Fund 与 Signature Bank 和 Silvergate 的平台，但这是一个突破性的合作伙伴关系，因为高盛不是加密或区块链公司，实际上是一家大型传统金融机构。

然而，该公司早在 3 月份就已经通过不可交割的 BTC 期权或以现金支付给借款人的双边协议经历了 BTC 流程。该交易由 Galaxy Digital Holdings 发起，Galaxy Digital Holdings 是高盛前合伙人建立的著名加密金融服务之一。
谁会想到有一天你可以申请并获得由加密货币支持的贷款？
有趣的是，高盛可能已经观察到全球不同行业对加密支持贷款的需求不断上升，并希望在进入下一波大浪潮之前试水。他们也这样做了。
更重要的是，高盛在 4 月份批准了 Coinbase 的首笔 BTC 支持贷款后，引起了轰动。
现在，这两家公司已经合作推出了首个 BTC 支持的贷款，这将改变现在和未来银行贷款的方式。
事实上，高盛提供比特币支持的贷款是一种加速和促进全球采用加密货币的策略。
