[Lugano, June 18, 2025] – Debifi, the premier platform for non-custodial Bitcoin-backed lending, has officially exited its beta phase and launched into full production. This strategic move significantly enhances global accessibility to Bitcoin-backed loans for institutions and individual users, powered by advanced mobile solutions and innovative products.
Why This Launch Matters
Debifi’s exit from beta marks a strong validation of its non-custodial lending infrastructure. Operating with limited capacity during the beta phase, the platform saw over $20 million worth of loans originated by third-party institutional lenders over a 12-month period. What began with just two lenders has expanded to a network of over 30 institutions – including Berglinde and STOKR – with 3 to 5 new institutional lenders joining the platform each month.
With loan application volume on the platform growing between 50 -100%, Debifi is now targeting a 15 – 20x increase in lending activity over the next year.
Revolutionizing Bitcoin Lending
The official release of Debifi’s iOS and Android mobile applications significantly enhances platform accessibility and user experience. The updated iOS app introduces cutting-edge features such as TAPSIGNER integration, a comprehensive public offers list, streamlined KYC processes, an informative Explore tab, intuitive in-app filters, and a refreshed user interface designed for seamless interaction.
Debifi Cards Enters Closed Beta
In a major product milestone, Debifi has launched a closed beta of its new Debifi Cards – bringing Bitcoin-backed microlending to everyday users. The cards offer small, flexible credit lines without compromising Bitcoin custody, expanding the practical use of Bitcoin as collateral.
Verified Security
Debifi upholds a rigorous commitment to security and transparency, having successfully completed three independent security audits including the latest by a leading blockchain security firm, Certik. The platform’s architecture is built on multisig escrow technology and follows a strict no-rehypothecation policy, ensuring client assets remain secure and verifiable at all times.
Advisory Council Expansion
As part of its institutional growth strategy, Debifi is proud to welcome Willy Woo, one of the most respected macro and on-chain Bitcoin analysts, to its Advisory Council. Woo joins Preston Pysh, a prominent Bitcoin educator and co-founder of The Investor’s Podcast Network. Together, they bring unparalleled market insight, macro perspective, and long-term vision to support Debifi’s mission of making Bitcoin the premier collateral asset in global credit markets.
Comments from Leadership and Partners
Debifi has signed two strategic partnership agreements – with The Bitcoin Adviser and Finpeers – to expand into new markets.
Max Kei, CEO of Debifi: “The last 12 months were a controlled rollout phase, proving the model with minimal tooling and just two lenders. Exiting beta with over $20 million in loans issued shows real demand. Now, with global scale, full mobile support, and institutional capital, we’re building the gold standard for Bitcoin-backed lending.”
Peter Dunworth, CEO of The Bitcoin Adviser:
“Access liquidity without giving up your Bitcoin or compromising your custody. Debifi delivers smart lending solutions for long-term Bitcoin holders – Bitcoin-backed loans aligned with your estate and wealth preservation strategy. Self-custody meets financial flexibility, powered by Debifi and advised by The Bitcoin Adviser.”
Finpeers CEO Sander Andersen: “At Finpeers, we see strong and growing interest from family offices in Bitcoin-related strategies – particularly those that combine yield with downside protection. Our partnership with Debifi enables us to provide access to overcollateralized Bitcoin-backed loans, offering an attractive entry point for investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin without holding it directly. This structure creates an opportunity to generate fiat returns through a conservative, well-collateralized framework – bridging traditional capital with the Bitcoin ecosystem.”
Strategic Goals
Product Innovation: Expand the suite of Bitcoin-backed credit products, including the Debifi Cards and enhanced mobile capabilities, to meet diverse market needs.
Global Expansion: Strengthen Debifi’s international presence by increasing institutional partnerships and extending reach into new markets with compliant and user-friendly solutions.
Institutional Onboarding: Accelerate adoption by financial institutions through robust infrastructure, compliance assurance, and strategic collaborations.
Education and Advocacy: Actively promote Bitcoin’s potential as the ultimate collateral asset, enhancing market education through targeted initiatives and thought leadership.
