Sber Issues First Cryptocurrency-Backed Loan

RBK-crypto2025-12-26 tarihinde yayınlandı2025-12-26 tarihinde güncellendi

Özet

Sberbank has conducted a pilot transaction by issuing a loan to the Russian mining company "Intellion," using the miner's own cryptocurrency as collateral. The bank utilized its proprietary cryptocurrency storage solution, which incorporates the "Rutoken" hardware system. Sberbank estimates that such a product will be relevant not only for miners but also for any companies holding crypto assets. Earlier, Anatoly Popov, Deputy Chairman of Sberbank's Management Board, stated in an interview that the bank already offers clients structured bonds and digital financial assets (DFAs) with exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and baskets of crypto assets. The bank is testing DeFi instruments and supports the gradual legalization of cryptocurrencies within the Russian regulatory framework. A similar practice is emerging in the United States. In October, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan Chase plans to allow institutional clients to use Bitcoin and Ethereum directly as loan collateral, with the cryptocurrencies held by a third-party custodian. This new service expands on the bank's existing practice of accepting shares of crypto ETFs as collateral. Furthermore, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan plans to begin offering cryptocurrency trading to its institutional clients, a move attributed to growing client interest following regulatory changes in the U.S.

Sberbank has conducted a pilot deal to provide a loan to the Russian mining company "Intellion," according to the bank's website. The loan was secured by cryptocurrency mined by the company itself, the credit institution stated.

In the transaction, Sber used its own development for storing cryptocurrency, utilizing the "Rutoken" hardware solution.

According to the bank's assessment, such a product will be relevant not only for miners but also for any companies that own crypto assets.

Earlier, Anatoly Popov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Sberbank, stated in an interview with "RBC-Crypto" that the bank already offers clients structured bonds and digital financial assets (DFAs) with investments in Bitcoin, Ether, and baskets of crypto assets, is testing DeFi tools, and supports the gradual legalization of cryptocurrencies within the Russian legal framework.

A similar practice is emerging simultaneously on the American market. In October, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that the largest U.S. bank, JPMorgan Chase, plans to allow institutional clients to use Bitcoin and Ethereum directly as collateral for loans. The cryptocurrencies will be held by a third-party custodian company. The new service expands the bank's existing practice: in June, JPMorgan began accepting shares of cryptocurrency ETFs as collateral.

Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan plans to begin offering cryptocurrency trading to its institutional clients. The publication's sources linked this to the growing interest from the bank's clients following regulatory developments in the U.S.

The Cost of an 11.5% Annualized Return: Will MicroStrategy's STRC Face a Moment of Reckoning?

This article analyzes the potential risks associated with MicroStrategy's (MSTR) use of structured financial products like STRC to leverage its BTC exposure. While these tools have enabled impressive returns (e.g., 11.5% annualized) and fueled significant capital inflows ($13.5B outstanding), they also create substantial annual dividend obligations (~$400M). The author argues that this structure, while effective in a bull market, could become a liability if BTC price stagnates or declines. The core risk is a potential negative feedback loop: the growing dividend burden from continued STRC issuance may eventually outweigh the benefits of increased BTC holdings. To meet these obligations, MicroStrategy might need to use new issuance proceeds for dividends instead of buying more BTC, which could disappoint equity investors. If the market capitalization (mNAV) falls below the value of its BTC holdings, the company could be forced to sell BTC instead of issuing new shares, potentially triggering a panic. The author estimates a potential inflection point in 6 months, where annual dividend costs reach $3-4B. At that stage, CEO Michael Saylor might face a difficult choice: sell BTC to meet obligations or sacrifice the credibility of the preferred shares by halting dividends. The article concludes that this financial engineering, while powerful, could ultimately "backfire" on MicroStrategy if market conditions turn.

An Opening For Ripple: Why XRP Is Set To Dominate This Crypto Sector

Ripple's XRP is positioned as a key asset poised to drive the next wave of transformation in the crypto sector, particularly in decentralized finance (DeFi). According to XRP Ledger validator Vet, XRP could challenge traditional finance (TradFi) by addressing structural limitations like slow settlement times, high transaction costs, and restricted cross-border accessibility. Vet emphasizes XRP's superior protocol design and high-value use cases, such as cross-border payments and liquidity provisioning, which make it ideal for real-world financial applications. However, Flare Network co-founder Hugo Philion criticized these claims as premature, arguing that protocol superiority should be proven at scale under real-world conditions. Vet defended his stance, highlighting XRP's risk-minimized design and pointing to the upcoming XLS-66 upgrade as evidence of its structural advantages.

Bitcoin Has Likely Found Bottom—3 Indicators Make $100,000 Seem Much Nearer

Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of having bottomed out and may be poised for a rally toward $100,000, according to analyst Ali Martinez. He cites three key indicators supporting this outlook. First, the Sharpe Ratio rebounded from -43 to around 20.35, indicating reduced market volatility and improved risk-adjusted conditions. Second, the Percentage Realized Cap fell below 7%, suggesting low retail activity and a market dominated by long-term holders—a historical bottom signal. Third, the Inter-exchange Flow Pulse shows BTC moving toward derivatives exchanges, indicating growing trader confidence and leveraged long interest. Martinez identifies $73,700 as a critical support level. Holding above it could push BTC toward $96,000, while a break below may lead to a decline toward $55,000.

PEPE’s TCT Model Distribution Predicts The Top Of The Rally

Crypto analyst The Composite Trader predicts that PEPE could rally to $0.004 based on its TCT model distribution, though it may drop to $0.0038 afterward. He notes that PEPE may have formed a "naked low," indicating weak accumulation and a potential setup for bearish reversals. While not a guaranteed scenario, he is monitoring lower timeframes for confirmation before taking positions. Another analyst, Sweep, suggests PEPE is days away from a major upward move, with signs of a market bottom. Despite a recent 3% drop to ~$0.000003764, whale activity—including a $3 million PEPE withdrawal from Coinbase—hints at accumulation ahead of a potential rally. Broader crypto market optimism, fueled by possible de-escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions, may also support meme coins.

XRP Co-Creator Arthur Britto Is Real, David Schwartz Says In Rare Comments

David Schwartz, Ripple's Chief Technology Officer, has publicly confirmed that Arthur Britto, the elusive co-creator of the XRP Ledger, is a real and highly private individual, not a myth or pseudonym. In detailed comments, Schwartz described Britto as a key architect whose ideas were fundamental to core XRP Ledger mechanics like its exchange functionality and auto-bridging. He emphasized Britto's extreme value for privacy, noting he has attended events anonymously and was even upset about a photo showing the back of his head. Schwartz compared Britto's unique intelligence to Mozart's, stating he arrives at brilliant solutions intuitively, without needing to verbalize the intermediate logic, unlike Schwartz's own step-by-step reasoning. Despite his absence from public life, Britto is confirmed to be "doing really well." At the time of reporting, XRP was trading at $1.4228.
