Coinbase Unlocks Liquidity on XRP, Cardano and Dogecoin
Coinbase is expanding its lending service by now allowing users to use XRP, ADA and DOGE as collateral to borrow USDC. The concept is simple: obtain immediate liquidity without selling your tokens, thus avoiding a taxable event and maintaining exposure to a potential bull run. The $100,000 borrowing cap clearly targets intermediate investors and smaller whales.
In a market dominated by volatility, this solution strengthens the HODL strategy. Rather than liquidating positions during a temporary correction, users can pledge their assets and weather the turbulence without losing their long-term exposure. This mechanically reduces selling pressure, a potentially bullish factor if demand remains strong.
The technical infrastructure relies on Morpho, a DeFi lending protocol integrated via vaults. This alliance creates a strategic bridge between CeFi and DeFi, offering greater transparency, better capital allocation and more competitive borrowing conditions than traditional solutions.

While the mechanism is attractive, it carries inherent risks related to the loan-to-value ratio (LTV). In case of a brutal market crash, the decline in collateral value can trigger automatic liquidation via smart contracts. Borrowing against volatile assets therefore requires rigorous leverage management.
However, using USDC as the borrowed asset limits the risk associated with the debt itself, since it remains pegged to the dollar. For tokens like Dogecoin, often perceived as speculative, this functionality represents a form of financial legitimization by transforming them into productive assets.
In the medium term, if investors favor borrowing over selling, the circulating supply could contract, fostering a bullish environment. The key question remains: will this innovation be enough to propel XRP, ADA or DOGE to a new ATH, or will it primarily serve as a tactical tool in a still fragile market?
