Crypto Curious Podcast: Can Bitcoin Buy You a Home?
In this episode of the Crypto Curious Podcast, James Coombes, Chief Commercial Officer at Block Earner, joins Blake Cassidy and Tracey Plowman to unpack how crypto-backed loans are evolving in Australia, including Bitcoin-backed home loans and borrowing AUD against crypto instead of selling it.
Crypto-backed loans may be used for personal or business purposes. Common uses can include:
- Business working capital
- Equipment or inventory
- Commercial opportunities
- Major personal expenses
- Refinancing eligible debts
- Property deposits or renovations
Borrowers remain exposed to movements in the value of the cryptocurrency used as security. This means they may benefit if its price increases, but they also remain exposed to losses if its price falls. Learn about Crypto-Backed Loans.
The conversation goes behind the scenes at Block Earner to explore how its Bitcoin-Backed Home Loan works, what the team learnt while securing an Australian Credit Licence, and Australia’s evolving crypto lending landscape. It’s a practical discussion for Australians and Australian businesses exploring Bitcoin-backed loans, business loans, and home loans, using eligible crypto as security to access AUD.
