Crypto miners can now leverage Bitcoin-backed loans through M2โs partnership with NiceHash.
Abu Dhabi-based cryptocurrency exchange M2 has partnered with NiceHash, a cryptocurrency mining services provider, to introduce flexible lending solutions for miners. According to a press release shared with crypto.news on Tuesday, the initiative aims to help miners access liquidity without selling their Bitcoin (BTC) holdings.
Through this collaboration, M2 plans to offer loans in Tetherโs (USDT) stablecoin to crypto miners using BTC as collateral. The companies suggest that these loans could help miners scale operations, cover expenses, and manage cash flow more effectively.
โAt M2, we understand the challenges miners face in maintaining liquidity while preserving their Bitcoin investments. Our partnership with NiceHash represents a shared vision of empowering miners with smarter financial solutions that allow them to grow their businesses without sacrificing their Bitcoin holdings.โ
