In yet another landmark product update, SWFT Blockchain has launched SWFT Lending, a pledged collateral lending service. SWFT Blockchain users are now able to borrow up to 200,000 USD Tether (USDt) or 20 Bitcoin (BTC) in just a few seconds.
In order to borrow money, users have to access the lending page on the SWFT Blockchain app and select an amount of BTC or USDt to borrow and the time period they want to borrow it for. SWFT Blockchain will then calculate the interest rate and the pledge that the users will need to pay as collateral. Once the pledge is paid in either BTC or USDt, the money will be sent to the user’s SWFT Blockchain account.
Once users receive the loan, they are free to do as they wish with the money. They may use the loan to trade, take advantage of other financial services on on SWFT Blockchain, or withdraw it to other wallets. The only thing users are required to do is repay the loan before the loan period is over. They can always check how much time is left on their loan on the SWFT Lending page.

What’s the pledge?
The pledge is the amount users ‘pledge’ to us that serves as collateral in case they are unable to repay their loan. We are currently accepting BTC and USDt with a pledge rate of 70%. That means that if a user pledges 10 BTC at a pledge rate of 70%, they can borrow the USDt equivalent of 7 BTC.
What about interest?
The interest is charged in advance at a daily rate of 0.06%
The latest feature to be added to SWFT Blockchain will begin giving users more liquidity tools in the BTC/USDt market and will gradually expand to other markets. SWFT Lending is a testament to the increasingly diverse product offering included in the SWFT Blockchain wallet app and the team’s commitment to becoming the ultimate one-stop-shop for all your crypto needs.
You can now download the latest update of the SWFT Blockchain app on the App Store or Google Play and take advantage of SWFT loans and all other features like 0.1% fee swaps, decentralized swaps, SWFT Pay, SWFT Red Packets, and more!
