Zug, Switzerland, June 25th, 2025/Chainwire/--Gelato, the web3 developer cloud platform, together with Morpho, the decentralized lending protocol behind some of the most trusted lending infrastructure in Ethereum, today announced the launch of Embedded Crypto-Backed Loans. Zug, Switzerland, June 25th, 2025/Chainwire/-- Gelato Gelato Morpho Morpho The new partnership enables Wallets, Brokers, and Fintech Apps to allow their users to instantly borrow stablecoins, like USDC, using their crypto assets as collateral. The borrowing flow has a simple, Web2-like experience that is non-custodial and fully onchain. By combining Gelato’s Smart Wallet SDK with Morpho’s permissionless lending markets, the two teams offer a complete borrowing flow that platforms can securely integrate in days. Crypto-backed loans are fully non-custodial and onchain, governed entirely by smart contracts. Users can initiate loans in an onchain bank account powered by embedded wallet infrastructure, 7702-powered smart accounts, gasless transactions, and the ability to execute multiple transactions in a single click. Morpho, which Coinbase recently partnered with to enable similar BTC-backed loans, brings proven lending infrastructure with over $6.5 billion in total value locked. Gelato’s Smart Wallet SDK, used by companies such as Safe, Infinex, and Gnosis Pay, handles account abstraction, one-click onboarding, and gas sponsorship, enabling applications to deliver modern, web2-style user experiences. “We’re excited to see more platforms bring crypto-backed loans to users in a self-custodial way,” said Paul Frambot, CEO of Morpho Labs. “Morpho is built to be integrated, and Gelato makes it easy to deliver a seamless UX on top.” “We’re excited to see more platforms bring crypto-backed loans to users in a self-custodial way,” said Paul Frambot, CEO of Morpho Labs. “Morpho is built to be integrated, and Gelato makes it easy to deliver a seamless UX on top.” Embedded Crypto-Backed Loans are designed to meet the needs of both consumer and institutional users, offering a simple, intuitive interface while preserving the non-custodial guarantees that users and platforms increasingly expect.
