Gate News message, April 27 — Fintech startup Aven has launched the Aven Bitcoin Visa Card, offering a bitcoin-backed line of credit of up to $1 million with fixed-rate, fixed-term loans at 7.99% APR for up to 10 years.
This marks what Aven calls “a first for bitcoin lending,” as the product features significantly longer terms and lower rates compared to industry standards. According to an April 2026 analysis by Aven of leading bitcoin-backed loan providers, typical bitcoin-backed loans carry APRs of 10% or more with terms limited to 12 months.
The card is issued by Coastal Community Bank, a Washington state-chartered institution. It carries no annual or origination fees and offers unlimited 2% cash back on purchases. Bitcoin collateral will be deposited with BitGo for custody.
Aven, founded in 2019, operates a machine-banking platform focused on asset-backed credit cards. The company claims to reduce interest rates by up to 50% compared to traditional credit products and has saved users $300 million in interest payments since its inception.
