Debifi Named Second Safest Bitcoin-Backed Lending Platform Globally by Zone21.com

PRESS RELEASE.

[Lugano, July 25, 2025] – Debifi, the non-custodial provider of Bitcoin-backed loans, has been ranked the second safest service of its kind worldwide, according to new research from Zone21.com, a collective of Bitcoin engineers and researchers applying a self-custody-first lens to lending platform security. The recognition comes less than a month after Debifi exited beta, validating the platform’s architecture and security posture as it opens to global institutional clients.

Why This Matters

Zone21’s rigorous methodology assessed counterparty risk, collateral protection, custody model, and rehypothecation policies. Debifi’s multisig escrow system and strict no-rehypothecation stance earned it the highest technical safety score in the study, ranking second overall behind one long-standing market incumbent.

Debifi’s security-first design, combined with APRs starting at just 9%, positions the platform as the most competitive offering among top-tier lenders. Unlike traditional custodial models, Debifi never takes possession of users’ Bitcoin, ensuring collateral remains verifiable and under user control.

Institutional Confidence

During its 12-month beta, Debifi facilitated over $20 million in loan volume through a growing network of third-party institutional lenders. With over 30 institutional partners onboarded and several joining monthly, the platform is now accelerating toward broader adoption.

Max Kei, CEO of Debifi, commented: “This recognition by Zone21 underscores what we’ve quietly built: a truly secure, scalable lending architecture that doesn’t require users to relinquish custody. We’re not trying to be flashy. We’re trying to be credible-and we’re succeeding.”

Building a Safer Standard for Bitcoin Credit

Debifi’s infrastructure is designed for institutional scrutiny, with three independent security audits completed, including one by Certik. The recent introduction of its mobile applications – featuring TAPSIGNER support, real-time offer aggregation, and a streamlined onboarding flow-reflects the team’s commitment to accessibility without compromise.
