Morpho runs 5 onchain markets we track for borrowing stablecoins against wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC and LBTC) across Ethereum and Base. It is a permissionless set of smart contracts, no application, no credit check, no custodian. Every rate below is variable and moves with pool utilization. Market data verified June 24, 2026.

About Morpho
Morpho is a DeFi lending protocol that operates isolated markets between a single collateral asset and a single loan asset. Each market has its own interest rate model, oracle, and liquidation parameters. Unlike pooled protocols, your cbBTC collateral in a standalone Morpho market is not lent to other borrowers.
Markets
Every Morpho market we track, sorted by lowest variable borrow rate. Click any market for collateral, LTV, liquidation, and audit detail. Rates are variable point-in-time snapshots.
5 markets
Collateral & rehypothecation
Accepted collateral across Morpho markets: cbBTC and LBTC. These are wrapped or tokenized Bitcoin, not native BTC. Rehypothecation: No. Markets are isolated, so deposited collateral is ring-fenced to its own market rather than reused.
This is an isolated Morpho market. Collateral is not re-lent.
Liquidation
Liquidation on Morpho is automatic and onchain. If your loan-to-value ratio crosses a market's liquidation threshold, the protocol sells part of your collateral to repay debt, without notice and without a human margin call. Liquidation is automated by third-party bots when LTV exceeds the liquidation threshold. No grace period. Liquidators repay part of the debt and receive a portion of your collateral at a discount.
Per-market liquidation thresholds and max LTV are listed in each market card above (for example, max LTV 86% with liquidation at 90% on the first market).
Audits & security
Audit status we recorded for Morpho: Audited (Cantina, Spearbit — multiple audits 2023-2025). An audit reduces but does not remove smart-contract risk. Permissionless protocols can still contain bugs or be exploited, and an exploit can put deposited collateral at risk. Treat audit status as one input, not a guarantee, and verify the current audit and bug-bounty posture on the protocol directly.
Supported wallets
You interact with Morpho from a self-custody wallet you control; we never ask you to connect a wallet here. Wallets recorded across these markets:
Frequently asked
What Bitcoin can I use as collateral on Morpho?
Across the Morpho markets we track you can post cbBTC and LBTC as collateral. These are wrapped or tokenized representations of Bitcoin that live on the underlying network, not native BTC. Each market is matched to a specific collateral token and stablecoin, so confirm the exact token on the protocol before depositing.
Are Morpho markets isolated or pooled?
The Morpho markets we track are isolated: each collateral and borrow pair is ring-fenced, and we did not record rehypothecation of deposited collateral. Always re-verify the current configuration on the protocol, since a protocol can add or change markets.
How are Morpho borrow rates set?
Every Morpho borrow rate is variable. Rates are determined algorithmically by each pool's utilization, the share of supplied liquidity that is currently borrowed, and they move continuously as borrowers enter and exit. The lowest variable rate we recorded across Morpho markets was 3.37%, a point-in-time snapshot, not a fixed or promotional rate. There is no fixed-rate option; the on-protocol interface shows the live rate.
How does liquidation work on Morpho?
Morpho liquidations are automatic and onchain. If your loan-to-value ratio crosses the market's liquidation threshold, because the borrowed balance grew with interest or the collateral's price fell, a portion of your collateral is sold by the protocol to repay debt, without notice and without recourse. There is no grace period or margin call from a human. Keep a buffer below the maximum LTV and monitor your position.
Which networks does Morpho operate on?
The Morpho markets we track run on Ethereum and Base. The network determines which wrapped-Bitcoin tokens are available, gas costs, and which wallets you can connect. Bridging Bitcoin to the right network and token is a prerequisite before you can borrow.
Is Morpho custodial?
No. Morpho is a permissionless set of smart contracts, not a custodian, broker, or regulated lender. Your collateral is held by the protocol's contracts onchain rather than by a company, and there is no application or credit check. That also means there is no counterparty to call if something goes wrong; the smart-contract risk is yours to assess.
DeFi lending protocols are permissionless smart contracts, not regulated entities. Rates are variable and change continuously with pool utilization; the rate shown is a point-in-time snapshot. Your Bitcoin collateral is held on-chain — by the protocol's smart contracts, not a custodian — and can be liquidated automatically if your loan-to-value ratio crosses a liquidation threshold, without notice and without recourse. Smart contracts can contain bugs or be exploited. Some protocols rehypothecate deposited collateral.
