In order to refill its capital reserves and strengthen its balance sheet, the Denver-based loan company just concluded a $64.4 million fundraising round, according to reports on February 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite these challenges, SALT Loan is adamant about overcoming them and reviving the cryptocurrency lending industry\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.

He continued by saying that the business has new features and products that will bring “transparency and optionality” to the lending industry.
