Brussels, Belgium, July 14 2025 – NGRAVE, maker of the EAL7-certified NGRAVE ZERO cold hardware wallet, announced a strategic partnership with Arch Lending, the crypto-backed loan provider trusted by BTC, ETH, and SOL holders worldwide. The collaboration allows users to instantly unlock liquidity from their cold-stored crypto, without selling and without ever compromising security.

Get cash, keep your crypto intact

Through a new “Loan” tab inside NGRAVE’s LIQUID app, NGRAVE customers can choose to sign up through a NGRAVE x Arch lending platform, choose loan terms powered by Arch’s automated peer-to-peer lending engine, and receive USDC or fiat in their NGRAVE wallet within 5 minutes. Smart-contract escrow ensures that funds remain under user control until repayment.

Xavier Hendrickx, CEO, NGRAVE
“Selling crypto to pay bills is yesterday’s solution. With Arch Lending, our community can tap liquidity without ever selling their assets.”

Alex Rodríguez, CEO, Arch Lending
“NGRAVE sets the gold standard for self-custody. Their security with Arch’s loan engine gives users the confidence to borrow without compromise.”
