BounceBit Introduces Bitcoin as the Base Yield Asset for Restaking Economies
Most restaking systems today rely on ETH and its LSTs as base assets. BounceBit flips this by using native BTC as the security and economic foundation for modular DeFi systems.
Why this matters: → BTC has the deepest liquidity and strongest security guarantees
→ BounceBit aligns validator economics with native BTC collateral
→ It enables a new yield-bearing asset class: restaked BTC
For professional DeFi builders, this opens a high-leverage environment: • App-specific rollups can derive security from BTC staking sets
• Validators can offer restaking-as-a-service models for BTC holders
• New token standards around BTC restaking (like rBTC) can emerge with built-in composability
The BTC layer isn’t just "integrated" here — it’s upstream to the network’s capital flows. BounceBit treats Bitcoin as a productive primitive, something never fully realized before.
It’s not just about building “on Bitcoin.” It’s about extending Bitcoin’s economic mass into a restaking-secured modular future.
That’s a structural innovation — not a narrative one.
