Bitcoin DeFi the new layer of innovation on BTC
Bitcoin DeFi is a narrative that is gaining momentum because it brings decentralized finance to the Bitcoin ecosystem using second-layer solutions to create financial applications without intermediaries. For years, Bitcoin was seen only as a store of value, but now, thanks to technologies like Lightning Network and protocols like Stacks, Rootstock, and Liquid, it is transforming into a platform that allows lending, exchanging, and generating yield without sacrificing the security of the world's strongest network. This movement is driven by the demand for financial products built on Bitcoin, avoiding risks present in other networks and leveraging its global liquidity. Tokens like STX, RIF, and LBTC stand out within this narrative because they enable smart contracts and the creation of decentralized applications on BTC. Bitcoin DeFi changes the game by opening new economic opportunities without compromising decentralization or censorship resistance, strengthening the real utility of Bitcoin.

Top Bitcoin Lightning Wallet Provider Leaves US Market
Wallet provider Lightning Wallet of Satoshi has removed its app from Apple and Google's US app stores, and the firm has clarified that it "will not serve US customers in the future."
The Wallet of Satoshi team did not specify any particular reason for the decision, stating that it understood the news was disappointing for US customers. The app is still available for download in other countries.
They reported that all existing users in the US, "can be assured that they have full access to their Bitcoin funds. You can withdraw them and transfer them to another wallet without problems."
In turn, they clarified that the decision was not made lightly, "our commitment to providing a secure, easy-to-use and globally compatible platform is unwavering. Our top priority is the security and interests of our clients and our company".
On the other hand, John Carvalho, CEO of Bitcoin software developer Synonym said in response, "Wallet of Satoshi has to comply with local regulations or laws in a way that it cannot, or will not."
The firm maintains the hope of returning to the country with future developments. "We are hopeful that future developments will allow us to review and possibly resume our operations in the US," he added.

🔮 Michael Saylor’s Bold Prediction: By 2035, Apple, Google & Nations Will Dominate Bitcoin’s Base Layer! 🌍📲
$BTC
MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor told BTC Sessions that Bitcoin’s base layer will evolve into an institutional settlement system — used primarily by mega banks, tech giants, and sovereign nations.
According to Saylor, everyday users won’t interact directly with the base chain. Instead, large players like Google, Apple, Microsoft, and banks like Citi, Bank of America, Bank of Japan, and Bank of China will settle billions of dollars worth of BTC transactions on-chain.
💬 “The biggest users of Bitcoin’s base layer will be Apple, Google, the U.S., the Bank of England, Bank of Russia, and others,” Saylor said.
Meanwhile, everyday crypto users will operate on Layer 2 and Layer 3 infrastructures.
• Layer 2 (like Lightning Network): Fast, scalable, supporting millions of apps and instant payments.
• Layer 3: Run by exchanges, fintechs, and platforms — handling billions of user transactions through custodial and semi-open systems.
Saylor envisions a tiered Bitcoin ecosystem, where direct access to the base layer is reserved for the financial elite — while everyone else interacts via high-speed, user-friendly layers above.
Is this the future of BTC? 🤔

K Wave Media, a South Korean company, plans to sell $500 million in shares to finance the purchase of Bitcoin, inspired by the Metaplanet model. Its goal is to accumulate BTC long-term, operate Lightning Network nodes, and invest in Bitcoin-native infrastructure to optimize returns. This reflects the growing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies in South Korea, in a context of an active crypto market and pro-crypto election promises, although Bitcoin's volatility remains a challenge.

South Korean media firm to raise $500M for Bitcoin treasury
South Korean entertainment company K Wave Media has entered into a securities purchase agreement worth up to $500 million to fund a Bitcoin-centric crypto treasury strategy.
According to a June 4 announcement, the firm said it reached a deal with Bitcoin Strategic Reserve KWM for the sale of ordinary shares. The deal includes the company’s sale of up to $500 million of ordinary shares to fund its Bitcoin treasury.
“By embedding BTC into our core strategy, we’re reinforcing our commitment to decentralization, agility, and future-facing value creation,“ said Ted Kim, co-interim CEO of K Wave Media.
The company said it aims to become the “Metaplanet of Korea,” which saw its stock soar after adopting a similar Bitcoin-focused strategy inspired by business intelligence company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy).
At the time of writing, K Wave Media’s stock was up 162% on Nasdaq, trading at $5.04.

Financing the Bitcoin treasury
The announcement noted that proceeds from the deal will be used to fund K Wave Media’s “Bitcoin-centric digital asset treasury strategy,” suggesting it may purchase other cryptocurrencies in addition to Bitcoin.
K Wave Media also intends to use the funds for mergers and acquisitions to expand its content and K-POP-related businesses. Still, Bitcoin is front and center of those plans:
“Under this initiative, K Wave will, subject to certain limitations, allocate a significant portion of the proceeds received from the sale of any shares under the facility to the purchasing, long-term holding, and yield optimization of Bitcoin.“
The company also plans to operate Bitcoin Lightning Network nodes and invest in infrastructure that facilitates on-chain transaction rewards and decentralization.
K Wave Media is the latest in a growing list of public companies embracing Bitcoin as a corporate reserve asset, a trend that began with MicroStrategy in 2020 and has since gained traction among firms in Asia, including Metaplanet, according to data from Bitcoin Treasuries.

Apple Greenlights First iOS Game with Native Bitcoin Payments via Lightning
In a groundbreaking move, Apple has given the green light to SaruTobi, the first iOS game to integrate native Bitcoin microtransactions using the Lightning Network. This decision signals a potential shift in Apple’s traditionally restrictive stance on alternative payment systems—a change likely influenced by tightening regulations like the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) and legal battles such as Epic v. Apple.
Developed by ZBD, SaruTobi—a game originally launched in 2013 but later pulled from the App Store for its Bitcoin integration—has made a triumphant return. This time, it leverages Lightning’s instant, low-cost transactions to enable real-money in-game purchases without the usual App Store restrictions. Players can now spend tiny amounts (as low as a few cents) to retry levels or unlock power-ups, all while maintaining seamless gameplay.
A New Era for In-Game Payments:
Unlike traditional in-app purchases, which often force developers into rigid pricing tiers and surrender 30% to Apple, Bitcoin microtransactions offer unprecedented flexibility.
🔹 Frictionless Spending: Payments happen instantly, without interrupting gameplay.
🔹 Earn as You Play: Players can accumulate sats (tiny Bitcoin units) by completing in-game challenges and later use them for upgrades.
🔹 Developer Freedom: No middlemen, no arbitrary fee structures—just direct, programmable value flow.
André Neves, ZBD’s Co-Founder and CTO, calls this a "historic shift," stating: "Bitcoin isn’t just a payment method—it’s a tool to reinvent how games monetize and engage players. The tech was always there; what changed was the regulatory pressure forcing Apple to open up."
What This Means for the Future:
With SaruTobi now live, the door is open for more Bitcoin-powered apps on iOS. Could this lead to a wave of innovation where games reward players in real money? Could we see entirely new business models where in-game economies operate independently of Apple’s fees?
One thing’s certain: the rules of mobile gaming monetization are changing—and Bitcoin is at the center of it.
Would you play a game that lets you earn and spend real Bitcoin? Let us know in the comments! 🚀

The Adoption of the Lightning Network
Current State, Challenges, and Future
Lightning Network and its Importance
The Lightning Network (LN) represents one of the most significant innovations in the Bitcoin ecosystem since its inception. As a layer-2 protocol, it was designed to address the major scalability challenges facing Bitcoin: limited speed, high fees during congestion, and restricted capacity (approximately 7 transactions per second on the main chain).
First conceptualized in 2015 by Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja, the Lightning Network launched in its beta version in 2018 and has since experienced exponential growth, going from a capacity of just 20 BTC to over 3,996 BTC in public channels by 2025. This technology allows for instant transactions, with minimal fees (around 1 satoshi or $0.0003) and greater privacy by primarily operating off the Bitcoin main chain.
