Ethereum L2s like Mantle and even Uniswap V4 deployments are feeling the cracks.
$500M+ lost in 2025 from incidents like the cmETH exploit on Mantle and the 12 million hook vulnerability on Uniswap, all tied to assumptions around rapid, probabilistic finality.
The pattern shows: fast finality without deep security creates openings that attackers exploit.
Hemi takes a different path.
Secured by Bitcoin as the settlement layer, Hemi delivers superfinality through Proof of Proof (PoP), anchoring its state directly into Bitcoin’s Proof of Work.
In ~90 minutes, transactions reach a level of finality that attackers can’t realistically challenge.
#xrp ETF discussions show a shift in digital assets: institutions are no longer focused only on exposure; they are looking for assets with clearer utility and settlement reach.
Bitcoin #ETFs fluctuate, creating a moment of reflection across the market.
Bitcoin’s use matters more than how it trades.
Hemi offers a path.
Hemi enables Bitcoin participation in lending, liquidity, and programmable yield, all while remaining native. It keeps Bitcoin anchored to its Proof of Work security while enabling applications that lived only within Ethereum’s ecosystem.
With the growth of ETFs and as institutional interest grows, the opportunity shifts from holding digital assets to activating them. Hemi supports that transition by letting Bitcoin operate inside a programmable environment without wrapping or custodial middle layers.
TAO shows how intelligence can drive on-chain decision-making as AI systems take on routing, analysis, and automated strategies across networks. These models need environments that can offer security, predictable execution, and room to scale.
Hemi creates that layer for Bitcoin.
With Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work at the base and full EVM compatibility on top, Hemi gives AI-powered DeFi applications a place where data, capital, and models can operate together. It connects AI logic with Bitcoin’s liquidity, letting BTC participate in strategies without wrapping or custodial risk.
AAVE continues to show how strong protocol design can turn liquidity into something productive, giving users real utility.
Hemi is shaping that same shift for Bitcoin.
With the HIPPO-2 Economic Model now active, protocol fees are converted into hemiBTC and HEMI, then cycled back to veHEMI stakers. A portion of HEMI gets burned along the way, creating a system where participation strengthens both the network and its economy.
It’s a structure that supports sustainable BTC-backed yield, predictable distribution, and community-aligned governance, all anchored in Bitcoin’s security.
Stablecoins are pushing deeper usage, with platforms like $POL leading adoption in LATAM and Southeast Asia, and AUDF moving more than $2.5B in volume on its own. That momentum shows how quickly digital dollars are becoming a core part of global crypto activity.
But stablecoins still depend almost entirely on Ethereum-based liquidity. Bitcoin’s $2T continues to sit on the sidelines.
Hemi is opening the door.
By connecting Bitcoin and Ethereum through its tunneling architecture, Hemi creates an environment where BTC can support stablecoins directly, powering minting, settlement, and liquidity without wrapping or custodial handoffs.
That unlocks the next phase: BTC-backed stablecoins, BTC-settled DEXs, and Bitcoin-native liquidity moving through familiar DeFi applications.
It’s already taking shape. Yield, lending, and staking live today on Hemi show how Bitcoin capital can participate without leaving its own security.
Stablecoins are scaling. Bitcoin is entering the equation.
LINK secures more than $100B in onchain value, keeping data flowing across ecosystems. ONDO is bringing real-world assets into crypto at scale, proving that traditional markets are steadily shifting onchain.
But these systems still operate in separate environments, each with its own liquidity paths and user flows. Moving value between them remains slow and fragmented.
Hemi is changing that.
By connecting Bitcoin and Ethereum through its tunneling architecture, Hemi creates a single environment where liquidity moves natively. No stablecoin conversions, no wrapped tokens, and no custodial detours.
Bitcoin’s $2 trillion becomes usable across yield markets, RWA platforms, and the broader DeFi economy.
LINK-powered data, ONDO-powered assets, and Hemi-powered liquidity begin operating in one connected system.
This is the Supernetwork era taking shape: Bitcoin secured. Ethereum programmable. Liquidity unified.
For years, BTC was the world’s strongest asset, but the least usable.
By making Bitcoin programmable, liquid, and accessible to the same institutional-grade infrastructure that powers DeFi, Hemi unlocks Bitcoin liquidity beyond price speculation.
Anchored to Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work through Proof-of-Proof consensus, and built for Ethereum compatibility, Hemi transforms BTC from a passive reserve into an active, yield-generating asset class.
BNB Memecoins are Ruling this Week - What if Bitcoin Joins the Show?
ASTER became a gateway to memecoins launched on BNB, providing them with a massive global appeal. Proving that accessibility and scale drive culture as much as technology.
But the next chapter could be even bigger.
With Hemi, Bitcoin is becoming programmable; an active component in a BTC Layer 2 that combines Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s flexibility. Imagine that same memecoin energy, but built on Bitcoin itself.
A Bitcoin-native DEX. BTC-backed liquidity. Seamless launch mechanics powered by Hemi’s architecture.
YZi Labs has become one of the most influential investment forces in crypto, hand picking projects that define where the industry is heading next.
Hemi continues to strengthen its position among YZi-backed networks. Proof-of-Proof consensus and hVM programmability extends Bitcoin beyond its role as a store of value, making it programmable and accessible for global finance.
Two very different ecosystems. One common thread: YZi Labs sees them both as cornerstones of crypto’s future.
ARB dominates DeFi today; it’s the scaling on Ethereum, capturing liquidity, apps, and developer mindshare.
However, Ethereum L2s are closely tied to ETH’s ecosystem,drawing capital mainly from ETH and stablecoins, leaving Bitcoin’s $2T untapped.
Hemi is the layer that lets BTC, the largest asset in crypto, fuel DeFi directly. No wrapped tokens. No custodial bridges. Just Bitcoin security and Ethereum’s programmability.
If ARB showed how to scale Ethereum’s DeFi, Hemi is here to scale DeFi for Bitcoin.
Hemi unlocks Bitcoin’s $2 trillion potential, and it has the backing to make it happen.
With support from YZi Labs, the same team behind some of the largest ecosystems in crypto, Hemi is positioned to bring Bitcoin into the age of programmable finance. This is about scaling Bitcoin itself, from a static store of value into the foundation of BTCFi.
As Ethereum’s L2s showed the world how scaling transforms a chain’s possibilities, Hemi now takes that playbook to Bitcoin. By combining world-class backing with a clear vision for interoperability and institutional adoption, Hemi is laying the rails for Bitcoin’s next era.
Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work mechanism makes it the most secure blockchain in crypto.
Hemi builds on that foundation.
By anchoring to Bitcoin’s PoW through Proof-of-Proof consensus, every transaction inherits the same battle-tested security. And with trust-minimized tunnels replacing fragile bridges, users can move assets across ecosystems without compromising safety.
For Bitcoin DeFi to grow, it has to be secure. Hemi makes that non-negotiable.
With trust-minimized tunnels and the hVM, Bitcoin attains programmability while liquidity flows where it’s needed without wrapped tokens or custodians. For users, it’s simple: one Bitcoin, everywhere, no extra steps, no extra risk.
With hemiBTC pools now live on SushiSwap V3, supported by Merkl reward distribution, Bitcoin liquidity can finally be deployed into a dynamic, yield-generating ecosystem. This is about creating programmable, trust-minimized channels where Bitcoin becomes a working asset.
By connecting hemiBTC to Sushi’s deep liquidity and Merkl’s efficient incentive layer, Hemi gives users a direct pathway to put their bitcoin to work, earning, trading, and fueling the growth of BTCFi.
Backed by CRO capital, Hemi’s $15M funding round brings one of the largest crypto ecosystems into Bitcoin DeFi.
With Crypto.com’s scale and Hemi’s Proof-of-Proof consensus and hVM programmability, Bitcoin’s $2T in idle capital can now move into DeFi with trust-minimized security and global reach.
Hemi is where Ethereum programmability meets Bitcoin.
Moving funds from Bitcoin to platforms like HYPE today means converting BTC to USDT, bridging it, then swapping again, each step adding friction, fees, and risk.
By connecting Bitcoin and Ethereum directly through its tunneling architecture, Hemi lets liquidity move natively, with no stablecoin conversions, no custodial bridges.
It’s a single network where Bitcoin’s $2 trillion in value becomes instantly usable across DeFi, yield, and trading apps.
Bitcoin powers the same liquidity engines that drive Ethereum’s markets.
#RWA has become one of crypto’s fastest-scaling markets.
Platforms like ONDO are leading the charge, turning bonds, treasuries, and yield-bearing products into onchain assets with over $8 billion in total value locked.
But so far, nearly all of that activity lives on Ethereum.
The world’s largest asset, Bitcoin’s $2 trillion in capital, remains outside the RWA equation until now.
By merging Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work security with Ethereum-compatible programmability, #Hemi makes it possible to bring Bitcoin liquidity directly into tokenized finance.
It allows BTC to back real-world assets, stable instruments, and yield products, all without wrapping or custodial risk.
ETF flows have reshaped how institutions access Bitcoin; global ETF AUM now sits around $179.5B, with U.S.-listed funds driving the majority of that growth.
Regulators are opening doors faster: the SEC now allows generic listing standards for crypto spot ETFs, cutting approvals down to just 75 days.
This shift marks the end of Bitcoin as purely a “store of value” and the beginning of Bitcoin as an active financial asset.
But holding a token through an ETF doesn’t fully unlock utility.
That’s where Hemi comes in.
While ETFs let you invest more easily, Hemi lets you use Bitcoin: liquidity, yield, DeFi, crosschain access, all built with Bitcoin security.
Bitcoin is the king of crypto, and institutions are stacking it, with over $166 billion locked in corporate treasuries alone. But holding it is just the first move.
#HEMI gives every BTC holder the tools to make it work. Through lending markets, liquidity pools, fixed-rate strategies, and structured products, your Bitcoin can earn without compromising its core integrity.
Whether it’s a public company or a private investor, the goal is the same: output without dilution.
#Hemi powers that shift, turning Bitcoin assets into yield machines.
