In 2025, Bitcoin is no longer just a digital currency or a speculative asset you hold in your wallet hoping the price goes up. It has become a real financial tool actively used by major corporations, investment funds, and even some governments.
But here’s a surprising figure: out of the 19.8 million BTC currently in circulation, less than 2% are actively used on the blockchain. This means the vast majority is sitting idle, generating no income. That’s where Solv Protocol comes in it has analyzed and compiled the 8 best strategies to generate yield with your Bitcoin.
Take a few minutes to discover how your BTC can work for you even while you sleep.
1. Quantitative Trading and Arbitrage
This is a straightforward strategy: it involves taking advantage of price differences between the “spot” market (direct buying) and derivatives (futures contracts). In simple terms, buy low here, sell higher there without exposing yourself to Bitcoin’s price volatility. This method is widely used by professionals.
2. Providing Liquidity on DEXs (Decentralized Exchanges)
Platforms like Uniswap or PancakeSwap need liquidity to facilitate trades. By supplying your BTC, you enable users to trade and earn a share of the transaction fees in return. It’s like becoming a mini banker.
3. Lending Your BTC in DeFi
You can lend your BTC on decentralized platforms (like Aave or Compound) to users who need liquidity, in exchange for interest. This is a form of passive income, and relatively secure if used properly.
4. Native BTC Staking
Projects like Babylon or CoreDAO now allow you to natively stake your BTC, similar to what’s done with Ethereum. You lock your bitcoins into a secure network and receive rewards in return.
5. Liquid Staking with Tokens like xSolvBTC
This strategy involves converting your BTC into a “liquid” version such as xSolvBTC, which can then be used across DeFi. It enables you to earn multiple layers of yield, by deploying it across various platforms and blockchains.
6. Yield Tokenization
A brilliant idea: take an income-generating asset and split it into two parts one that guarantees your capital, and another that represents future income. You then choose: do you prefer security, or higher potential returns? It’s up to you!
7. Native Yields on Binance
Binance offers several staking programs (flexible or locked) and campaigns with rewards. These programs allow you to earn daily or monthly yields in BTC or stablecoins simply by depositing your funds.
8. Real World Asset (RWA) Yields
This is the 2025 revolution: you can now invest your BTC into real-world assets like government bonds or short-term loans but on the blockchain! This lets you benefit from traditional interest rates while staying fully in the crypto world.
Conclusion: Bitcoin Becomes Productive
Today, you no longer have to wait for BTC’s price to rise in order to profit. With these strategies, your Bitcoin can generate steady income safely and efficiently.
Solv Protocol combines these strategies into what are called Solv Vaults: ready-to-use digital vaults to earn real yields directly on the blockchain.
