The BitVM bridge for integrating Bitcoin with DeFi, including the StarkNet platform, has already been launched on the mainnet and has been operational since July 16, 2025, providing a trust-minimized infrastructure for using BTC in decentralized applications.

As for the specific tBTC bridge on StarkNet, which allows for the issuance of wrapped BTC directly on Layer 2, its launch has also already taken place or is scheduled for the near future (2025). Additionally, StarkNet plans to launch Bitcoin staking by the third quarter of 2025, which is part of broader efforts to scale Bitcoin and Ethereum within a single ecosystem.

Thus, it can be said that the bridges between Bitcoin and StarkNet are already functioning at a basic level or will be ready and fully launched in 2025, with key events already in the first half and summer of 2025
