BounceBit has a clear roadmap aimed at developing its hybrid CeDeFi infrastructure and expanding opportunities for Bitcoin holders.

Major Milestones and Achievements (as of July 2025):

  • January 2024: The launch of "The Water Margin" was a period of early access during which the platform quickly gained significant TVL (Total Value Locked), demonstrating high interest in the concept of BTC restaking. By the end of 2024, the project's TVL grew from $200 million to $700 million.

  • March 2024: Testnet Launch.

  • May 2024:

    • Official Mainnet Launch.

    • Automatic distribution of BB tokens via airdrop to all eligible wallets.

    • Completion of the Binance Megadrop program, during which BB tokens were distributed to participants.

  • 2025 (Strategic Plan): BounceBit released its strategic plan for 2025, focusing on developing institutional-level CeDeFi and Real-World Asset (RWA) business.

    • Q1 2025: Launch of the flagship product BounceBit Prime for institutional clients.

    • Q2-Q4 2025: Subsequent developments in the field of:

      • The RWA (Real-World Asset) lending market.

      • Settlement and clearing systems.

      • Development of additional SSC (Side-Chain-like Chains) to strengthen the restaking infrastructure.

      • Expansion of the ecosystem with BounceClub.

      • Launch of tokenized equity products in DeFi.

Future Ambitions and Challenges:

  1. Institutional Adoption: One of BounceBit's key goals is to attract institutional players by offering them structured products and secure methods for earning returns on BTC. The success of their BounceBit Prime product will be an indicator of their ability to achieve this.

  2. Expansion of the CeDeFi Ecosystem: Continuous expansion of CeDeFi offerings, inclusion of new sources of yield, and integration with more partners (both CeFi and DeFi).

  3. Development of RWA: Integrating real-world assets (RWA) into the ecosystem is an important step that can open new opportunities for utilizing BTC in tokenized financial products.

  4. Competition: BounceBit faces competition from other Bitcoin restaking protocols (e.g., Babylon, Merlin Chain, B² Network) and other L2 solutions for Bitcoin. It will need to constantly innovate to maintain its unique advantages.

  5. Regulation: The merging of CeFi and DeFi, as well as the use of BTC in new forms, may lead to increased regulatory scrutiny. BounceBit must be prepared to adapt to the changing legal landscape.

  6. Security and Trust: To attract institutional funds and large BTC holders, it is critically important to maintain the highest standards of security and transparency, especially regarding their CeFi partners and storage mechanisms.

BounceBit positions itself as a key player in the evolving Bitcoin ecosystem, aiming to unlock its potential as an active financial instrument. The success of the project will depend on its ability to execute its ambitious roadmap, build a robust infrastructure, and achieve wide adoption among both retail and institutional users.
