Speaking of staking, although BTC is the most consensus asset in the cryptocurrency market, it is extremely 'non-productive': it does not generate income, does not circulate, and does not participate in protocol governance. Compared to ETH, which has long become the core of capital in DeFi, BTC has long lacked on-chain yield scenarios.
BounceBit provides a 'practical asset activation path' rather than an empty slogan. It introduces a 'compliance mirroring mechanism' through a combination of CeFi custody and on-chain mapping:
Users' BTC enters a regulated custody platform (such as Ceffu);
The system generates on-chain corresponding assets for participation in yield strategies;
The entire process has on-chain verification capabilities, making it both compliant and transparent.
In fact, unlike the mapping model of a single cross-chain bridge, BounceBit retains the legal certainty of the underlying assets, which is the prerequisite for BTC funds to be truly activated. It does not purely rely on smart contracts to build a security model, but hedges the uncertainty of the contract layer through regulated paths.
Of course, BTC is not being forcibly DeFi-ified, but rather its asset appreciation capability is being activated through the synergy of systems and technology. This design balances the vision of decentralization with the compliance foundation required for institutional participation.
