BounceBit has expanded its staking options by adding Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) support to its staking pools, enabling Ethereum-based BTC holders to earn BB rewards without converting to native BTC.
This move opens BounceBit’s ecosystem to a wider audience of DeFi users who already hold WBTC and are seeking yield opportunities beyond Ethereum. The WBTC staking pool currently offers a competitive 12% APY, with bonus incentives for users who also stake BB in parallel.
Adding WBTC also strengthens BounceBit’s cross-chain identity, showcasing its ability to bridge value between major ecosystems. The integration was made possible through the Ethereum-BounceBit bridge, which has already seen $120 million in assets locked.
The introduction of WBTC staking is part of BounceBit’s larger strategy to dominate the BTC staking market by offering diverse ways to earn yield on Bitcoin-related assets. Combined with its native BTC staking vaults and BB liquidity pools, the network now provides one of the most versatile BTC yield environments in DeFi.
Analysts expect WBTC staking to attract significant inflows from Ethereum DeFi users, especially as BounceBit continues to offer higher yields compared to most established networks.
