Bitlayer @BitlayerLabs : Leading the Potential of BTCFi with Bitcoin Layer 2 Solutions (Part 2)
At the same time, Bitlayer directly responds to the inherent demand for returns from BTC holders. For a long time, over 90% of Bitcoin has been idle, with holders relying solely on price appreciation.
Bitlayer introduces innovative assets such as YBTC, supporting native staking, lending, and liquidity mining, allowing users to earn an annualized return of 3-7% without sacrificing the security of Bitcoin. Through its Rollup architecture and challenge mechanism, the platform ensures efficient, low-cost transactions and integrates with SafePal and Binance Wallet, making it easy for retail users to participate.
In the first half of 2025, Bitlayer's BTCFi Carnival attracted 1.86 million participants, generating 4.39 million on-chain transactions, proving its effectiveness in activating idle BTC.
The technical foundation of Bitlayer provides solid support for its potential. The decentralized bridge based on BitVM outperforms traditional multi-signature solutions, combined with mining pool cooperation (such as Antpool), capturing over one-third of Bitcoin's hash power, ensuring network stability.
With the rollout of Mainnet V2, Bitlayer is expected to drive the BTCFi market size to hundreds of billions of dollars by 2026, becoming a leader in the financialization transformation of Bitcoin.
