@Solv Protocol #BTCUnbound $SOLV
As we enter 2025, the cryptocurrency market continues to heat up, demonstrating a more rapid development trend. Since the beginning of the year, many favorable factors have continuously injected vitality into the market, promoting its vigorous growth. After the successful launch of the Bitcoin ETF, it has stirred up waves in the financial market, attracting the attention of numerous traditional financial institutions and investors, bringing a continuous influx of funds into the cryptocurrency market. Meanwhile, the global regulatory attitude towards cryptocurrencies has gradually become clearer and more friendly, with many countries and regions actively exploring their legal status and regulatory frameworks, creating a favorable policy environment.
Against this backdrop, Bitcoin's price has surged. Entering the second half of the year, Bitcoin successfully broke through the $120,000 mark, with its total market capitalization soaring, further solidifying its important position in the global asset market. Today, Bitcoin has gradually become a globally accepted asset, and as mainstream financial markets continue to pay attention to it, the market remains confident that Bitcoin's future market value will surpass that of gold.
In fact, whether Bitcoin can shake gold's position in the global asset market has always been a hot topic of discussion. From the current market response, most people hold an optimistic view. We also believe Bitcoin has this potential; however, based on the fundamental reality, Bitcoin still faces many challenges and has a long way to go to achieve this goal.
Bitcoin VS Gold
From a market capitalization perspective, at a price of $120,000 per coin, Bitcoin's current market cap is approximately $2.4 trillion. Meanwhile, gold, priced at $2,700 per ounce, has a market cap of around $18 trillion (with a peak of $20 trillion). Even if Bitcoin reaches an all-time high, there is still a massive gap of about 7.5 times between the two market caps.
In fact, gold, as a mature global asset, has a stable market, broad government support, and a regulatory system, making it a core reserve asset for a long time. It is not only a key component of foreign exchange reserves for central banks but also plays a crucial role as a safe-haven asset during financial crises and inflation periods. In contrast, Bitcoin, as an emerging digital asset, although gradually gaining more recognition and application in recent years, especially after the launch of Bitcoin ETFs in the North American market, still finds itself in the early stages of development.
The acceptance of Bitcoin still needs further improvement, and its price volatility is significant; the market infrastructure and regulatory system are also not yet perfect. Therefore, although Bitcoin possesses unique advantages in technology and market consensus, and shows potential to surpass gold in certain areas, achieving this will still face many challenges and uncertainties, particularly in terms of deep integration into the global financial system and the improvement of the legal framework. It is evident that behind the market cap lies a significant difference in the fundamentals of both assets.
After breaking through $120,000, the value growth path of BTC: Solv BTC + opens the era of 'activating dormant capital.'
In fact, the recent growth in Bitcoin's price is largely attributed to external market factors. Trump's successful election, traditional financial institutions maintaining their positions, and the smooth launch of the Bitcoin ETF have all continuously injected confidence into the market. However, as Bitcoin's market capitalization exceeds $2.4 trillion, the core contradiction remains unsolved: over 65% of circulating bitcoins (worth over $1.6 trillion) are in a long-term idle state, lacking sustainable income channels. The BTC + institutional-grade yield treasury, officially launched by Solv on August 1, 2025, is becoming the key to unlocking this dilemma.
BTC +: The flagship product that turns dormant bitcoins into compliant income-generating assets.
As the core product launched by Solv, BTC + positions itself as 'turning dormant bitcoins into compliant, income-generating institutional-grade assets,' providing all Bitcoin users with a low-threshold, high-transparency income solution. Its core advantages are reflected in the following aspects:
Stable base income and additional rewards driven by dual incentives: BTC + offers users a base yield of 5-6%, supports 'one-click deposit' operations, allowing users to enjoy institutional-grade experiences without complex processes, and is open to all users. Meanwhile, when users participate in the BTC + treasury, they can set a lock-up period, sharing a reward pool of $100,000 through a time-weighted mechanism (Reward Power); the longer the lock-up period, the larger the portion of rewards obtained, further enhancing income potential.
Multi-dimensional strategy integration, spanning three realms of income: BTC + is not a single strategy product but integrates multiple high-performance income sources: on-chain credit market interest, liquidity provision fees, basis and funding rate arbitrage income, protocol incentive rewards, and real-world income streams from BlackRock's BUIDL fund and Hamilton Lane's SCOPE fund. This 'on-chain + off-chain' compound strategy allows Bitcoin income to no longer rely solely on single market fluctuations.
Top-level compliance and security endorsement, institutional-level trust guarantee: Solv has been personally selected by Binance as the sole Bitcoin asset yield manager on the Binance Earn platform—this is extremely rare among centralized platforms and fully demonstrates Solv's top capabilities in compliance, custody security, and yield structure design. Notably, the BNB Chain Foundation has purchased $25,000 worth of $SOLV coins through its $100 million incentive program, which is an important endorsement of Solv's vision and industry influence.
Zero-threshold native experience, seamless ecosystem access: Users can directly deposit native BTC into BTC + on the official Solv dApp (https://app.solv.finance/btc+?network=ethereum) without the need for cross-chain bridging or asset wrapping, completely eliminating the security risks and friction costs of intermediary links. At the same time, BTC + has passed the Chainlink Proof-of-Reserves mechanism audit, achieving on-chain real-time transparency and meeting institutional-level review standards.
Scalable architecture connecting retail and sovereign funds: BTC + is designed for scalability, adopting a modular, auditable, and composable design that achieves full-level Bitcoin yield bridging from retail users to sovereign funds for the first time. It spans CeFi (reaching retail users through Binance), DeFi (multi-chain treasury network), and TradFi (institutional resources such as BlackRock and Hamilton Lane), allowing capital of different sizes to access compliant income through a unified entrance.
Institutional-level recognition: Solv builds Bitcoin financial infrastructure.
The launch of BTC + is not a coincidence but the result of Solv's long-term construction of global Bitcoin financial infrastructure. Solv is creating a seamless Bitcoin income system by integrating centralized finance (CeFi), decentralized finance (DeFi), and traditional finance (TradFi). This system has received significant support from multiple parties:
Binance's delegation of Solv to manage its users' BTC yield strategies means that Solv has passed Binance's most stringent institutional-level due diligence, possessing global security, compliance, and capital efficiency capabilities—an achievement that other Bitcoin financial protocols have not yet accomplished.
Solv's innovative 'dual treasury architecture' has achieved complete separation of custody and execution, meeting the standards of traditional asset management industries, and has prepared to welcome sovereign funds and institutional-level capital.
To cover a broader range of global capital, Solv has also launched the world's first Shariah-compliant BTC yield product, certified by the international authority Amanie Advisors, with the potential to unlock over $5 trillion in Middle Eastern and Islamic financial capital.
According to plan, BTC + aims to capture 1% of the global Bitcoin stock, bringing over $1 trillion of idle capital into compliant and yield-protected institutional-grade products. When this portion of 'dormant capital' enters circulation and income generation through BTC +, Bitcoin's value growth will no longer depend solely on price fluctuations but will form a positive cycle of 'stock activation - income feedback - consensus reinforcement.'
Solv Protocol + Zeus Network: A dual engine for value release.
In addition to the stock activation brought by BTC +, another core path for Bitcoin's value growth lies in cross-ecosystem liquidity release. The deep collaboration between Solv Protocol and Zeus Network is building such a value channel.
Solv Protocol, as the 'on-chain Federal Reserve' centered on Bitcoin, integrates numerous BTCFi protocols such as Bedrock, Lombard, and Pell Network through the Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL), standardizing the processes of staking and re-staking Bitcoin, allowing over 25,000 BTC to actively generate income through its system, with more than 90% of the Bitcoin reserves being effectively utilized.
Zeus Network, as a decentralized communication layer connecting Solana and Bitcoin, introduces Bitcoin into the Solana ecosystem—an 'active zone of high returns'—by issuing zBTC, which is 1:1 pegged to Bitcoin (recognized by the Solana Foundation). Users can convert the earnings generated by Solv BTC + into zBTC through Zeus, capturing additional active income in Solana's DeFi facilities—for example, obtaining 20-30% APY in the zBTC/SOL liquidity pool or earning 3-4% annualized returns through the Jupiter perpetual contract market.
This combination of 'BTC + stock income + Zeus cross-chain value enhancement' transforms Bitcoin from a single value storage tool into a 'compliant income-generating + cross-ecosystem liquidity' composite asset, providing a practical path to break through the market cap barrier of gold.
Conclusion: The era of Bitcoin financialization has arrived.
When Bitcoin breaks through $120,000, the market's focus has shifted from 'price increase' to 'value accumulation.' The launch of Solv BTC + marks Bitcoin's official entry into the 'financialization era'—no longer relying on faith-driven unilateral rises but activating stock value through compliant and structured financial tools; Zeus Network allows this value to cross ecosystem boundaries and realize appreciation in broader scenarios.
From Binance's institutional delegation to strategic investments from the BNB Chain Foundation, from BlackRock's real-world income access to liquidity collaboration within the Solana ecosystem, Bitcoin is gradually integrating into the core of the global financial system under the promotion of infrastructures like Solv. When trillions of idle capital are awakened, and a closed loop of cross-ecosystem value circulation is formed, the day Bitcoin surpasses gold may be closer than the market expects.
