For years, Bitcoin has worn the crown of "digital gold"—prized for its scarcity and store of value, but largely sitting idle in wallets. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s staking economy flourished, turning ETH into a dynamic, yield-generating asset through innovations like stETH. Now, Bitcoin is breaking free from its static role, stepping into the world of on-chain finance with tools that unlock liquidity, yield, and composability—ushering in a new era where BTC isn’t just held, but actively put to work.
Despite its $2.4 trillion market dominance, Bitcoin has lagged in DeFi. While ETH holders earn staking rewards and deploy assets across lending, liquidity pools, and derivatives, BTC has been trapped in a binary choice: hoard it or park it on centralized platforms for meager yields. The demand for productive Bitcoin is surging, especially in Asia, where investors crave secure, composable ways to grow their holdings without sacrificing custody.
Enter LBTC—a game-changer bridging Bitcoin’s security with DeFi’s efficiency. Unlike WBTC (which merely wraps BTC), LBTC is yield-bearing, backed 1:1 by Bitcoin staked in Babylon’s trustless protocol. It’s Bitcoin, but supercharged: earning passive income while remaining fully deployable across Aave, Morpho, and other DeFi blue chips.
Why LBTC Stands Out
Institutional-Grade Security: Multi-sig approvals, audits, and on-chain proof-of-reserves ensure LBTC never depegs.
Record-Breaking Adoption: $1B TVL in 92 days, with 80% of supply actively used in DeFi—fueling lending, liquidity mining, and restaking.
Cross-Chain Dominance: Live on Base, Sui, and BNB Chain, LBTC is becoming the go-to Bitcoin asset for DeFi builders across Asia.
The stETH of Bitcoin: Like how stETH unlocked Ethereum’s capital efficiency, LBTC does the same for BTC—but with Bitcoin’s unmatched liquidity.
BTC as collateral for low-risk loans, without selling.
BTC earning yield while securing Babylon’s proof-of-stake network.
BTC flowing seamlessly across chains, powering DeFi ecosystems.
