I've learned to stop following the hype and start following the money. And when it comes to Bitlayer, the money is screaming a clear message. We're talking about a project that has raised over $30 million from a who's who of crypto VCs, including Polychain Capital, Franklin Templeton, and Framework Ventures. These are not institutions that throw money at every meme coin; they're making a calculated bet that Bitlayer is building the essential infrastructure for Bitcoin's next phase.
Their thesis is simple and powerful: the demand for BTCFi is exploding, with billions in dormant Bitcoin waiting to be put to work. Bitlayer's answer is a two-pronged attack: the BitVM Bridge, which is a leading example of trust-minimized Bitcoin interoperability, and the Bitlayer Network, a high-performance Bitcoin Rollup. The fact that they've already secured partnerships with major blockchains like Cardano and top mining pools proves they're thinking long-term. And for those of us who want to get involved, the "Booster" campaign on Binance Wallet and the upcoming Pre-TGE offer a clear path to participate. The smart money is in, and it's signaling that this isn't just a project, it’s the future.
