For years, Bitcoin holders have faced a tough decision. Keep coins safe in self-custody wallets where they do nothing, or take the risk of sending them to centralized platforms to earn a return. Both paths had a cost. Security meant no growth, and growth meant exposure to risk.

YBTC removes this trade-off entirely. Created by @BitlayerLabs , YBTC is pegged 1:1 with Bitcoin, but instead of relying on trust, it uses cryptographic proofs to show that every token is backed on Bitcoin’s Layer 1. Holders do not have to give up custody or depend on opaque systems. They can see and verify for themselves.

The result is powerful. Bitcoin now flows into DeFi without losing its strongest qualities. It can be placed in liquidity pools, it can be used for lending, and it can generate yield while still tied to the security of proof of work. What once required risk and trust now becomes a matter of mathematics and verifiable backing.

This is not another wrapped Bitcoin product. It is a new class of Bitcoin, designed to exist in a DeFi economy while never leaving its foundation. YBTC proves that sound money can also be productive money, and this balance opens the door for a wider Bitcoin economy.
