The launch of YBTC represents a new way for Bitcoin to operate within the financial system. Instead of remaining idle, YBTC allows BTC to transition into DeFi while maintaining its original support on Layer 1. The 1:1 peg is not controlled by custodians or promises. It is secured by cryptographic proofs that provide full transparency to each owner #Bitlayer

Bitcoin has always been described as digital gold. It carries unmatched strength, security, and recognition across the world. For years it has been seen mainly as a store of value, something to hold and protect rather than something to use. That image is now shifting because of the work done by @BitlayerLabs .

The launch of YBTC introduces a new way for Bitcoin to live inside the financial system. Instead of sitting idle, YBTC allows BTC to move into DeFi while still keeping its original backing on Layer 1. The 1:1 peg is not managed by custodians or promises. It is secured by cryptographic proofs that give full transparency to every holder.

This structure changes Bitcoin from passive to active. A BTC holder can now earn yield, provide liquidity, or access lending markets while never giving up security. YBTC can move across chains such as Sui, Arbitrum, and Base, unlocking entire ecosystems that were once closed to Bitcoin.

For the first time, Bitcoin is not limited by its own chain. It can interact, participate, and generate returns across Web3 without leaving its foundation. This is Bitcoin’s evolution into programmable money while keeping its core values intact. YBTC makes Bitcoin both safe and productive, and that is a milestone worth noting.
