Collaboration in the crypto circle is like new flavors in a milk tea shop, happening every day, but those that can truly change the industry must be the collaboration between Binance and #Bitlayer —not only has it 'opened the faucet' on the DeFi potential of Bitcoin, but it may also turn the BTCFi track from a 'pipe dream' into 'a hot dish served on the table,' definitely a key turning point.
The connection between the two can be traced back to the BTCFi Carnival in December 2024. That six-week 'carnival party' brought in 2-3 BTCFi projects each week, with a total reward pool of 1.2 million USDT worth of BTR, successfully attracting Binance's massive user base to #Bitlayer. By the time of the Booster event in July 2025, the 'sense of participation' was taken to a whole new level: users could earn BTR by holding Alpha Points, minting an SBT, and creating content. In the first phase alone, 5.7 million BTR was distributed, and this 'play-and-earn' model revitalized the ecosystem.
@BitlayerLabs and Binance's collaboration goes beyond just the user level. The partnership with Web3WithBinance allows Binance users to easily explore the Bitlayer ecosystem; the CreatorPad on Binance Square, in conjunction with Booster, enables users to earn 100,000 BTR just by creating content; the Pre-TGE event in August was even more impressive, raising $400,000 BNB through Binance Wallet, paving a 'red carpet' for BTR's potential future listing. This multi-dimensional, in-depth collaboration has caused Bitlayer's TVL and user count to skyrocket.
Of course, #Bitlayer's own technical strength is also a solid asset. Its Bitcoin Rollup architecture allows transactions to run quickly on Layer 2, with the state anchored to the mainnet, ensuring high security; the BitVM Bridge has also addressed the long-standing challenges of cross-chain, enabling minimal trust conversion between Bitcoin and YBTC. These technologies, combined with Binance's traffic, capital, and ecosystem resources, create an effect that is not just 1+1=2, but rather a 'super combination'—not only allowing Bitcoin to smoothly engage in DeFi on EVM chains but also attracting top mining pools like Antpool and F2Pool for support, forming a dual assurance of 'computing power + traffic.'
After all, @BitlayerLabs The collaboration with Binance is essentially a strong partnership between 'security infrastructure' and 'ecosystem amplifier.' When Bitcoin's security attributes meet Binance's user and capital advantages, and when the technological breakthroughs of #Bitlayer encounter the platform resources of Binance, BTCFi finally has the confidence for large-scale deployment. This operation indeed has something special.
