Cooperation in the crypto sphere is like new flavors at a milk tea shop—there's something new every day. However, the partnership between Binance and #Bitlayer is truly transformative for the industry—not only has it 'opened the floodgates' for Bitcoin's DeFi potential, but it might also turn the BTCFi track from 'pie in the sky' to 'a hot dish served on the table,' definitely marking a critical turning point.
The fate of these two began with the BTCFi Carnival in December 2024. That six-week-long 'carnival party' brought in 2-3 BTCFi projects each week to support the event, with a total reward pool of 1.2 million USDT worth of BTR, which successfully attracted 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 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. This 'play-to-earn' model revitalized the ecosystem.
The collaboration between @BitlayerLabs and Binance goes beyond just the user level. The partnership with Web3WithBinance allows Binance users to easily dive into the Bitlayer ecosystem; the CreatorPad on Binance Square, in connection with the Booster, allows users to earn 100,000 BTR just by creating content; the Pre-TGE event in August was even more impressive, raising $400,000 in BNB through the Binance Wallet, laying a 'red carpet' for BTR's potential future listing. This multidimensional, in-depth collaboration has caused Bitlayer's TVL and user numbers to soar like a rocket.
Of course, #Bitlayer's own technological strength is also a solid asset. Its Bitcoin Rollup architecture allows transactions to run swiftly on Layer2, while being anchored to the mainnet, ensuring high security; the BitVM Bridge has also resolved the long-standing 'big challenge' of cross-chain transactions, achieving trust-minimized conversion between Bitcoin and YBTC. These technologies, combined with Binance's traffic, capital, and ecological resources, create an effect that is not merely 1+1=2, but rather a 'super combination'—not only enabling Bitcoin to smoothly engage in DeFi on EVM chains but also attracting top mining pools like Antpool and F2Pool for support, forming a dual guarantee of 'hash power + traffic.'
In the end, @BitlayerLabs the collaboration with Binance is essentially a strong alliance of 'security infrastructure' and 'ecosystem amplifier.' When Bitcoin's security attributes meet Binance's user and capital advantages, and when #Bitlayer's technological breakthroughs encounter Binance's platform resources, BTCFi finally has the 'confidence' for large-scale implementation. This operation indeed has substance.
