As Bitcoin's DeFi dreams linger within technological limitations, its singular role as a store of value urgently needs to break through. Bitlayer acts as a builder, solidifying Bitcoin's foundation in decentralized finance with its ultimate BTCFi infrastructure strategy and painting a prosperous blueprint for the Web3 ecosystem.
Bitlayer's market positioning is to create the core pillar of Bitcoin DeFi, aiming to connect traditional finance with the blockchain world. Its BitVM Bridge, as a next-generation trust-minimized BTC bridging solution, achieves non-custodial BTC conversion to YBTC through zero-knowledge proofs and the BitVM paradigm. The TVL in August 2025 has exceeded $210 million, with a monthly growth rate of 15%. This bridging technology eliminates centralized risks and supports asset transfers from Binance to Solana, becoming a key entry point for BTCFi.
Bitlayer Network is positioned as a high-performance Bitcoin Rollup, integrating EVM compatibility and native BTC validation, achieving transaction throughput of thousands of TPS, attracting over 300 dApps, including lending and NFT markets. The technical support also includes its developer ecosystem. The xCreatorPad platform allocated 100K BTR to the top 100 developers through the Mindshare Campaign in August 2025, stimulating BTCFi innovation.
The YBTC, in collaboration with Kamino Finance, provides stable returns, with ecological trading volume exceeding 120 million transactions. However, the Rollup's dependence on the main chain for settlement may cause delays, and the compliance challenges for institutional adoption need to be overcome. In the future, if Bitlayer enhances technological stability and ecological diversity, its blueprint may lead BTCFi to mainstream adoption.
This builder lays the foundation for DeFi in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Each of its constructions is an elevation of blockchain potential, and we look forward to its magnificent future together.
