Friends, can you imagine Bitcoin serving millions of users daily, like a popular bank, but without intermediaries? Bitlayer is bringing this future closer by scaling BTCFi to new heights – and today we will break down how this is happening in simple terms for newcomers! 🌍
As we discussed in the previous post about leadership @BitlayerLabs in DeFi with yield on YBTC and integrations with Solana (see link), the project is already showing how to earn on Bitcoin. But to complete the revolution, scaling is needed! Bitlayer is growing rapidly: in the last 7 days, active addresses increased by 118% to 27,700, and TVL (total value locked) has reached first place among BTC Layer 2.
This means that more people are using the network for transactions, staking, or trading, without overloading the main Bitcoin. Why is this cool? Because Bitlayer Network acts as an “extension” for BTC: it processes thousands of transactions per second with low fees, using rollup technology – like packing many packages into one truck for quick delivery. And the BitVM Bridge adds security, allowing BTC to be moved to other ecosystems, as recently seen in Solana through partnerships with Kamino Finance and Orca. There, YBTC can be used for DeFi, such as for lending or trading, making Bitcoin part of a larger network.
The future looks bright: at the Summer Release Conference 2025, new products, ecosystem expansion, and strategic collaborations were announced. Bitlayer raised an additional $5M in token rounds for development, and the Booster Campaign (Special Phase until August 24) continues to distribute BTR for activity. This leads to TGE (token generation), where BTR will become the key to managing the network. Imagine: BTCFi with billions in assets, where your BTC works in a global system integrated with Ethereum, Solana, and others. But the nuance – growth requires regulation and security to avoid risks as in past projects.
Follow me to easily understand the scale of crypto, like Bitlayer's 118% activity growth – such facts help newcomers see where the market is heading and how to prepare for the future! 📊
And tomorrow, in the last post… a complete summary of the Bitlayer revolution and what to expect next? Don't miss the finale! 🎉
