The BTCFi movement is just beginning, but it already has a name leading this revolution: @BitlayerLabs . Aiming to unlock the full potential of Bitcoin in the DeFi universe, Bitlayer is building the definitive infrastructure to unite security, scalability, and interoperability.
At the heart of this vision is the BitVM Bridge, a next-generation BTC bridge solution, minimized in trust and already with a live mainnet, being one of the first BitVM-based projects to reach this historic milestone. This paves the way for Bitcoin, which has always been seen as a store of value, to finally circulate in the DeFi ecosystem in the form of YBTC, generating yield and real liquidity.
Another pillar of the infrastructure is the Bitlayer Network, which seeks to establish a high-performance Rollup over Bitcoin, creating a robust and scalable Layer 2 ecosystem. This combination will enable the development of fast, low-cost, and completely secure DeFi applications, leveraging the immense capital base that already exists in BTC.
Bitlayer's expansion does not happen in isolation. The project has already secured strategic partnerships with major L1s such as Sui, Base, Arbitrum, and Cardano, as well as heavyweight miners like Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool. This network of alliances strengthens ecosystem growth and ensures real traction for the upcoming steps.
The market has already recognized the potential: Bitlayer has completed a funding round of 25 million dollars, led by giants such as Polychain Capital, Franklin Templeton, Framework Ventures, and ABCDE, consolidating its position as a key player in the sector.
And for those closely following, there are additional opportunities: the 'Booster' campaign in partnership with Binance Wallet is already in Phase 2, allowing users to participate to earn BTR tokens. Furthermore, Bitlayer will soon launch its Pre-TGE, a strategic moment for the community to position itself early in this movement.
While other initiatives are still discussing 'when', Bitlayer is demonstrating the now. The combination of Bitcoin's security, innovation in scalability, and heavyweight partnerships makes #Bitlayer the foundation upon which the future of BTCFi will be built.
