#Bitlayer Completed $25 million institutional financing, led by top institutions such as Polychain Capital and Franklin Templeton, which reflects the deep recognition of the capital market for the value of the BTCFi track and Bitlayer infrastructure. The core logic can be summarized in three points.
First, the scarcity of the track. The current BTCFi ecosystem still lacks mature infrastructure, with most projects focusing on a single function (such as cross-chain and staking), while Bitlayer has built a full-stack solution of 'cross-chain bridge + Rollup network + asset mapping' that covers the core aspects of BTCFi and is irreplaceable; second, the advantages of compliance and security. Traditional asset management institutions like Franklin Templeton have very high compliance requirements, and Bitlayer's technical solutions (such as the trust-minimized BitVM Bridge and the transparent custody of YBTC) meet the institutional demand for 'low risk and traceability', providing a compliant path for traditional capital entry; third, the progress of ecosystem implementation. Compared to other projects that are still in the PPT stage, Bitlayer has achieved mainnet deployment, mining pool collaboration, multi-chain adaptation, and user activity implementation, with the number of ecosystem users exceeding 50,000, providing a clear commercialization path and reducing investment risks.
The financing funds will mainly be used for three points: first, the iterative upgrade of BitVM technology to develop more efficient cross-chain verification algorithms; second, ecological support for the Rollup network, establishing a $10 million developer fund; third, global compliance layout to promote cooperation with traditional financial institutions, further consolidating its industry position in BTCFi infrastructure.@BitlayerLabs
