As the price of Bitcoin (BTC) once again breaks the $100,000 mark, market sentiment is high, 'Dino Coins' are surging, and the entire crypto ecosystem is brewing a new narrative shift. BTCfi (Bitcoin Financial Ecosystem) is showing potential to become the next wave of investment craze. Here are the reasons why BTCfi may lead the market and an analysis of its core projects.
Why is now the best time for BTCfi?
Every four years, Bitcoin's on-chain metrics soar, trading volume spikes, and market liquidity increases significantly. However, in the past two cycles, these massive inflows of capital have not been fully utilized.
Today, things are changing:
- The Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystem is rising, with projects like Babylon building the long-missing infrastructure for Bitcoin.
- Institutional preference for Bitcoin brings additional momentum to BTCfi. Institutional participation means potential massive capital inflows.
Liquidity Center: Persistence ($XPRT)
The explosion of BTCfi requires a major liquidity center, similar to Jupiter on Solana or Aerodrome on Base. In this track, Persistence ($XPRT) shows potential to become the main liquidity hub for BTCfi.
Core function of Persistence
- Providing low-slippage exchanges for BTC variants, $XPRT, and other BTCfi tokens
- Developing cross-chain, intent-driven exchange functions to connect various Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystems
As the number of Bitcoin Layer 2 projects increases, liquidity will be dispersed. Persistence, through its cross-chain technology, can effectively integrate this fragmented liquidity and become a key hub.
Token economic model and growth potential
- Total Supply: 218.2 million
- Circulating supply: 218.2 million (no future dilution risk)
- Market capitalization: $41 million (undervalued state)
Currently, 62.7% of the supply has been staked, further reducing market sell-off pressure. At the same time, the staking annualized yield is 17.4%, providing additional incentives for holders. This combination of supply tightening and potential demand growth creates ideal conditions for price increases.
Moreover, the yields in the liquidity pool (LP) remain at highly attractive levels:
- $XPRT/USDT pair: approximately 106% annualized yield
- Stablecoin pool (USDT/USDC): approximately 13% annualized yield
- The XPRT/USDC pair at Aerodrome Base offers a yield of up to 480%.
Technical analysis and market expectations
Currently, the $XPRT price is at a significant support level, with strong rebounds occurring each time this point is reached. The mid-term target price is $0.64, which still has significant upside potential compared to previous historical highs.
Conclusion:
The rise of the BTCfi narrative not only marks the expansion of the Bitcoin ecosystem but also provides investors with a rare early entry opportunity. As one of the core projects of the BTCfi ecosystem, Persistence ($XPRT) is not only backed by strong technical support but is also undervalued due to its robust token economic model and diverse application scenarios.
In an environment with ample market liquidity and increased attention from institutions and governments, the trust level in Bitcoin and its ecosystem is much higher than in other emerging Layer 1 projects. BTCfi could become the next evolutionary phase of the Bitcoin narrative, and $XPRT is one of the most noteworthy investment opportunities in this field.
