I first encountered Solv in early 2025 when I accidentally discovered a BTC staking product on Binance Earn with an annualized return of 3.9%, supported by 'Solv strategies.' Initially, I was skeptical: Aren't assets like BTC just for 'holding and waiting for appreciation'? Where do the returns come from? But to my surprise, this was Binance's first external authorization of a BTC yield strategy, and the chosen one was Solv. I decided to give it a try and invested 0.3 BTC into this product. Two weeks later, not only did the returns arrive as expected, but I also realized that I had inadvertently touched upon the starting point of BTC's next major narrative: the triple engine of RWA + CeDeFi + Middle Eastern capital.
After diving deeper, I learned that Solv is not an ordinary DeFi protocol; it can almost be said to be synonymous with 'institutional-grade BTC financial infrastructure.' In the past, we spoke of BTC's value storage properties but overlooked its ability to 'generate returns' like the US dollar or bonds. Solv is reconstructing the yield logic of BTC, shifting from 'holding coins and waiting for appreciation' to a new paradigm of 'active management + on-chain participation + real-world cash flow.'
1. Binance's first partner, Solv earns trust through data.
Solv's ability to become Binance's first BTC strategy manager in the On-Chain Yield space is not without reason. It has long focused on developing BTC yield strategies and established a compliant, auditable product logic between on-chain and institutions. An annualized return of 3.9% may not be high, but it comes from real, traceable revenue channels—not relying on airdrops or bubbles, but rather genuine 'on-chain yields + real-world RWA combination.'
Moreover, crucially, this means that Binance, the world's largest centralized platform, has chosen Solv as its strategic partner for BTC yield generation. This in itself is the greatest endorsement for Solv.
2. The first RWA Bitcoin yield product, Wall Street cash flow begins to empower BTC.
RWA is one of the hottest keywords in the current DeFi space, but Solv is the first to combine it with BTC. Solv collaborates with AVAX and Elixir to integrate the cash flow from BlackRock's BUIDL fund and Hamilton Lane's SCOPE fund into BTC yield products. You can imagine: the fund returns that originally belonged only to institutions can now also be accessed by ordinary BTC holders, akin to 'piping' Wall Street's cash flow into BTC wallets through on-chain technology.
Two funds manage over $4 billion in assets. Previously limited to qualified investors, Solv has now 'on-chain' them through a compliant structure, using BTC staking as collateral to create a new model of 'BTC participation in real asset returns.' This not only enhances the financial attributes of BTC but also allows long-term holders to gain stable returns, weathering bull and bear markets.
3. Shariah certification: Unlocking $5 trillion in Middle Eastern capital.
In March 2025, Solv announced that its SolvBTC.Core product officially received Amanie Advisors' Shariah compliance certification, becoming the world's first Shariah-compliant BTC yield product. This news seems like merely a 'compliance progress,' but it actually hides a massive potential market—the $5 trillion sovereign capital pool in MENA (Middle East and North Africa).
Why is this important? Because many sovereign funds and family offices in Middle Eastern countries must comply with Islamic financial rules, and Solv's certification provides them with the first legally investable BTC yield product. Just as ETFs opened the door for institutional funds to enter the BTC market, Solv's compliance certification opens the door to the Middle Eastern world.
Amanie Advisors has served giants like Franklin Templeton and Nomura Securities, possessing extremely high authority. Solv's endorsement through them means it is no longer just an on-chain protocol but a compliant bridge connecting sovereign capital and the BTC world.
4. Solana, on-chain MicroStrategy, and the expansion of BTC financial narratives.
In addition to RWA, Solv is also actively expanding the on-chain liquidity of BTC. It is the first provider of BTC yield products within the Solana ecosystem, supporting efficient on-chain yield generation, aiming to onboard 1% of the global BTC supply onto the chain. According to Blockworks data, BTC monthly trading volume on Solana surged from $100 million in 2024 to $3 billion in 2025, and Solv is at the forefront of this liquidity explosion.
What is even more imaginative is Solv's concept of 'on-chain MicroStrategy'—attracting long-term BTC holders through a reserve fund model. Not only do they enjoy the appreciation of Bitcoin's value, but they can also participate in RWA returns and DeFi activities on-chain. This is a combination of 'BTC assetization + financialization.'
5. Why do I choose to continue staking BTC with Solv?
I now allocate a portion of BTC to Solv's strategies every month. Not for short-term gains, but because of the long-term financial infrastructure it builds. I believe that the future yield scenarios for BTC will not only exist in CEX (centralized exchanges) but also on-chain, in RWA, and in sovereign capital. Solv is turning these 'visible but unreachable' scenarios into a reality that every ordinary user can participate in.
Binance chose Solv, Wall Street invested in Solv, and the Middle Eastern compliance certification has been achieved; I have no reason not to participate.
This is another new era for BTC, and Solv is the one who pressed the 'start button.'
