Why has Bitlayer attracted widespread market attention in such a short time? The answer lies not only in its technological breakthroughs but also in its strong capital and ecological backing. Over the past year, Bitlayer has raised over $30 million, with investors including top-tier institutions such as Polychain Capital, Franklin Templeton, Framework Ventures, and ABCDE. These names are almost synonymous with 'quality assurance' in the crypto world.
The support from capital means they recognize the future potential of BTCFi. As ETFs push Bitcoin into the mainstream investment market, the demand for on-chain financialization is rapidly rising. Bitlayer has seized this trend—providing a cross-chain bridge (BitVM Bridge) to release BTC liquidity while also supporting various application scenarios through high-performance Rollups.
Moreover, Bitlayer actively collaborates with global mining pools such as Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool, while also connecting to multi-chain ecosystems like Sui, Base, Arbitrum, and Cardano. This strategic layout gives it support from the computational side while covering entry points on the application side.
After ETH-Fi, BTCFi is likely to become the next narrative, and Bitlayer is at the forefront of this track.
