If the story of Bitcoin over the past decade is 'digital gold', then the next decade is likely to be 'the financialization of Bitcoin'. The key force driving this change is projects like Bitlayer.
Traditional financial institutions and publicly traded companies have begun to hold BTC on a large scale, but their demand is not just for 'hoarding coins', but for how to generate returns from BTC. The BTCFi narrative from Bitlayer precisely responds to this trend: opening liquidity channels through the BitVM Bridge and leveraging Rollup to support various financial applications, ultimately making BTC a programmable and appreciating asset.
At the same time, Bitlayer also transforms BTC into a token that can circulate across multiple chains through native asset models like YBTC. This means that Bitcoin is no longer an isolated ecosystem, but can interact with public chains like Ethereum and Solana, promoting the prosperity of cross-chain financial markets.
This narrative not only attracts capital but also provides users with tangible opportunities. For the entire industry, Bitlayer may be opening a new chapter — making Bitcoin truly the cornerstone of global finance, rather than just being a passively stored 'gold'.
