Bitcoin's trillion-dollar status presents a significant opportunity to unlock idle liquidity through Bitcoin DeFi (BTCFi). This emerging ecosystem aims to bring decentralized finance capabilities to the Bitcoin network.
- Chainlink users like dlcBTC and SolvProtocol are at the forefront, enabling new DeFi functionalities on Bitcoin.
- BTCFi could potentially allow Bitcoin holders to access various financial services without selling their BTC.
- Similar to BTCB on BNB Chain, BTCFi may offer:
- Lending
- Borrowing
- Yield farming
- Other DeFi applications
The development of BTCFi could mark a significant evolution in Bitcoin's utility beyond a store of value.
