Solv Launches RSL: First Instant-Redemption Yield-Bearing Bitcoin

Solv Protocol, managing over $2B in Bitcoin reserves, has partnered with Utexo to deliver native BTC yield through the Lightning Network. The solution allows liquidity providers to earn routing fees in BTC when users swap between BTC and USDT. **Key features:** - Atomic settlement with full self-custody - No wrappers, bridges, or third-party custodians - Utilizes RGB protocol and Lightning Network infrastructure - Enables BTC/USDT trading pair on Bitcoin's native rails The integration addresses what Solv calls the "Bitcoin Yield Paradox" - institutions seeking BTC yield without compromising Bitcoin's security model. Traditional yield products typically require trusting custodians, bridges, and smart contracts on other chains. By leveraging Lightning Network routing fees from actual network usage, the solution keeps BTC productive while maintaining Bitcoin's base layer security. The partnership aligns with Tether's expansion of USDT issuance on Lightning via RGB.
