Solv Protocol Partners with D2 Finance to Launch HyperBera DeFi Vault

On July 13, Solv Protocol's BTC+ contract on BNB Smart Chain experienced a security breach when an attacker compromised the deployer private key and upgraded the minting proxy contract to create unauthorized tokens. **Key Details:** - Emergency response completed within 3 hours - All unauthorized BTC+ tokens frozen, burned, or quarantined - Underlying BTC assets remain fully secure - BTC+ acquired through official Solv channels unaffected **Current Status:** - Subscription and redemption temporarily paused - Redemption expected to resume within two weeks - Final security review underway **Security Measures Implemented:** - Deployer security upgraded - All affected access credentials and signing keys rotated - Comprehensive external re-audit initiated - Investigation ongoing with security partners **Important Reminder:** BTC+ has never had an official liquidity pool on any DEX. Users should only acquire and hold BTC+ through [official Solv channels](https://solv.finance/home). A detailed post-mortem report will be published following the investigation.

Solv Protocol has announced a partnership with Ourbit to bring Bitcoin yield opportunities to Ourbit's user base. **Key Details:** - Ourbit users can now earn yield on their BTC holdings through a flexible earn product - Users simply need to park their Bitcoin assets to start generating returns - The integration is live and available immediately This partnership expands Solv Protocol's reach in the Bitcoin yield market, following their previous $6M funding round led by Blockchain Capital in early 2024. That funding was specifically aimed at enabling BTC staking infrastructure and building tools for Bitcoin holders to earn yield on their assets. The collaboration represents another step in making Bitcoin a productive asset beyond simple holding, allowing users to generate passive income while maintaining custody through Ourbit's platform.

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.
