Mezo Earn's 200 BTC capacity is filling up, with over 100 BTC already locked and earning 4% APY in native Bitcoin.
The platform enables Bitcoin holders to earn yield without wrapping or moving their BTC off the Bitcoin network. Users need to:
- Lock their BTC
- Vote weekly
- Claim rewards
Community members received over $12,000 in BTC last week for participating. The program represents a shift from passive holding to what Mezo calls "productive HODLing" - earning native BTC yield while maintaining custody.
Mezo inverts the model. When you lock $MEZO, you aren't just holding a token. You’re gaining a say in how the desk allocates fees and incentives. You aren't just using a bank; you are building the infrastructure of the new Bitcoin economy. 🟠
Lock BTC for veBTC to secure the base yield and earn protocol fees. Want to supercharge earnings? Lock MEZO for veMEZO to unlock up to a 5x boost. Your total voting power is the sum of both. The more MEZO locked, the more BTC earned.

Bitcoin Lending Gets Simpler: 1% Rates vs Traditional 5-8%
A new Bitcoin lending service is launching with three key features: - **One-click borrowing** for retail users with no bridge requirements - **Custody-compatible infrastructure** allowing institutions to access credit while keeping BTC in qualified custody - **Prime rates at 1%** compared to 5-8% charged by traditional brokers This follows Coinbase's earlier rollout of Bitcoin-backed loans to US users (excluding NY), which saw $100M USDC borrowed in under 100 days at rates starting from 5%.
Mezo Introduces Ownership Model for Bitcoin Lending
Mezo is launching a new approach to crypto lending that differs from traditional models. **Key Changes:** - Traditional lending desks operate on the "Cantillon Model" - offering privileged access to cheap money - Mezo's "Ownership Model" transforms depositors into stakeholders - Users who lock $MEZO tokens gain voting rights on fee allocation and incentive distribution **What This Means:** The platform aims to align incentives between lenders and borrowers from the start, rather than maintaining the traditional separation between service providers and users. Mezo positions this as infrastructure development for Bitcoin's financial ecosystem.
Counterparty Crisis Exposes Rehypothecation Risks in Crypto Lending
The crypto industry is grappling with a **counterparty crisis** as traditional finance prime brokers and centralized finance platforms engage in rehypothecation practices. **What's happening:** - Platforms are taking customer Bitcoin and lending it out to fund their own trading positions - Customers bear the risk while platforms profit from these activities - This practice mirrors issues that led to previous CEFI platform failures **The core problem:** Rehypothecation creates a chain of dependencies where your assets are used as collateral multiple times over. When markets turn volatile or platforms make bad bets, customers' funds become vulnerable. **Why it matters:** Bitcoin was designed to remove intermediaries and give users direct control over their assets. Current practices by centralized platforms contradict this fundamental principle, reintroducing the same counterparty risks that blockchain technology aimed to eliminate. The situation highlights the ongoing tension between decentralized ideals and centralized business models in crypto.
Fixed Rate Drops to Historic 1% Low
A new **1% fixed rate** offering has emerged, significantly undercutting traditional banking options and previous rates. **Key Details:** - Fixed rate now at 1%, down from 3.2% earlier - Available across any maturity period - Positioned as alternative to conventional bank branches This represents a dramatic shift in the fixed-rate lending landscape, with rates dropping by over two-thirds in recent months. The offering appears designed to challenge traditional financial institutions by providing more competitive terms than typically available at physical bank locations. The consistent messaging around branch comparison suggests a direct play for customers frustrated with legacy banking rates.
