Bitcoin Finance (BTCFi) is迎来前所未有的发展机遇. With the acceleration of traditional financial institutions' adoption of Bitcoin, a Layer 2 solution based on BitVM technology, Bitlayer, has emerged, bringing new vitality to the BTCFi ecosystem.

Bitlayer, as a pioneer of BitVM technology, effectively enhances the liquidity of Bitcoin through innovative cross-chain bridge technology. Data shows that its Total Value Locked (TVL) has grown by 540% over the past year, reaching $433 million, fully reflecting the market's confidence in this technology.

The expansion rate of the BTCFi market is remarkable. It has rapidly grown from $307 million in early 2024 to $6.6 billion by February 2025, and it is expected to soon surpass the $100 billion mark. This growth trend is closely linked to the increasing attention that financial institutions are paying to Bitcoin.

Currently, publicly listed companies hold about 847,000 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $91 billion. The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF manages 1.3 million Bitcoins. Notably, over 30% of circulating Bitcoins are held by centralized entities, including exchanges, ETFs, corporate finance departments, and sovereign funds. At the same time, over 60% of Fortune 500 companies have adopted blockchain technology, and these institutions are seeking compliant yield opportunities.

From the perspective of market potential, if BTCFi can capture 10% of Bitcoin's $1.3 trillion market cap, it could achieve $130 billion in liquidity. Additionally, if institutional ETF funds (about 1.3 million BTC) seek a 3-5% return, it could bring in a potential funding pool of $40-65 billion.

As the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve, the importance of Layer 2 solutions such as Bitlayer is becoming increasingly prominent. These innovations are opening up new application scenarios for Bitcoin, making it not only a means of storing value but also the foundation of a vibrant financial ecosystem.
