Bitcoin is a $1.9 trillion asset, and less than 0.5% of it participates in DeFi. 99% sits economically idle, and not because people don't want to use it, but because public finance has limits. STRK20s fix that. Privacy that works for crypto.

🇺🇸DAVID SACKS: BITCOIN IS SPECIAL “Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency - it’s the only one that doesn't have an issuer; it's very decentralized. It has a $2 trillion market cap and it's the most secure - it's never been hacked. We're now over 15 years into this journey, and there's been a lot of people who've been skeptical along the way, and there's been a lot of ups and downs, but here it is.” Source: The All-In Podcast, David Sacks

Bitcoin's biggest challenge is scalability. StarkWare has a vision to change that. The concept of STARK scaling for blockchains was first introduced by Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io at a Bitcoin conference in early 2013. It's now time to scale Bitcoin with ZK-STARK, making it more accessible to everyone. The overarching goal: to transform Starknet (Privacy Arc) to be a self-custodial decentralized L2 with full functionality over both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Hear more about the vision:

🚨 BITCOIN AND LIQUIDITY ARE MOVING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS This isn't normal, and it's not something we see very often. Global liquidity and BTC have historically been very correlated. The more money we have in the economy → the more money can flow into Bitcoin. It has nearly always been correlated like clockwork. Right now, they are polar opposites. This is a hidden opportunity. The gap always closes.

🔊🔊 Bitcoin is entering the On-Chain Era with Lombard 💥 While more than 90% of #BTC remains “frozen” in cold wallets, Lombard has brought $3B BTC on-chain — making Bitcoin, for the first time, both secure and yield-bearing, while opening the door to an entire DeFi ecosystem built around $BTC. ⚡️ How it works: BTC → LBTC ✔️ Users deposit BTC into Lombard. ✔️ The system mints LBTC — an on-chain, 1:1 backed version of Bitcoin. ✔️ The underlying BTC is staked via Babylon’s Bitcoin Staking Protocol, generating sustainable yield. 🚩 What makes it unique: LBTC automatically accrues yield in native BTC — no reward claims, no swapping into secondary tokens. This is the breakthrough that lets Bitcoin truly operate in DeFi. 💎 LBTC in DeFi LBTC isn’t just “wrapped BTC” — it’s a multi-chain asset: ✔️ Use it as collateral to borrow stablecoins. ✔️ Provide liquidity in cross-chain pools. ✔️ Deploy into strategies via Lombard’s DeFi Marketplace, optimizing yield without hunting across protocols yourself. 🚩The result: for the first time, BTC flows and performs like ETH or stablecoins in DeFi. 📣 $BARD – the power of the ecosystem ✔️ BARD secures LBTC’s cross-chain bridge through staking. ✔️ Grants governance rights and product steering. ✔️ Unlocks exclusive community benefits (early access, partner deals, event invites). 🚩 #BARD is more than a utility token — it’s the glue that unites users, builders, and partners. 🔒 Security & Transparency Lombard builds trust through: ✔️ Lombard Security Consortium – a collective of top institutions ensuring protocol safety. ✔️ Lombard Ledger – transparent reserves and on-chain operations. ✔️ Regular audits & proof-of-reserve verifications. 🚩 BTC is moving on-chain — but still true to its philosophy: secure, transparent, and decentralized.a

In the traditional system it’s hard to jump classes. Bitcoin gives ordinary people a real shot to build wealth and change their lives.” - Kevin🌿, Core Contributor at GOAT Network 🟡 Bitcoin is open, scarce, and permissionless - so you don’t need to be “accredited” or plugged into legacy finance to participate. In Las Vegas, Kevin Liu explained how most people don’t want to sell their BTC; they want it to work for them. That’s where sustainable, Bitcoin-native yield matters. GOAT Network’s approach is to keep things on Bitcoin’s rails and align incentives. Users keep self-custody and can park BTC in a time-locked “safebox.” Instead of speculative rewards, yield is sourced from the network’s real usage: as on-chain activity grows, fees/revenue are shared back to participants. More activity → more revenue → more yield - without relying on token emissions or hidden leverage. It’s a path to turning idle BTC into a productive asset while staying aligned with Bitcoin’s security model. Watch the full conversation to see how this model works and what it could do for you (not financial advice):

VanEck CEO Jan van Eck on CNBC: “There’s something else going on within the Bitcoin community that non-crypto people need to know about. And that is: ultimately, VanEck has been around before Bitcoin. We will walk away from Bitcoin if we think the thesis is fundamentally broken. We don’t right now, but you always have to look at the underlying technology and the crypto. What the Bitcoin community has been asking itself is: Is there enough encryption in Bitcoin, because quantum computing is coming? And secondly: Is there enough privacy in Bitcoin? And so a lot of Bitcoin OGs or maxis have been looking at Zcash. Zcash is a token. It’s sort of related to Bitcoin with a lot more privacy. The kind of garbage that we got about Bitcoin four years ago was: ‘It’s used for all bad illicit behavior.’ But now everyone kind of realizes that when you move money around on the Bitcoin blockchain, you can see it. You can see it move from one wallet to another. And a lot of people are looking for more privacy.”

When even Bitcoin Maxis start getting humbled, you know something’s shifting 👇🚨 In this clip, former Ripple $XRP dev Matt Hamilton confronts BTC bull DaVinci with cold, undeniable facts. Including XRP’s original goal: To tokenize Bitcoin and fix what it couldn’t. Let that settle for a second. XRP wasn’t created to compete with Bitcoin, it was created to make it usable. Imagine this, you’ve spent years holding onto the “Bitcoin is perfect” narrative, only to realize XRP’s tech has already solved the problems BTC still struggles with: speed, scalability, and actual utility. I’ve watched people ignore XRP for a decade. But now? We’re watching Bitcoin influencers get red-pilled live on camera. This matters because it marks a turning point. The XRP vs BTC debate is no longer tribal, it’s becoming factual. And the facts are stacking in $XRP favor. What if the coin you mocked is the one that ends up moving the world’s money?

Most people think about Bitcoin treasury companies incorrectly Here is why I think they are good for Bitcoin & why they are misunderstood: 1) Treasury companies are capitalizing the Bitcoin industry for a century to come 2) They are future Bitcoin Banks 3) However, they are developing in the reverse order compared to everything else - monetization first and then later on core business activities -- Bitcoin has traditionally received $1 for every $100 in funds that Crypto took in - it has historically been challenging to raise money for Bitcoin focused businesses. My view is that Treasury companies are changing this, and while the first phase will simply be acquiring as much Bitcoin as possible - they will later need to ensure the value of Bitcoin grows and find ways to use BTC as capital in a larger marketplace. These firms will become the future Bitcoin Banks and also Bitcoin conglomerates. In this exact moment in time the best use of capital is simply buying Bitcoin. It's hard to meaningfully outperform BTC, and as such all these businesses will do for a while is acquire BTC. But eventually that shifts, and these firms will see more incentive to both grow and deploy Bitcoin. They then will provide capital which, among other things, supports Bitcoin businesses and projects. Many people struggle to contextualize the current "land rush" phase with what will come later. You need to take a longer view to understand these firms. The order of operations is also reversed here. Typically you build a business or technology and then as a final step monetize it via an IPO. With Bitcoin, stage 1 is looking more like direct monetization prior to creating value via products, etc. This is deeply counter intuitive to many people in traditional finance, and also to many Bitcoiners. However, because Bitcoin is primarily money at a base level it makes sense the developmental path it is taking differs significantly from other tech. The amount of time it will take for other investors to understand this presents an opportunity for those who see it sooner. More thoughts below 👇

In our recent episode with StarkWare 🥷 & Zcash 🛡️ Co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io, we discuss Starknet (Privacy Arc)'s Bitcoin initiative as a return to first principles. Eli explains how Bitcoin today functions more like gold or real estate - a powerful store of value that mostly sits idle. To unlock lending, borrowing, and broader economic activity without leaving Bitcoin’s trust model, the system needs scalability, better UX, and expressive programmability. He argues that ZK-STARKs are the end-state for achieving this: a way to extend Bitcoin while preserving its core values of self-custody, decentralization, and censorship-resistance. This is the driver behind Starkware’s renewed focus on Bitcoin - bringing the same proof-based scalability used on Ethereum directly to Bitcoin infrastructure. For Eli, this isn’t a pivot; it’s the completion of a vision he first outlined in 2013: scaling Bitcoin with ZK proofs, the Bitcoin way. Tune in to the full episode at

BITCOIN RAILS #41 | Bitcoin Native Staking: When Trust Becomes the Bottleneck | with Babylon founder David Tse 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: “99% of Bitcoin is held idle, not because of lack of interest, but because of lack of trust.” Not long after Ordinals (and BRC20) revitalized the “Bitcoin DeFi” narrative, Babylon seemingly leapt onto the scene with what felt like overnight success – locking several billion dollars of TVL in its “trustless Bitcoin staking” protocol. With some of the most interesting advisors and contributors in the space (...seriously, what other projects can claim both domo and яobin linus as collaborators?), Babylon quickly became a “BTC-Fi” Goliath – converting both Bitcoin Season 2 types and formerly staunch ETH maxis alike. In this episode, I sit down with creator David Tse to get the protocol's birth story - and learn how POS staking became the first truly trustless Bitcoin DeFi application in the world. In this episode, we cover: - Why smaller POS chains need better security… and how Bitcoin liquidity may be the answer to securing experimental chains in smaller ecosystems - How David’s former experiences in the Cosmos ecosystem informed the core thesis of using Bitcoin to secure smaller chains - A quick breakdown of Babylon’s staking architecture - and what exactly makes it “trustless” - Babylon’s relationship with BitVM, and the team’s lesser-known contributions to both BitVM2 and BitVM3 (Fun Fact: David Tse is яobin linus's PhD advisor at Stanford 🧑‍🎓) - Why Bitcoiners didn’t want to stake their Bitcoin for yield until now... and how the "trustlessness" thesis is already panning out (with 1 whale dropping a whopping 10K Bitcoin in the protocol just a few months back!) Bitcoin Rails is powered by: - Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳) — the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing. - Spark (Lightspark) — a Statechains implementation advancing Bitcoin-powered payments. - Citrea (Citrea) — the leading Bitcoin rollup technology and BitVM alliance contributor. 📌 Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:38 Bitcoin++ Insights 01:52 David’s Background and Information Theory 05:34 Journey into Bitcoin and Blockchain 07:34 Scaling Bitcoin with Prism Protocol 10:38 Babylon and Cosmos Ecosystem 13:51 Bitcoin Staking and Security Mechanisms 24:49 The Importance of Reputation in Crypto 25:51 Partners and Announcements Break 27:25 Profile of Babylon Stakers 29:17 The Grand Vision for Babylon 32:40 Garbled Circuits and Secret Revelation 44:05 Trustless Bitcoin Vaults and Future Prospects

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Enosys Loans, a friendly fork of Liquity V2 by Liquity, deployed on the Flare ☀️. This marks a historic milestone in the DeFi landscape as the first-ever Collateralized Debt Position (CDP) protocol to leverage XRP (FXRP) as collateral to mint a stablecoin. Initially supporting FXRP and wFLR as collateral - but with plans to expand support to include staked XRP (stXRP from Firelight ), FBTC (Bitcoin bridged to Flare), and other assets - Enosys Loans is poised to unlock unprecedented utility for major cryptocurrencies like XRP and Bitcoin in decentralized finance. By harnessing Flare’s advanced infrastructure, including the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) for decentralized collateral pricing, Enosys Loans is set to redefine how non-smart contract assets participate in DeFi. Unlocking DeFi for XRP For the first time, XRP holders can use their assets as collateral in a CDP to mint a new stablecoin, enabling participation in DeFi applications such as lending, borrowing, and yield generation while still maintaining exposure to the underlying FXRP. This is a transformative step for XRP, which, due to the XRP Ledger’s lack of native smart contract functionality, has historically been excluded from the broader DeFi ecosystem. The planned inclusion of FBTC will further extend this capability to Bitcoin, unlocking the potential of two of the most valuable cryptocurrencies-representing trillions in market capitalization-for DeFi use cases. A Friendly Fork of Liquity V2: Proven and Enhanced Enosys Loans builds on the robust foundation of Liquity V2, a leading CDP protocol on Ethereum known for its efficiency, low fees, and user controlled interest rates. By forking Liquity V2, Enosys inherits its battle-tested mechanics while tailoring the protocol to Flare’s unique capabilities. This friendly fork enhances Liquity’s model by integrating Flare’s decentralized infrastructure, ensuring Enosys Loans is optimized for scalability, security, and interoperability. Flare FTSO: Decentralized and Reliable Price Feeds A cornerstone of Enosys Loans is its use of the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) for decentralized collateral pricing. Unlike traditional oracles that may rely on centralized data sources, FTSO aggregates price feeds from independent signal providers, delivering highly accurate and tamper-resistant data for assets like FXRP and FBTC. This ensures that Enosys Loans maintains precise collateral-to-debt ratios, protecting users from volatility and enabling trustless, secure borrowing. With the FTSO’s ability to scale to thousands of data feeds (as seen with FTSO V2), Enosys Loans is future-proofed for supporting an expanding range of collateral types. Delegation Rewards and FlareDrops In keeping with the Enosys ethos, all wFLR that is used as collateral will be delegated on the owners behalf. This wFLR will receive delegation rewards and FlareDrops which will be claimable by the owner when distributed by the Flare systems. Expanding Collateral Options Enosys Loans will initially support FXRP and wFLR as collateral, enabling XRP holders to mint a stablecoin for use in Flare’s DeFi ecosystem. However, the protocol’s roadmap includes support for stXRP, FBTC, and other F-Assets, creating a versatile platform that caters to diverse user needs. This expansion will position Enosys Loans as a multi-asset CDP, allowing users to leverage a variety of high-value cryptocurrencies while maintaining the protocol’s decentralized and trustless ethos.

Watching Strategy accumulate Bitcoin in real time is insane... 4.6 BTC per minute so far today. A few days ago we surpassed 20,000,000 Bitcoin meaning there are less than 999,956 BTC left. People haven't done the math. Michael Saylor has figured out the product that 1% of a $300 trillion bond market is going to want. Satoshi Nakamoto figured out how to make peer to peer electronic cash. Michael Michael Saylor has finally figured out how to dig a channel in the ground from the massive ocean of endless fiat money so that gravity can do the work for water to flow into the kiddie pool that is Bitcoin. STRC is still only $3.8 billion and 1% of $300 trillion is $3 trillion... This Bitcoin price is not sustainable. STRC accumulated now well over 1,100 BTC today. There are less than a million Bitcoin to be issued and a handful of million that can be sold. What happens after 1,000 trading days? Bitcoin is infinity divisible so we won't run out or lose volume, but price must go up. What happens when a major world government simply "copy+paste" this for it's own sovereign debt+currency? The playbook is literally right here in real time. The demand is insatiable because you can print currency forever. "The first country that prints it's own currency for Bitcoin wins." - Michael Saylor
