Several blockchain and finance platforms have introduced new products and ecosystems aimed at unlocking the substantial amount of idle Bitcoin liquidity, estimated at over $154 billion. Avalon Finance launched an on-chain lending product tailored for institutional Bitcoin holders, featuring fixed borrow rates and an overcollateralized structure. Braavos recently integrated Bitcoin support and introduced Bitcoin Earn, allowing users to buy BTC with zero on-ramp fees through Transak until April 24, and earn up to 10% yield with no lockup. Coredao's ecosystem has unlocked $410 million in non-custodial BTC staking within a year and aims to unlock up to $1.8 trillion in idle Bitcoin liquidity by providing a trusted deployment method for BTC on DeFi protocols despite Bitcoin’s limited native programmability. Lombard Finance released a toolkit enabling platforms to offer one-click BTC staking, already integrated with Bybit and Binance. Babylon Labs introduced a dual-staking, non-custodial model that allows Bitcoin to secure networks, earn rewards, and maintain user sovereignty, positioning BTC as a productive asset. Bitcoin staking on Coredao’s network has increased by 24% recently, and the overall assets on the platform have also risen, with CORE staking up 17%. Meanwhile, over 98% of Bitcoin remains idle, though platforms like Braavos and Coredao are working to change this by providing yield-generating opportunities. Additionally, the TAO token staking is in its early stages, with only around 6% of circulating tokens staked. The Aleph network also reported a 4% increase in staked ALEPH tokens since April 1.
