Echo Protocol, a BTCFi protocol focused on Bitcoin liquidity through cross-chain, liquid staking, and restaking solutions on the Aptos ecosystem, is set to launch its $ECHO token on Binance Alpha and KuCoin on July 2, 2025. The project, backed by prominent investors including Arthur Hayes, Spartan, Selini, and Sats Ventures, is the first Aptos-based initiative to be featured on Binance Alpha. Echo Protocol aims to provide infrastructure for Bitcoin liquidity and yield generation, distinguishing itself from other public chains by delivering practical BTCFi applications. Early participants are expected to receive a 15% token airdrop of the total supply. The launch has been recognized as a key development for the Aptos ecosystem and the broader Web3 space.
