  4. Bitcoin layer-2 network Mezo, aiming to expand the decentralized finance (DeFi) market on the blockchain, has launched its new liquid-staked Bitcoin token, stBTC.

    Launch of stBTC Token

    The introduction of stBTC brings Bitcoin (BTC) yield to Mezo, the Pantera-backed project. StBTC is a token backed 1:1 with tBTC, the Bitcoin bridge token powered by The Threshold Network. Users can now mint stBTC against their Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and tBTC, a Bitcoin-backed token that allows holders to participate in Ethereum DeFi applications.

    Expanding BitcoinFi

    Mezo claims that depositing WBTC and tBTC on Mezo and minting stBTC will allow users to earn yield across DeFi apps in the growing Bitcoin DeFi space. BTC holders can mint the liquid-staked token and leverage its benefits on Curve Finance while maintaining exposure to their bitcoins.

    Quote: “As early HODLers, many of us have watched our Bitcoin grow in value over the years. But we’ve also watched DeFi unfold, often feeling like we had to choose between holding our Bitcoin and participating in these new financial opportunities.” — Mezo on X.

    Future Plans

    According to Mezo, decentralized exchanges, lending markets, and Bitcoin L2 platforms that have deployed tBTC include Morpho Protocol, Silo Finance, Beefy, and Velodrome. The team plans to expand to top DeFi and DEX platforms, including Aave, GMX, and Synthetix.

    Thesis, the venture studio behind projects such as AcreBTC, Fold Bitcoin, and Taho, is also the developer of Mezo.

    The launch of the new stBTC token by Bitcoin layer-2 network Mezo marks a significant step in expanding DeFi opportunities for Bitcoin holders, enabling them to participate in new financial platforms while maintaining their Bitcoin assets.
