    4. The Bitcoin-based DeFi industry is expecting changes following the news that BitGo is working with new custodians in Hong Kong and Singapore.

    New Prospects for wBTC

    wBTC provides users with an easy way to utilize Bitcoin, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, in various DeFi protocols. Since its launch in 2019, wBTC has become popular among investors looking to earn yields on their BTC. However, the main issue with wBTC is the necessity to trust the custodian, BitGo. The company has recently announced shifting to a multi-custodian model by partnering with BiT Global in Hong Kong and Singapore.

    Alternatives to wBTC in DeFi

    Beyond wBTC, there are many other ways to use BTC in DeFi. One of these is dlcBTC by DLC.Link, which does not require custodians and uses Taproot-based multisig. Another example is Zeus Network, which has created a decentralized protocol for moving BTC to Solana's DeFi ecosystem. Projects like Stacks and Rootstock also exist, allowing the minting of sBTC and rBTC, while Babylon offers a mechanism to enhance the security of PoS chains.

    The Future of Bitcoin DeFi

    BitGo's decision to bring more custodians may stimulate the development of new projects that offer alternative ways to use BTC in DeFi. With the growth of the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem, a new bull run for the most valuable digital currency might commence.

    The Bitcoin DeFi industry is rapidly evolving and may become a key narrative in the crypto world. With the emergence of new projects and alternatives to wBTC, the future of Bitcoin-based DeFi looks promising and exciting.
