🧠 A brief summary of the message from @Lombard_Finance: Bitcoin is the most important asset of our time, but it is still... "locked up." Although it has inspired an entire on-chain financial ecosystem worth trillions of dollars, BTC remains almost sidelined, mostly sitting in cold wallets, lacking the infrastructure to participate in the on-chain economy. #Lombard was created to change that. 👇
For 16 years, Bitcoin has been the most important asset in crypto - and the most underutilized. Lombard’s roadmap aims to bring Bitcoin to life: a multi-phased approach to build the infrastructure and liquidity to enable a Bitcoin-based economy. Here’s how.👇
With a 3-phase strategy: - Activate liquidity with the profit-generating LBTC version of BTC, currently having a TVL > $2B. - Build middleware infrastructure to help BTC interact with all ecosystems (cross-chain, SDK, marketplace, financial products, etc.). - Initiate an on-chain economy for Bitcoin, opening up a permissionless playground like what Ethereum is achieving.
👀 Sherry's personal perspective: Bitcoin has reached the milestone of $120,000, a landmark that has caught the world's attention. But what excites me even more is that many organizations and builders are truly serious about building a financial infrastructure around BTC. Lombard is not just a DeFi product; it is becoming the core infrastructure for Bitcoin to take on a central role in the new financial system:
🔹 LBTC shows that BTC can generate profits, circulate, and become useful. 🔹 They are directly integrated into rapidly developing ecosystems like @berachain, @pendle_fi, @eigenlayer. 🔹 And most importantly, @Lombard_Finance is addressing the liquidity & distribution problem, similar to how @Tether_to and @circle do for stablecoins.
In the context where BTC has proven its position as "digital gold," the next step is to turn it into the operational foundation of the entire on-chain economy. For me, #Lombard is the missing piece to make that a reality. It's no longer about "DeFi for Ethereum" or "Layer 2 for Solana"; this is the time for DeFi to truly belong to Bitcoin. If you are looking for investment opportunities, building, or collaborating on a big narrative, Bitcoin Capital Markets is something you should pay attention to right now. Lombard is not just a project; it is a movement. 🚀 And the rebranding transformation of Lombard is just the beginning. 💚
