Bitlayer, the Bitcoin Layer 2 network based on BitVM technology has partnered with the Sui blockchain to increase the utility of Bitcoin in the Sui ecosystem, Coindesk reported on May 15. Sui will integrate Bitlayer's BitVM Bridge to launch the Bitcoin-anchored token Peg-BTC (YBTC) on its platform. This allows Bitcoin holders to transfer their BTC to the Sui chain via BitVM Bridge. Its bridging version, Peg-BTC, can then be used in Sui's DeFi ecosystem to earn additional revenue. Charlie Hu, co-founder of Bitlayer, said: "Bitcoin's dominance as a store of value is unparalleled, but its utility in DeFi remains to be explored. By integrating Bitcoin's liquidity into Sui's ecosystem, Peg-BTC (YBTC) allows users to earn while maintaining direct exposure to the value of BTC – a model shift for BTCFi." BitcoinFi, which allows BTC users to earn additional revenue through DeFi, was one of the hottest topics previously at the Token2049 conference in Dubai. Franklin Tamburton (Franklin Templeton) expressed support for BitcoinFi at the event, saying it will boost BTC's appeal outside of the long-standing store-of-value discourse. Bitlayer is Layer 2 built on the BitVM paradigm with Bitcoin-level security, designed to bring smart contract functionality to the Bitcoin network without compromising its core consensus. It relies on off-chain operations and on-chain fraud proofs to keep the network secure and decentralized. Bitlayer's BitVM Bridge is a BitVM-powered zk cross-chain bridge that facilitates the safe and reliable transfer of BTC to different blockchain ecosystems without relying on centralized intermediaries or middlemen. It is designed with a minimum of trust and is designed to be highly secure and decentralized. Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to providing high-speed and low-cost transactions through parallel processing. At the time of writing, its DeFi ecosystem consists of 49 projects with more than $2 billion in TVL, according to DeFiLlama data. Integrating Peg-BTC (YBTC) into the Sui ecosystem opens up several new opportunities for users, such as staking Peg-BTC through various Bitcoin staking protocols to earn interest. Users can also lend or borrow Peg-BTC to earn income, or use it as collateral for loans. In addition, Peg-BTC can be traded on (DEX), a popular decentralized exchange within Sui, allowing users to exchange and provide liquidity to earn transaction fees. Charlie Hu said they plan to work with the most attractive top-tier protocols in the Sui ecosystem in terms of total lock-up value (TVL), fully diluted valuation (FDV) and user base. (CPO) Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and product director of Mysten Labs, the company behind Sui, said they are taking a holistic approach to meeting the growing demand for BitcoinFi. Abiodun told CoinDesk: "Sui is taking a holistic approach to bringing the full suite of infrastructure and BTCFi asset options to the ecosystem, including staking, re-staking, bridging integration, WBTC, sBTC, and the upcoming Peg-BTC (YBTC). The market expects Bitcoin to do more than just hold it, and the demand is growing." Abiodun added: "Bitlayer's BitVM Brige is a key integration that allows Bitcoin holders to earn money on Sui, participate in DeFi and put their assets into operation, transforming their experience." Abiodun concluded: "BTC assets have accounted for more than 10% of the Sui ecosystem TVL to date, and more than 587 BTC have flowed into Sui's DeFi ecosystem since February. With support for leading BTCFi integrations, Sui's advanced programmability activates the utility of Bitcoin, allowing users to move beyond mere holding to a secure and high-performance chain."
