Bitcoin, which has long been restricted to its role, begins with a decisive breakthrough in the Defi. With the launch of the Peg-BTC (YBTC) token in the SUP network, Bitlayer Batvm Most presents “without a trusted third party” that eliminates the centralized intermediary. This initiative means remarkable development. BTC becomes an asset that is fully usable in decentralized protocols, formerly dominated by native tokens. A new chapter, an interoperable, mobile and now active bitcoin in programmable financing, opens.
In short
- Bitlayer announces the launch of a YBTC, a token supported by Bitcoin, on the blockchain sui across the Bitvm bridge.
- YBTC allows you to mobilize BTC in defi: betting, prepared, loans and exchanges for dex de su.
- The Batvm bridge works without centralized intermediaries and guarantees the safety and transparency of BTC gears.
- Bitlayer aims to put his bridge in other main blockchains such as Arbitrum, Starknet or Cardano.
YBTC: Bridge between Bitcoins and Defi Sur Suis
Bitlayer formalized PEG-BTC (YBTC) on May 15, May 15, through the integration of the Batvm bridge without a trusted third party.
Such an initiative was announced on the official X Bitlayer account:
Bitlayer et Suis integrates the first Batvm Bridge without a trusted third party in the ecosystem of the defi, so Bitcoin productive Sui thanks to YBTC.
Specifically, this synthetic token allows investors to store BTC on Bitlayer to convert it to YBTC suru, which opens up access to various Defi applications in the network.
The functions activated by this running include:
- Participation in playing through native protocols in SU follows and maintains an exhibition at BTC;
- Use in lending and lending that will allow investors to generate return or access to liquidity;
- Exchange to dex de suis, which facilitates direct integration into decentralized markets;
- Protection of the base value 1: 1 K BTC, secured by native locking on Bitlayer.
Since February 2025, shared data suggest that more than 587 BTC has been integrated into the SUPE ecosystem, which is more than 10 % of its TVL. The aim of the introduction of YBTC is to speed up this dynamics by expanding the base of active Bitcoin investors to the defi.
BITM BRIDGE technology: security, interoperability and ambitions with multiple chains
The technological specificity of the project consists of using the Batvm bridge, a bridge solution without a trusted third party. This mechanism, still rare in the BTC ecosystem, allows the native locking of the BTC on the Bitlayer layer before its transformation into YBTC Suis, without passing through centralized mediation agents responsible for maintaining the active substances.
“The Batvm Bridge is designed to eliminate the risks associated with intermediaries and at the same time ensure verification of transactions through evidence architecture”It determines Bitlayer in its technical documentation.
However, the ambition of Batvm bridge significantly exceeds the only case of Suis. Bitlayer already announces the expansion plan towards other main ecosystems such as base, Starknet, Arbitrum, Sonic, Cardano and Plme Network.
This multi-chaînes strategy could allow Peg-BTC to become an interoperable standard for BTC tokenization through different Defi networks. The finalization of bridge audits and tests is underway with the aim in the coming weeks with regard to wider deployment.
If the security of BTC flows is a technological priority, this preliminary challenge challenges the future of the defi. By providing the asset historically perceived as passive, Bitlayer transforms the nature of bitcoin into the dynamics of yield and liquidity. Increasing involvement of actors such as Suis in this dynamics suggests that BTCFI is in the process of structuring into an autonomous segment with its own standards, products and logic management. In this context, interoperability could quickly become an essential standard for a multi -connected ecosystem.
