Bitcoin holds over $1 trillion in value, yet most of it remains locked up—disconnected from the broader DeFi ecosystem. That's a massive pool of capital sitting on the sidelines.

Now there's a push to bridge that gap. Some protocols are working on omnichain infrastructure designed to unlock BTC liquidity and route it into yield-generating opportunities across Base, Solana, and emerging Layer 2 networks.

The concept? Turn Bitcoin into an active participant in DeFi rather than just a passive store of value. If executed well, cross-chain liquidity layers could fundamentally reshape how BTC interacts with decentralized finance—opening doors to lending, staking, and liquidity provision without requiring users to abandon the Bitcoin network entirely.

Still early days, but the infrastructure is taking shape. Whether it gains traction depends on security, adoption, and how seamlessly these bridges can operate across fragmented ecosystems.
