Bitcoin DeFi is finally breaking out of the sandbox.
What we're seeing now: native BTC that can actually move across chains without wrapped compromises, and infrastructure that turns dormant Bitcoin into a working asset. One protocol is handling the cross-chain heavy lifting, making BTC interoperable everywhere. Another built the trading layer—giving that bridged Bitcoin somewhere to earn yield, swap, and tap into real onchain liquidity with sustainable fee models.

From idle to liquid. That's the shift.
