The $2 Trillion Opportunity

Bitcoin remains the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, yet most of it sits idle in wallets. Unlike Ethereum or Solana, Bitcoin's native network wasn't designed for DeFi. This creates a massive opportunity: how can Bitcoin holders participate in decentralized finance without selling their BTC?

Aptos has the answer.

Through innovative bridging solutions like xBTC and WBTC-OFT, Bitcoin holders can now bring their assets to Aptos and tap into a thriving DeFi ecosystem - all while maintaining exposure to Bitcoin's price appreciation.

What is xBTC?

xBTC is a wrapped Bitcoin token on Aptos that represents 1:1 backed Bitcoin. It allows you to:

• Use Bitcoin as collateral for lending and borrowing
• Provide liquidity in DEXs and earn trading fees
• Participate in yield farming strategies
• Access Aptos DeFi protocols without selling your BTC

The bridging process is secure and trustless, ensuring your Bitcoin is always redeemable.

What is WBTC-OFT?

WBTC-OFT (Wrapped Bitcoin - Omnichain Fungible Token) uses LayerZero technology to enable seamless cross-chain Bitcoin transfers. Key benefits include:

• Omnichain compatibility - Move Bitcoin across multiple chains effortlessly
