Over $8B is now locked in Bitcoin-based DeFi protocols, signaling growing institutional interest and mainstream adoption.
As more BTC gets locked into DeFi, the reduced circulating supply could create upward pressure on Bitcoin’s price.
After Bitcoin’s expanding role in decentralized finance (DeFi), CNF reported that over $8 billion is now locked across various protocols, signaling BTC’s shift from a store of value to an active asset for staking, lending, and collateralization.
As shared by Rootstock in a recent tweet, Bitcoin DeFi is growing, and builders are being rewarded for contributing to the ecosystem.
