The launch of SolvBTC on major EVM-compatible blockchains is a remarkable milestone for the Bitcoin ($BTC) ecosystem and Web3 as such. It unlocks attractive investing opportunities for holders of idle $BTC in on-chain wallets.
SolvBTC by Solv kicks off on Ethereum, Arbitrum, $BNB Chain and Merlin Chain
The team of Solv has announced the release of SolvBTC, the first yield-bearing $BTC token for the omnichain landscape. Backed by a diverse delta-neutral portfolio, SolvBTC can provide $BTC-based yields of 5-10%.

In an inaugural mainnet release, the token is set to debut on Ethereum, Arbitrum, $BNB Chain and Merlin Chain. In the coming months, SolvBTC will subsequently expand to other networks, making it a true omnichain asset.
By integrating with protocols on each blockchain where it is available, SolvBTC will unlock opportunities to earn native yield. As a result, $BTC holders will be able to increase the value of their assets.
Developed to address the challenges of billions of dollars in $BTC lying idle, SolvBTC provides an incentive for Bitcoiners to participate in DeFi and access its yield generating opportunities.
Technically, SolvBTC is controlled by a secure trading strategy vault, which executes delta-neutral strategies across protocols such as GMX, Curve and Aave.
As covered by U.Today previously, Binance-backed Solv introduced a number of eccentric concepts for Web3, including financial NFTs and convertible vouchers.
Further $APR increase is on menu
As SolvBTC expands to new blockchain ecosystems, it will be able to take advantage of opportunities for earning native yield, further boosting the $APR available to holders.
To bootstrap initial adoption and accelerate the growth of Bitcoin DeFi, Solv intends to launch a points system that will reward early holders of SolvBTC.
The release of SolvBTC will serve as a catalyst for Bitcoin DeFi, stimulating real yield that will provide greater economic opportunities for $BTC holders across the entire omnichain landscape.
Thanks to various initiatives within the Solv ecosystem, liquidity providers earned over $6.7 million in equivalent.
