Protocol Updates
cbBTC Surpasses $2 Billion on Morpho
cbBTC deposits on Morpho have now exceeded $2 billion, representing more than one-third of cbBTC’s total market cap. The milestone highlights how quickly tokenized Bitcoin has been adopted in DeFi, with Morpho serving as a core venue for its yield opportunities. Deep liquidity and growing demand suggest cbBTC will remain a key driver of BTC integration into money markets.
Seamless Leverage Tokens Expand to Ethereum Mainnet
Seamless Protocol is bringing its Leverage Tokens to Ethereum Mainnet after rapid adoption on Base. The product simplifies leveraged strategies by automating position management and tokenizing exposure, a design that resonated with users and helped Seamless become the second-largest ETH borrow market on Morpho Base within weeks. Mainnet unlocks greater liquidity, partners, and infrastructure, setting the stage for broader scalability and product-market fit.
Lombard Finance brings LBTC, yield-bearing BTC, to Solana
Lombard launched LBTC on Solana, a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed token with native yield. DeFi ecosystem adoption is strong, with integrations spanning Jupiter, Drift, Kamino, and Meteora. LBTC surpassed $8 billion in TVL within 92 days, marking a significant step in bridging legacy crypto assets and modern DeFi.
