Bitcoin Defi boom strengthens the position of SUI
Bitcoin Defi has grown massively since 2024, with $ 6.5 billion TVL in BTCFI protocols until January 2025. Defill the sector of $ 307 million grew by 2000% in early 2024. Of this, 80 % of this accounted for Babylon, which corresponds to the prediction of Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson about Bitcoin’s dominance in Defi.
Sui’s entry into this booming sector takes place at the right time. The TVL in the network rose by 50 % to $ 1.8 billion last month. Over 10% of them are now Bitcoin and assets derived from it. In addition, Sui achieved an all-time high of $ 888 million on StableCoin inflows on May 1st.
The introduction of SBTC becomes more accessible, since Bitcoin owners no longer have to rely on centralized storage. SBTC uses the Smart Contract capabilities of the Stack Layer-2 network and enables seamless transitions between the basic and extended Bitcoin network. Bitgo, which now supports SBTC, reported that withdrawals between the layers will be possible by the end of April 2025.
Bitgo has processed a volume of over $ 3 trillion and $ 48 billion on assets used. With SBTC, Defi is now also made accessible to institutional Bitcoin owners. The token has a Smart Contract Governance and a validator-supported final, so that it matches the trustless principles of Bitcoin.
Stacks founder Muneneeb Ali described sbtc as “the safest, decentralized way” to make Bitcoin productive. He said that SUIS defi activity makes it the perfect partner for these efforts.
