The Rise of Bitcoin Finance
summary
Panelists argue Bitcoin is moving from speculation to plumbing: ETFs hold 1.3 million BTC while only 1.1% of BTC is used in DeFi, so the work is at the access layer. A new trustless MPC extension called PCM NPC is claimed to let users keep custody while enabling multi‑sig‑style web3 access; a product plans a SUI launch by year‑end with Axelar and IBC bridges. Claims include miner liquidity commitments ($1M–$100M) and targetable double‑digit yields.
