The Bitcoin-Backed Stablecoin That Ditches US Treasuries

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

Claims a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin built on Liquity principles plus a Bitcoin ZK rollup that avoids US Treasury backing. Uses Bitcoin as collateral with up to 90% loan to value (110% collateral requirement), Liquity V1 proved immutable and maintained a $1 peg while offering 0% borrow cost; liquidations use a stability pool that burns stablecoins to absorb discounted BTC collateral. Liquity V2 adds user-set interest; remaining friction is a trust-minimized ZK bridge from Bitcoin into the expressive L2.
