👩🌾 $BTC still controls over half of the entire crypto market cap but it has zero native yield.
Meanwhile, TradFi spent decades perfecting yield systems and right now:
+ Only 8–11% of crypto assets generate yield
+ TradFi sits at 55–65%
That’s a 5–6× gap, meaning crypto’s yield layer is still super early. 💟
But concepts like Yield-bearing assets (YBAs) are taking off:
+ $ETH and $SOL LSTs already make up ~30% of deposits on AAVE, Morpho, Kamino
The only problem is BTC’s yield layer is still tiny and that’s where Yield-Bearing Bitcoin (YBB) comes in.
Babylon is unlocking native BTC staking without any wrapping or bridging. 👩🌾
And BTC LSTs like LBTC (@Lombard_Finance) and solvBTC (@SolvProtocol) turn staked $BTC into liquid assets you can actually use across DeFi. 🪙
The next phase is simple:
BTC earns yield → stays liquid → becomes a true DeFi asset. 🩷👩🌾
