BTCfi on Aptos (WBTC) Over $2 trillion worth of Bitcoin is currently sitting idle, unutilized in DeFi but Aptos has a solution for that. Two clear pipelines now connect native Bitcoin to Aptos’ high-performance DeFi layer. 1⃣ OKX’s xBTC offers a custodial route to mint 1:1 BTC on Aptos. 2⃣ @LayerZero_Core WBTC-OFT (NEW): This introduces an omnichain, wrapper-free standard that lets users burn on one chain and mint on another. No lock-ups, no delays, no multiple versions of the same asset just seamless movement of Bitcoin across over 80 chains, now including @Aptos. This adds to real Bitcoin liquidity on Aptos without compromise. The process is simple: users can bridge WBTC via @StargateFinance or swap into it using Aptos DEXs (@hyperion_xyz , @ThalaLabs, @CellanaFinance, @PanoraExchange...). Once on Aptos, WBTC-OFT becomes immediately usable. You can Generate Yields Via; Lending it on @AriesMarkets or LP it on @hyperion_xyz . This isn’t wrapped BTC as we’ve known it this is a better standard and a better yield environment for Bitcoin holders. I also think this is awesome for BTCfi entry for Nigerian's as we can't get our BTC on OKX exchange due to regulatory restrictions. This is onchain and permissionless.
