Leading decentralized finance pioneer SOLV Protocol has introduced BTC+, a cutting-edge automated yield vault made especially for Bitcoin owners.
With the introduction of BTC+, a major shift has occurred. This shift enables Bitcoin to serve as an asset that generates income in addition to being a store of value.
BTC+ targets the estimated $1 trillion in idle Bitcoin—much of it held by institutions and ETF investors. According to SOLV, over 17,480 BTC, valued at more than $2 billion, is currently locked on its platform, reflecting a surging demand among holders who want their assets to work harder.
How BTC+ Automated Vault Works
At its core, BTC+ offers a base yield of 4.5%–5.5% on deposited Bitcoin. This automatically optimizes returns through a sophisticated blend of strategies:
- DeFi credit markets: Lending and borrowing to maximize return while minimizing risk.
- Protocol staking: Deploying BTC in staking protocols for on-chain rewards.
- Basis arbitrage: Exploiting price differences between spot and derivatives markets.
- Tokenized real-world assets: Channeling BTC into products like BlackRock’s BUIDL fund for diversified, real-world exposure.
One standout feature is the dual-layer architecture, which separates custody (where BTC is safely stored) from execution (where yield strategies deployment occurs). This structure boosts security and makes the vault appealing to both risk-conscious institutions and retail investors.
BTC+ provides real-time, on-chain verification through Chainlink’s Proof-of-Reserves, ensuring that users’ funds are always fully collateralized. Also, NAV-based drawdown protections and built-in risk separation help guard against market ups and downs, making sure users’ money is properly managed.
Additionally, a Shariah-compliant version is available, expanding access for Middle Eastern institutions and anybody else in need of products that follow the rules of Islamic banking.
Leading companies in the sector, such as Binance Labs, Blockchain Capital, Laser Digital, and OKX Ventures, have recognized the innovative approach of SOLV Protocol.This backing enhances SOLV’s reputation as a reliable partner for both institutional and retail yield seekers..
