Bitcoin holders can benefit from DeFi in this way

Bitcoin is back at an all-time high (ATH), making it even easier for holders to take advantage of the lucrative opportunities DeFi offers to investors who are ready to use their tokens.

On October 19, the first Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) attracted the attention of numerous news outlets and major media outlets.

Despite the fact that this ETF will not hold a physical Bitcoin, but rather a futures-based instrument, investors and experts across the ecosystem have hailed its launch as evidence that Bitcoin has had some success and will soon see its price target of $ 100,000 will surpass.

Many investors will not have access or will choose not to interact with the relaunched ETF, but holders can still use a variety of strategies to capitalize on their BTC holdings.

Here are some strategies BTC owners can use to make a profit.

BadgerDAO supports Bitcoin integration in DeFi

BadgerDAO is an open source protocol built on top of the Ethereum network and its specific goal is to build the necessary products and infrastructures to facilitate the integration of Bitcoin into DeFi.

Currently, BadgerDAO has the largest number of pools associated with BTC for investors to provide liquidity to.

As can be seen in the image above from the BadgerDAO dashboard, there are services that range from simply staking wrapped BTC (wBTC) which can yield a return of 1.22% to 27.98% depending on the stake (LP ) Strategies like the renBTC / wBTC / sBTC pool, which offer returns from 7.07% to 45.37%.

It is important to note that there are risks associated with packaging BTC and RenVM as users will have to give up control of the original BTC in order to receive wBTC or renBTC and violate the “not your key” cryptocurrency code. , not your cryptocurrency.

For LP tokens that pair BTC with other cryptocurrencies like Ether (ETH), BADGER, or stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC), holders must also consider the possibility of temporary losses to the token it is paired with.

Dealer Joe

According to Defi Llama, Trader Joe is the largest Total Value Locked (TVL) decentralized exchange on the Avalanche network with assets of $ 2.3 billion.

The use of wBTC in the Avalanche Network requires another layer wrapping that wBTC.e generates, which can then be traded on the network or used to provide liquidity.

At the time of writing, Trader Joe is offering returns on three LP tokens, including a 26.223% return for the wBTC.e / AVAX pair, 16% for the wBTC.e / USDC.e pair, and 11.9% for the Pair wBTC.e / USDT.e pair. All rewards are paid in the protocol’s native JOE token.

Raydium

Raydium is the top-rated DeFi protocol on the Solana network based on data from Defi Llama and currently has $ 1.77 billion in TVL.

Similar to the Bitcoin Strategy ETF from ProShares, no physical bitcoins, but USD stablecoins are used on the dYdX exchange.
