Solv Protocol Joins Forces with Ethena to Enhance Yield Opportunities for Bitcoin-Based Assets

A decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Solv Protocol announced its partnership with the Ethereum-based synthetic dollar protocol, Ethena to open up new avenues for earning yields on Bitcoin-related assets.

This collaboration brings the yield strategies of the protocol into the Bitcoin DeFi space, boosting the earning potential of SolvBTC, Solv Protocol's liquid Bitcoin asset. SolvBTC is set to become a yield-generating asset, providing earning possibilities that rival or even outshine the leading yield tokens found on other blockchains. SolvBTC is available across multiple networks like BNB Chain. Arbitrum , and Merlin Chain, among others.

Through this collaboration, Solv Protocol will launch the ‘SolvBTC Yield Vault – Ethena’ within its yield marketplace, allowing users to deposit SolvBTC and earn yields leveraging Ethena’s strategies, while still benefiting from exposure to Bitcoin. The yields generated will be in Bitcoin, arising from delta-neutral arbitrage, complemented by incentives in sats from Ethena. Furthermore, vault depositors will have the choice to earn Solv Points, diversifying their income sources.

Ethena is a financial protocol that operates on the Ethereum blockchain, pioneering a new approach to stablecoin creation with its synthetic currency, USDe . USDe achieves price stability through a 'delta-neutral' hedging method that spans both centralized and decentralized platforms. Ethena provides holders an annualized yield of 33.5% on its USDe stablecoins, primarily from shorting Ethereum futures. According to the latest data on the company's website, the protocol currently holds a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $3.1 billion.

"By integrating Ethena’s yield solutions, we are paving the way for secure yield opportunities for billions in Bitcoin liquidity. This addresses the immense demand for Bitcoin yields from both institutions and individual investors while highlighting Bitcoin's vast potential within DeFi,\" said Ryan Chow, founder of Solv Protocol, in a statement to Cryptocurrencylistings. \"Together, we will continue to drive high-yield opportunities for Bitcoin, facilitating the movement of its trillion-dollar value within DeFi and ushering BTCFi into a new era,\" he added.
