Many individuals believe that Bitcoin owners do not prioritize yield.

DeFi would never receive BTC.

Then LBTC made $1 billion in TVL in 92 days.

What changed?

🧵👇🏽

➠ LBTC came with a trigger:
→ Yield-bearing
→ Multi-chain from the start
→ Supported by a security consortium made up of top institutions

It wasn't trying to copy ETH DeFi. It built on BTC's strengths.

➠ Adoption came quickly after.

→ 92 days to reach $1B TVL
→ $2 billion or more in new cash
→ Works on 12 or more chains

That's not luck; it's a signal.

The big protocols began to lean toward Bitcoin.

Why?
LBTC made Bitcoin useful in DeFi.

➠ Think about how this is reflexive:

More connections → More ways to get yield → More demand for liquidity → More BTC connections

This is how ecosystems grow. With speed.

Lombard's roadmap had LBTC as Phase 1.
It showed that BTC is more than just a store of value.
It becomes DeFi fuel when the appropriate infrastructure is in place.

The real question is

If Bitcoin capital is finally moving, who is in the best position to lead it?

Here is official page for full roadmap.

You will see why Phase 1 was only the first step.
