Speaking Topics
Unlocking Native BTC Yield Without Sacrificing Custody: Emerging Bitcoin protocols are enabling real BTC yield without relying on wrapped assetsbridgesor custodians and addressing key institutional concerns around counterparty and smart contract risk. I can chat through how these systems often leverage decentralized validator networks to secure the protocol while ensuring users maintain control of their Bitcoin at all times.
