Bitcoin DeFi Aggregation Protocol Sats Terminal Raises $1.7M to Expand Its Platform

Sats Terminal, a Bitcoin decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregation protocol, announced it has raised $1.7 million in pre-seed funding to expand its platform.

Relying on a triple threat of decentralized exchange (DEX), bridge, and yield aggregation in the Bitcoin ecosystem, Sats Terminal announced today it has raised $1.7 million in pre-seed funding to expand its platform.Coinbase Ventures and Draper Associates led the round, with additional participation from Draper Dragon, BitcoinFi Accelerator, UTXO Management, Core Chain Ventures, Sats Ventures, Delta Blockchain Fund, Tenzor Capital, and 3Commas Capital. And several high-profile angel investors also joined the round, including Paul Taylor, Franklin Bi, DOMO, Stijn Paumen, and others who support Sats Terminal’s goals.

Created by Stanislav Havryliuk and Rishabh Java, Sats Terminal was born from a clear need to make Bitcoin-native DeFi products more straightforward and connected. The current BitcoinFi landscape is rich in opportunity — from lending and staking to bridging and token swaps — but it remains fragmented, technically complex, and challenging for everyday users.

At its core, Sats Terminal aggregates key Bitcoin DeFi protocols, enabling users to access the best staking yields, the most competitive token swap rates and seamless bridging options all from a single interface. And this integration improves the user experience and benefits partner protocols by driving more users and increasing liquidity volumes.

Sats Terminal is actively expanding in the Bitcoin ecosystem. It has already integrated widgets with top Runes projects like $DOG and $BILLY and is live on Liquidium, Xverse, Runes.com, and many other partner websites and apps.

With the newly secured funding, Sats Terminal plans to expand its ecosystem with more partner integrations, enhanced order-splitting algorithms, and auto-compounding yields as the protocol matures. With this funding, Sats Terminal will be able to develop a suite of products that leverages its robust routing and trading infrastructure, delivering users the best possible rates across its product suite.
