The Bitcoin (BTC) yield vault is backed by Solv, Avalanche (AVAX), Euler, Elixir, LFJ and Balancer, Solv Protocol said in an announcement.
Solv Protocol has announced the launch of SolvBTC.AVAX, a modular Bitcoin yield product backed by real-world assets (RWA). The Bitcoin (BTC) yield vault is backed by Solv, Avalanche (AVAX), Euler, Elixir, LFJ and Balancer, Solv Protocol said.
The launch of SolvBTC.AVAX aims to further tap into the $1.3 trillion Bitcoin market, where an estimated 94% of the supply is largely idle. The new product seeks to unlock yield opportunities for Bitcoin holders by integrating with real-world asset infrastructure.
With SolvBTC.AVAX, users can earn core yield sourced from major real-world asset players such as BlackRock and Hamilton Lane. The protocol will use the token to explore deeper integration between Bitcoin and real-world assets.
“Bitcoin holds a market cap of over $1.3 trillion, yet more than 94% of BTC is largely idle, generating no yield. Meanwhile, RWAs have exploded 10x since early 2022, now exceeding $22.1 billion in on-chain collateral,” Solv Protocol noted.
The RWA sector has seen rapid institutional adoption, with firms such as BlackRock, Brevan Howard, Franklin Templeton, and Hamilton Lane increasing exposure.
Currently, more than $6.9 billion of real-world assets is funded by tokenized U.S. Treasuries. Most of these funds are on-chain, with over $5.3 billion tokenized on Ethereum. Stellar, Solana, Arbitrum and Avalanche have market shares of $463 million, $303 million, $187 million and $124 million respectively, according to rwa.xyz.
Solv Protocol’s SolvBTC.AVAX is designed to accelerate interest in RWA by offering Bitcoin holders access to real yield. The token is a yield-bearing Bitcoin asset built to leverage decentralized finance infrastructure and deliver RWA-backed returns. It is the first institutional-grade RWA yield product designed specifically for Bitcoin finance, Solv claims.
SolvBTC.AVAX will launch on Avalanche, with the layer-1 blockchain providing for scalable, low-cost execution layer. It will also offer ecosystem incentives targeted at growing Bitcoin finance.
