Bitcoin Just Got a Lot More Powerful on Aptos
Over $2 trillion worth of Bitcoin sits idle outside of DeFi — but that’s starting to change.
Aptos now supports two seamless ways to bring BTC into its DeFi ecosystem:
- xBTC by OKX – A secure, custodial on-ramp.
- WBTC-OFT via LayerZero – A next-gen, omnichain version of Wrapped BTC.
Unlike old-school bridges, WBTC-OFT uses a burn-and-mint model with no wrappers, lockups, or trust assumptions. It moves instantly across 80+ chains using LayerZero’s DVN, with institutional-grade custody by BitGo.
Once on Aptos, BTC can be used right away across lending platforms like Aries and Echelon, or traded on AMMs like Thala, Panora, and Hyperion.
This is a major step toward unlocking unified Bitcoin liquidity across chains — faster, cheaper, and safer.
