Threshold Network Enhances Institutional Bitcoin Access Through Improved tBTC Bridge
tBTC Bridge Upgrade: Threshold Network has upgraded its tBTC bridge, allowing institutions to utilize their Bitcoin in DeFi without withdrawing it from custody, integrating with insured custodians for secure transactions.
Unlocking Institutional Liquidity: The upgrade aims to unlock over $400 billion in institutional liquidity, enabling gas-free tBTC minting in a single transaction, thus enhancing the use of Bitcoin in decentralized finance.
Interoperability and Compliance: The new architecture positions tBTC as the institutional standard for Bitcoin in DeFi, offering interoperability with various networks and ensuring regulatory compliance, which has previously limited institutional participation.
Current Market Position: Bitcoin currently has $7.7 billion locked in DeFi, significantly less than Ethereum and other chains, but Threshold Network aims to increase this share by connecting institutional capital with decentralized protocols.
