Xverse, a leading Bitcoin ecosystem wallet, is integrating sBTC to enhance scaling solutions for the Bitcoin economy. This integration will enable new use cases, such as scaling Layer 1 asset activity via sBTC and Stacks, a prominent layer 2 solution. By incorporating sBTC, Xverse aims to unlock various decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities for Bitcoin users, including lending, borrowing, and trading, while maintaining ownership of their bitcoin. Ken Liao, Founder and CEO of Xverse, expressed excitement about this development, highlighting the ease of bridging BTC to sBTC within the wallet. Xverse has been a pioneer in Bitcoin ecosystem innovations, integrating BTC and STX in a single wallet and providing the first mobile experience for the Stacks L2. The wallet has also embraced L2 assets in DeFi, enabling native in-app swaps for Stacks' fungible token standard. Xverse's collaboration with Bitflow will soon launch the first Bitcoin Runes Automated Market Maker (AMM) on Stacks, offering a Layer-1 Bitcoin DEX trading experience. This partnership enhances DeFi capabilities by leveraging Bitcoin's security and Stacks' programmability. Xverse is part of the Stacks Foundation's campaign to showcase organizations supporting sBTC, emphasizing the transformative potential of sBTC in the Bitcoin economy.
