A recent trend is becoming clearer: you don’t have to sell your Bitcoin to put your BTC to work. But the path splits into two completely different tracks.
One is CeFi collateralized lending: you lock up BTC and borrow stablecoins. There are discounted fees in the short term, but in essence it’s a custody model—with terms, liquidation rules, and constraints on the counterparty. Put simply: using BTC to borrow money still comes with a cost.
The other is an on-chain DeFi-BTCFi route: you stake BTC, and the coin rights remain within a self-custody system. Not only do you not pay fees, you can also continuously earn interest-bearing rewards. There’s no borrowing/liquidation pressure, with the goal of turning idle BTC into productive assets that can safely generate yield.
One is lock your coins to borrow money and pay fees; the other is stake and hold to earn returns. “BTC doesn’t need to be sold” is becoming a consensus. The next question naturally is: where should you go if you want your BTC to earn yield?#BTC #CORE #BTCFi $BTC $CORE
