đŸ”„ CIRCLE JUST TURNED BTC INTO INSTITUTIONAL LIQUIDITY đŸ”„
Bitcoin once sat still,
Now the same asset can work while staying in the vault.
Circle has launched Digital Asset-Backed Borrowing for eligible Circle Mint customers, allowing institutions to deposit BTC, mint 1:1-backed cirBTC, and use it as collateral to borrow USDC without selling their Bitcoin.
The workflow is now connected through Circle Mint, with borrowing available through supported third-party lending markets on Arc and Ethereum. Morpho is the first supported protocol, with additional integrations planned.
