The Sui Network and its ecosystem are currently on fire. One of its lesser-known features is that you can stake native Bitcoin on Sui. Out of all TVL on Sui, 10% is from Bitcoin. So, this indicates Sui’s growing role in BTCfi. In the most recent development, Stacks joined the Sui Network. With its $sBTC, you can now tap into Bitcoin’s liquidity.

So, what are Sui and Stacks offering with this new development in BTCfi?

Stacks Integrates its $sBTC into the Sui DeFi Ecosystem

Stacks integrates its $sBTC into the Sui DeFi ecosystem. Who expected that? It is one of the first big news headers from the current Sui Basecamp. It’s also something that many of us didn’t see coming. This is definitely a pleasant surprise. It also shows that Sui is serious about integrating Bitcoin type solutions into its ecosystem.

BTCfi is growing on Sui. During Q1, it saw a 4x. As already mentioned, 10% of Sui’s current TVL is from Bitcoin. Sui’s current TVL is $1.8 billion. So, that makes the Bitcoin share of Sui’s TVL $180 million. Those are some serious numbers. 

With Stacks’ $sBTC integration, this number is bound to grow even more. This makes Sui a serious contender for the most outright Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. Stacks is a leading Bitcoin Layer 2 solution. Its $sBTC is 1:1 backed by Bitcoin. So, this allows Bitcoins $1.9 trillion liquidity to enter Sui’s DeFi ecosystem.

Now you can make your $BTC work for. This new integration allows you to earn yield, lend, and trade your $BTC with $sBTC. In contrast to Bitcoin, Sui’s DeFi ecosystem is fast and scalable. Sui’s network also doesn’t have any centralized intermediaries. You go straight to the source, so to speak.

Bitcoin has a more conservative blockchain structure. This limited DeFi activities on and with Bitcoin. However, Layer 2 solutions, like Stacks, change all this. Stacks adds smart contracts and dApps, without changing Bitcoin’s core protocol.

Growth in Sui’s BTCfi

We can see growth in Bitcoins utility on Sui. Stacks is now the fifth Bitcoin project that’s available in its ecosystem. Earlier, we saw integrations by Babylon, Lombard Finance, and Cubist. SatLayer, a restaking platform, is also part of this current inner Bitcoin circle on Sui. 

To recap, this new integration by Stacks puts Sui even more on the BTCfi map. The team shows that it’s dedicated to integrating Bitcoin into its DeFi ecosystem.
