Borrow/Lend

LBTC provides an underlying yield from staking BTC within Babylon, making it a yield-bearing asset.

LBTC is an ideal collateral asset for underutilized cbBTC and WBTC, with consistently high demand for leveraged LBTC exposure in lending markets, where utilization rates often reach capacity. This opens opportunities for Bitcoin lenders on borrow/lend protocols to achieve sustainable yields, addressing a gap in DeFi where BTC lending yields historically remain below 1% APY.

Additionally, LBTC is the most significant player on Pendle, dominating the yield market through LBTC or eBTC; leveraging PT tokens against LBTC offers a unique opportunity to capitalize on BTC's fixed yield.
