Just saw that Merlin Chain launched the BTC native staking pool (Vault 1) | 50 BTC quota, with an APR of up to 21%——

It's strange what’s different this time?

After all, as someone who still holds $Merl and is a $BTC HOLDER, I always have a keen interest in related changes——

After some research, I found that this time it’s not just a “simulated PoS” on another chain, but a real pathway connecting BTC → one-click staking BTC → multi-chain DeFi yield;

And what you earn is not points, but real native $BTC returns;

Three changes worth noting:

1️⃣ Paradigm Shift——

In the past, BTCFi was mostly about “packaging,” essentially still a copy of PoS logic. Merlin provides a bridge—transforming “store-of-value BTC” into “yield-generating BTC,” which includes:

8% - 21% dynamic APR, with a yield mechanism optimized in real-time according to the market; a single operation automatically adds to the strategy vault, without worrying about cross-chain bridges, gas fees, or protocol selection;

2️⃣ Not just simple staking, but the actual “cross-chain liquidity rights” of BTC

MBTC extends BTC liquidity to networks like Solana, Sui, Base, zkSync, allowing BTC to have the capability of “on-chain multi-strategy, cross-chain multi-yield.”

3⃣ Institutional-level ecosystem gradually taking shape:

Seeing Merlin building a complete BTCFi financial stack: collaborating with Solv on BTC bond protocols, and exploring compliant funds for BTC collateral;

To be honest, it feels like this is BTC's first serious attempt to participate in on-chain finance.

Keep an eye on it, the BTC ecosystem will eventually emerge! I might be the one who hopes the most to safely take my Bitcoin out of the wallet to work!
