I am a long-time follower of crypto alpha opportunities and project fundamentals. Recently, while researching the #BTCFi sector, I noticed a very promising project: @EchoProtocol_.
When many people mention #Echo, they might only think of it as a #BTC bridging protocol, but it actually does much more than that. #Echo is a "productivity platform" centered around #BTC, transforming Bitcoin from a "store of value" into a "yield-generating active asset," achieving true on-chain efficient utilization.
Its design is very holistic, unifying the fragmented liquidity of #BTCFi, which can be simply divided into three layers:
1️⃣ Unified #BTC Liquidity Layer: Bringing Bitcoin to #Aptos through a cross-chain bridge, then converting it into usable on-chain assets #aBTC;
2️⃣ Yield Amplification Strategy Layer: Integrating multiple #DeFi protocols to enhance #BTC's yield;
3️⃣ #BTC LST Infrastructure Layer: It will later support mechanisms like staking #BTC to earn stable yields.
This is not just talk; it has already collaborated with over 10 protocols on #Aptos (such as #Thala, #Aries, #Hyperion, etc.), and is also expanding to multi-chain layouts like #Solana, #Movement, and #Morph, clearly laying the foundation for a multi-chain ecosystem of #BTCFi.
More importantly, #Echo has completed its TGE and will launch on exchanges like Binance Alpha on July 2. This is the first true #BTCFi project on #Aptos to realize the Narrative → Product → Token cycle. Currently, many public chains are discussing the #BTCFi concept, but without even launching their projects, Echo has already completed a full closed loop, which is its competitive advantage.
From a data perspective, it looks very strong. As of May 2025:
• Echo occupies about 70% of the BTC liquidity on the Aptos chain;
• TVL reaches 878 million USD;
• There are over 125,000 weekly active users;
• On-chain transaction volume exceeds 2 million;
• aBTC holds a 65% market share of Aptos BTC.
One of the reasons I am particularly optimistic about Echo is that #Aptos is also "taking off" right now:
• Bitwise has submitted a spot ETF application for Aptos;
• Jump Crypto is collaborating to develop a new generation of decentralized storage;
• It has also been selected by the Wyoming government as one of the core chains for a stablecoin pilot.
So as long as #Aptos starts to gain momentum, #Echo, as the largest on-chain #BTCFi protocol, will undoubtedly be one of the first projects to benefit. Now that #Echo is about to launch on Binance Alpha, I will personally pay close attention to its token performance, as this is not just a narrative project, but one that has already established itself, backed by data, and can benefit from the explosion of mainstream public chains, making it one of the few legitimate representatives of #BTCFi. 🧐
