🔥 Bitcoin joins the 'Long Bull Era', how can holders find high-yield scenarios? Today's BTC has upgraded from a "speculative target" to an "institutional must-have asset" and entered the era of long bull market. Since 2020, BTC has maintained an annual growth rate of approximately 30-40%, surpassing major stock indices. If investment managers don't allocate Bitcoin, they will fall behind! BTC has the largest market value and a stable position in the industry. But BTCFi is facing difficulties in development. BTC itself lacks smart contracts and cross chain composability. Recently, BTCFi has experienced a wave of coin issuances, but the airdrop returns are far below expectations. Starting a small team, the security and sustainability of the protocol are questionable. BTC holders have long been experiencing a lack of high-quality returns. ⭐ The high-yield xBTC managed by a large company has arrived Yesterday, when I was browsing, I saw the OKX wallet launch encapsulating Bitcoin xBTC at @ Aptos. By depositing xBTC, USDC, or APT at @ AriesMarkets, @ EchoProtocol_, or @ Hyperion_xyz, you can receive 35865 APT rewards (approximately 200000 U). At present, the annualization of xBTC is 6-7% (based on APT token incentives from activities), and the annualization of xBTC USDC LP is as high as 60-70% (18% commission+46% APT token incentives from activities), which is much higher than the returns from exchange lending (actual returns may fluctuate slightly). ⭐ What is xBTC? After research, it turned out that the Bitcoin mapping was fully managed by @ okx 1:1 without any casting or redemption fees. XBTC has the following three selling points: -Transparent custody of "reserve proof" - stored by OKX in an institutional level secure wallet, making big brands more trustworthy. -Cross chain pass - Sui, Aptos, Solana can shuttle freely -DeFi profits - BTC holders no longer have to "take it for granted" and can still earn new profits. ⭐ Security analysis of the event @Aries Markets is the largest lending agreement on Aptos, currently with $352 million in TVL. @EchoProtocol_ is the second largest lending protocol on Aptos, currently with $267 million in TVL. We have obtained financing from institutions such as The Spartan Group and Maelstrom Capital. @Hyperion-xyz is a V3 Dex invested by OKX and Aptos, suitable for those who like to hold some stablecoins - they can buy at the bottom when they fall, profit when they rise, and earn commission and rewards when they don't rise or fall. At present, these three protocols are all important protocols on Aptos. Generally, the higher the TVL of the protocol, the better the security, because large funds will undergo background checks and even contract checks before being deposited. The better the protocol develops, the more motivated the team is to ensure safety. In addition, this event is centered around xBTC hosted by OKX, and the OKX wallet activity has been launched. We believe that the OKX team will pay more attention to this event and strictly control the quality of cooperation projects. (Note: Even if all three protocols are high-quality projects, there are still potential contract risks inherent in DeFi protocols.). This is for information sharing only, not investment advice ⭐ So how do I participate? one ️⃣ Open OKX wallet, click on 'Receive', click on 'Quick Withdrawal from Exchange Account' two ️⃣ Select the currency BTC and choose the withdrawal network Aptos, which will convert the exchange's BTC to xBTC. If the address does not have Aptos, a small amount of Aptos tokens will need to be withdrawn as gas fees three ️⃣ Choose a protocol for interaction It is possible to distribute assets across multiple protocols, reducing the risk of a single protocol being attacked and suffering losses. ⭐ Recharge faith Throughout the journey, there have always been too many noises telling us that this is Alpha and that is Alpha, which has made us dizzy and disoriented. Sometimes we make profits, and sometimes we lose back. Actually, we may not need that much Alpha. Holding BTC well is the best Alpha. Slow is fast! Today, as institutions and governments fully embrace BTC, it is more worthwhile to hold it for the long term than at any other time in history!
