If the BTC you’re holding has just been sitting idle, you might want to check this out. BOB recently announced the 'Native Bitcoin Vault' solution: BTC is directly locked on the Bitcoin main chain as collateral for lending. Once you repay the loan, you get back the exact same BTC you originally locked—not wrapped tokens, and no need to hand over your coins to a custodian. Currently, less than 0.35% of BTC is involved in native Bitcoin DeFi, compared to around 30% of ETH being utilized on Ethereum. This represents a huge gap. What BOB is doing is safely bringing this 'sleeping BTC' into DeFi. The project is following an open-source approach, aiming to launch in early 2026, and will directly integrate with permissionless lending markets like Aave, Morpho, and Euler. Later, it plans to gradually upgrade its security model through BitVM. If you’re interested in seeing how Bitcoin can truly participate in DeFi without being wrapped, this project is worth keeping an eye on. Stay tuned to @build_on_bob_ch
