Aptos blockchain has integrated LayerZero’s WBTC-OFT standard, enabling seamless cross-chain Bitcoin transfers to enhance liquidity and accessibility within its decentralized finance infrastructure.
The solution introduces xBTC through LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token protocol, consolidating liquidity pools for direct access to Aptos’ DeFi services. This integration streamlines Bitcoin transfer processes, eliminating intermediate steps for users moving BTC into the ecosystem.
With over $430 million in existing BTC-backed assets and $1.35 billion in stablecoin liquidity already supported on Aptos, the deployment further strengthens its DeFi capabilities. Prominent protocols including Aries, Echo, and Hyperion have endorsed the network’s capital efficiency improvements stemming from the integration.
