Binance Research Highlights Bitcoin’s Growing Role in DeFi

Binance Research, the investigative branch of the leading cryptocurrency exchange, has released an insightful new study about Bitcoin (BTC).

According to the report by Binance analyst Moulik Nagesh, Bitcoin is stepping beyond its traditional role as a store of value and is becoming an integral part of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

The analyst highlighted how Bitcoin’s increasing involvement in DeFi applications is unlocking new revenue potential for holders, particularly through options like using Bitcoin as collateral or for lending to generate yield.

Nagesh pointed out that, despite Bitcoin’s extensive use as a store of value, only a small fraction—around 0.8%—of its total supply is currently utilized in DeFi, suggesting a vast, untapped opportunity within the sector.

The report emphasized that this growing sector, dubbed Bitcoin DeFi (BTCFi), aims to enhance Bitcoin’s capital efficiency by integrating it into decentralized financial tools such as staking, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and stablecoins.

As DeFi continues to develop, even modest adoption rates could lead to significant capital inflows, opening up new pathways for the financialization of Bitcoin. The potential for growth in this space, according to the findings, could be substantial, with the likelihood of billions of dollars entering the market if Bitcoin’s inactive supply begins to be leveraged more widely in DeFi applications.
