pSTAKE Finance, a Binance Labs-backed multichain and a leading liquid staking protocol, is preparing to unveil a premier liquid staking solution for Bitcoin (BTC), built atop Babylons BTC staking protocol.

In collaboration with Babylon, pSTAKE Finance will simplify the staking process, enabling users to seamlessly and securely participate in yield generation while maintaining the liquidity of their staked BTC.

pSTAKE Finance pioneered liquid staking protocol in Cosmos in 2021 and, with more than 3 years of expertise, will greatly expand its services with the launch of its flagship liquid staking solution for Bitcoin, aimed at optimizing yield for users.

The move comes amid a wave of innovation and technological advancements in the Bitcoin ecosystem, including Bitcoin Layer-2s and BTC Shared Security Mechanisms. These developments have opened the door for Bitcoin staking, making it a yield-bearing asset. Amidst ongoing developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem, notably Babylon's native Bitcoin staking, various avenues for generating yield on BTC are emerging, promising a diverse range of options in the near future.

Bitcoins future has never been so exciting, with simple BTC-first financial products anticipated to bring much-needed liquidity and utility to todays DeFi landscape, says Persistence Labs co-founder and CSO Mikhil Pandey. Im excited for pSTAKE Finance's collaboration with Babylon to bring yield and enhanced utility to Bitcoin.

At Babylon, we're propelling Bitcoin into the future of finance. By integrating our BTC staking protocol, we're enabling pSTAKE to simplify and amplify the yield generation process for Bitcoin holders. This collaboration underlines our commitment to enhancing Bitcoins utility and liquidity, paving the way for a Bitcoin-powered DeFi ecosystem, says Fisher Yu, co-founder of Babylon.

Liquid staking was once exclusively associated with Ethereum, but soon, in part through pSTAKEs continued efforts to unlock liquidity for staked assets, users of other digital assets, including Bitcoin, will soon be able to access the same yield generation and staking rewards opportunities Ethereum users have enjoyed for years.

BTC deposits are expected to go live on the pSTAKE platform in the coming weeks.
