Let’s break down the difference between LBTC and BTCK.

Two powerful assets from @Lombard_Finance that are actually giving Bitcoin some real use in DeFi.

X. LBTC (Liquid Staked Bitcoin)

This is BTC that’s staked through Babylon so it earns you yield, and you still keep full exposure to your Bitcoin. It’s 1:1 backed, non-custodial, and great for long-term holders who want to earn while holding.

You can use LBTC for staking, vaults, racking up Lux Points, and cross-chain DeFi strategies.

X. BTCK (Katana-native Bitcoin)

This one’s more for DeFi power users. It’s a wrapped version of BTC made for lending and liquidity across @katana apps.

Also 1:1 backed, but not staked, which means it’s free to mint, redeemable anytime, and ideal for fast swaps, lending on Morpho, or trading on Sushi. Minting usually takes under an hour.

TLDR:
Go with LBTC if you’re holding Bitcoin and want to earn on it.
Go with BTCK if you want to move fast and stay liquid in DeFi.

Both are safe, decentralized, and keep your Bitcoin doing something, not just sitting there.
