Big news: @union_build made some update yesterday and one of which is that union is now the first interop protocol to launch its own BTC LST product.

Why does this matter or why should you care?

Most BTC LSTs today:

💧Rely on centralized custody

💧Struggle to go cross-chain

💧Have weak DeFi integration

and that means poor adoption & low yield. However, Union is here to change that

since union already moves BTC LSTs across chains,
they are now launching their own  natively on their chain with full control over custody, yield, and distribution. 

What makes Union different?

-Fully composable & verifiable

-Works across Ethereum, Cosmos & more

-Runs on its own Layer-1 with XXX validators
No other interop protocol does this right now at the moment which make it to unlocks real value:

 🔹Revenue for Union
🔹TVL growth across ecosystems
🔹Direct access for LPs, funds, miners
🔹BTC treasuries can now earn sustainable yield

Union is evolving from interop infra to asset issuer.
And this BTC LST is just the beginning.
