$PTB is almost here! 🔥

This is not just another ticker.

$PTB is the engine behind @PortaltoBitcoin;
A truly bridge-free, custodyless platform that lets you actually use your native BTC in DeFi.

It goes way beyond gas fees or governance:

→ Validators need $PTB to secure their spot and validate swaps

→ Lite Nodes get rewarded in $PTB for keeping the network light and secure

→ Liquidity Providers earn $PTB for making those clean, atomic swaps possible

And here's where it gets interesting; 👇
Every swap burns $PTB from the open market.

So the more the network is used  → the more $PTB gets burned → the more value flows back to the ecosystem.

It’s a clean, deflationary loop built for long-term sustainability.

Portal is not just unlocking $BTC utility;  they’re doing it with a working token model.
