I think the Bitcoin ecosystem is evolving beyond a store of value.

Institutional interest in Bitcoin DeFi is rapidly growing.

Major players like BlackRock are exploring Bitcoin-backed financial products.

Found an interesting project called Yala, a Bitcoin-native liquidity protocol for DeFi.

It introduces $YU, a meta-yield stablecoin backed by Bitcoin.

$YU utilizes Bitcoin’s UTXO framework for security and transparency.

The protocol enables seamless cross-chain DeFi participation for users.

Its TVL reached $XXXXX million by June 2025, reflecting growth.

Solana integration enhances $YU’s accessibility and scalability across chains.

They have partnerships with Babylon and Pyth for a decentralized infrastructure.

$YALA TGE is really close, keep an eye on this project.
