Most of the world’s crypto wealth is sitting still
Yes, over $XXX billion worth of Bitcoin is doing absolutely nothing. Locked in cold wallets, unproductive, untapped.
Why?
Because moving Bitcoin across chains has always meant giving up control.
Let’s talk about why @PortaltoBitcoin is fixing that 👇
Let’s say you want to swap your BTC for ETH to buy an NFT.
Today, you have X options:
1./ Use a centralized exchange → risk custody, delays, and KYC.
2./Use a bridge → risk exploits and stuck funds.
3./Wrap your BTC → mint a fake version of Bitcoin and trust a third party to hold the real thing.
All of these come with risk and trust; two things Bitcoin was created to avoid.
Now imagine a 4th option:
You keep your BTC in your own wallet You choose what chain you want to swap into You hit “swap” Boom, your BTC is gone, your ETH shows up No one held your funds. No custodian. No middleman.
That’s what Portal to Bitcoin is building.
A tech stack that lets real BTC move across chains ⚡ Instantly 🔐 Without custody 🛠️ Without wrapping 🤝 Without trust
It works using something called atomic swaps, but don’t let the term scare you.
Here’s the simple version:
Both sides of the trade either happen at the same time, or not at all. It’s a digital handshake with built-in protection.
So what problem is Portal really solving?
It’s giving Bitcoin superpowers. It’s unlocking DeFi for Bitcoin holders. It’s connecting BTC to the rest of the crypto world, securely, natively, and freely.
And that matters, because:
DeFi shouldn’t exclude the biggest crypto by market cap Bitcoiners shouldn’t have to trust centralized bridges And cross-chain liquidity should be safe by default
Portal to Bitcoin isn’t just a project. It’s a missing piece of the crypto puzzle.
And it’s finally here.
