the Threshold intern ✜

Bitcoin Finance is a multi-trillion dollar opportunity. Decentralization isn’t optional.

tBTC redemption fee waivers are now live for $T stakers. 1/4 Redemption fees of 20 bps can now be partially or fully offset by staking T on the new Threshold App. This helps BTC–tBTC pricing without changing how the bridge operates. Minting remains free. Participation is opt-in with predictable parameters.

For users with both T and BTC, it's quite profitable to maintain the peg yourself. You can start by staking T here: #writeProxyContract" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">etherscan.io/address/0x0184…

Fee waivers for T stakers. tBTC is now perfectly pegged. No more 20bps discount attributable to redemption fees.

Bitcoin is more powerful. If you use it. tBTC ( @tBTC_project ) unlocks BTC for DeFi, scaling Bitcoin into every market that matters.

Bitcoin DeFi is underexplored. There's a lot of money to be made there. Experiment with it and support it. It's super critical. It's really cool to see where you started to where you are now. That's the dream. #Bitcoin #DeFi

The growth of tBTC (@TheTNetwork) is worth paying attention to. Read @AleaResearch's Persepctive report on Threshold Network to understand why it matters: alearesearch.io/perspectives/t…

On Advancing BTC-Fi: The Comprehensive Upgrade Everyone Deserves The past few years have been pivotal for $BTC adoption, from broader institutional entry to deeper integration with DeFi. The Spot ETF approval back in Jan 2024 was the real inflection point. Global giants like @BlackRock @FTI_Global @ARKInvest & @Grayscale (via GBTC conversion) led the charge, and since then more than $120B has flowed into 12+ spot ETFs. At the same time, Bitcoin’s appeal among corporates has surged with ~172 public companies now hold >1M BTC, marking a 55% increase since early 2024. But the real frontier isn’t just custody or inflows. It’s about turning Bitcoin into a productive asset. The endgame for BTC has always been to maximise both its upside and productivity → the perfect duality of an appreciating SoV that can also yield passively. ---------- The Retrospective Journey, Road Ahead & @TheTNetwork Standing BTC-Fi has been around longer than most realise, but it only started gaining real traction in 2024 → mainly led by the restaking narrative popularised by Babylon. For years, BTC’s productive use was minimal. Only 7.9% of supply is actively utilised on-chain, while 60% remains idle (while it trends uponly since 5 years ago) Yet, there’s been clear demand for BTC productivity. Take @aave V3, where 27.14% of collateral is BTC-based. BTC-backed TVL has grown 94x in two years, now sitting at $7.77B, which is still just 0.368% of the $2.11T total supply. That gap highlights the potential size of this market and the extent to how largely untapped while waiting for credible, secure infrastructure to scale it. Bridging the gap between SoV <> Productivity is inevitable if you think about it. The next logical step is to extend its utility while preserving its security. BTC-Fi enables exactly that → unlocking yield potential, restaking utility + collateral flexibility while maintaining the credibility & assurance that only BTC can provide. But the challenge has always been trust. Managing exogenous assets introduces complexity, and only protocols with verifiable resilience + transparency can credibly lead this next phase. Among all BTC derivatives, $tBTC remains one of the most battle-tested & decentralised: 🔸 Live since 2020, backed by multi-layer audits 🔸 Proven across multiple market cycles 🔸 Trustless minting live on 9+ chains 🔸 Extensive DeFi integrations → currently the 4th-largest BTC derivative ($282M deposited) and supported on @aave V3 Core These hallmarks adds up to how $tBTC has earned credibility through resilience by surviving, scaling, and shipping. That’s where Threshold Network’s long-term credibility becomes a defining edge. Unlike native DeFi, BTC-Fi involves significantly higher complexities due to the exogenous asset management → the most pristine asset deserves the highest trust + security. And it’s that track record makes Threshold Network one of the few issuers well-positioned for institutional adoption of BTC-Fi. ---------- From Custody to Circulation: The tBTC App Upgrade With a steady-state adoption, the next step for Threshold Network is about pushing accessibility and usability to the forefront → making BTC-Fi feel seamless end-to-end. The tBTC App Upgrade focuses on solving key pain points: 1️⃣ Lowering technical barriers for BTC mint + redeem flows → direct minting of canonical $tBTC to any supported chain, with easy redemption back. 2️⃣ Improved UX → unified gasless, all-in-one transactions with full complexity abstraction. Essentially, the goal is to BTC to move across DeFi ecosystems frictionlessly through a workflow that actually feels intuitive. To complement that, the upgraded app now includes a fully-refreshed dashboard that supports: 🔹Core DeFi utilities across multiple ecosystems 🔹Vaults, powered by scalable yield strategies with abstracted management 🔹Activity tracking for visibility, control, and performance monitoring All of these make BTC-Fi accessible to a wider audience esp. those who’ve always seen BTC as too static or technical to participate in productively. Ultimately, driving the shift from static SoV → productive SoV always comes down to one thing: trust & management confidence. ---------- So Why All This Matters? Each incremental improvement within the E2E asset management flow compounds Threshold’s positioning as a cornerstone for BTC-Fi. By bridging custody, liquidity, and usability, $tBTC is redefining how BTC interacts with DeFi → as a secure, composable base asset that institutions can actually use. We’re still early in this curve imo and as the market moves from HODL → tokenisation → productive utilisation, BTC-Fi will become the default layer of onchain capital efficiency. To put it simply, Threshold is just ahead of the curve in turning BTC from the world’s best store of value into the most productive one.

Threshold Network is scaling to meet institutional demand, and just announced its expansion strategy and the launch of the redesigned tBTC app to bridge $500B in Bitcoin into DeFi. tBTC is the trusted, tokenized Bitcoin bridge that connects institutional capital with decentralized markets. Threshold Network is the decentralized protocol powering tBTC, a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed decentralized wrapped Bitcoin built for DeFi. tBTC is integrated across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Sui++, powering cross-chain Bitcoin liquidity. It has exceeded $700M in TVL and recorded over $4.2B in bridge volume since 2020, establishing itself as one of the most resilient decentralized Bitcoin infrastructures in the market. On DefiLlama, tBTC is ranked number 3 among BTCfi protocols and number 1 in the “Decentralised BTC” category. @TheTNetwork's institutional expansion draws from strong onchain data lately: 157k Bitcoin addresses each hold over $1M, and 19k addys hold over $10M, totaling around $500B in value. Institutional holdings reached $414B by August 2025, with ETF inflows and corporate treasuries accelerating adoption. In other words, there’s a lot of BTC sitting idle! The upgraded tBTC app enables direct minting to supported chains and direct redemption to Bitcoin’s mainnet, ensuring liquidity and full control. Its gasless minting feature removes wallet signatures and fees, while one-step transactions simplify treasury operations. As institutional Bitcoin officially moves onchain, Threshold Network stands as the infrastructure ready to bridge potentially $500B in capital into decentralized markets. Happy to be an investor in the project.

tBTC is the standard for Bitcoin Finance

Q4 is looking great for @TheTNetwork

tBTC TVL on @aave was already #1 It’s up another 10% this week Just use @tBTC_project & Aave

two types of posts in the feed right now

Have you checked out Mezo yet anon? It’s built on tBTC. Just saying.

@asymmetryfin tBTC is the gwei

Not all wrapped Bitcoin is equal. $tBTC is Bitcoin wrapped right.

@asymmetryfin @LiquityProtocol i forking love it.

@theTintern @LiquityProtocol forking good move.

tBTC is how on-chain BTC should be: Decentralized & Permissionless There's no better option to borrow against your tBTC than with USDaf
