Liquidium, the developer of the Bitcoin pairs in pairs, today launched its cross -chain loans product. It allows loans without confidence and loans through Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana without the use of wrapped tokens or centralized bridges. The announcement was made at the Bitcoin 2025 conference.
The cross chain protocol works with the merger technology of the Internet chain Computer (ICP). It offers a native performance and collateral mechanism of Bitcoin that connects directly to Ethereum or Solana USDC liquidity groups, without any risk of custody.
Liquidium brings native loans without wrapping
Until now, borrowed against native bitcoin and receive native assets in other required block chains using wrapped tokens (such as WBTC) or centralized bridges, structures that introduce counterpart risks and technical complexity. The new Liquidium protocol breaks that paradigm.
With the fusion of the chain, users can now publish layer 1 bitcoin as a guarantee and borrow native stable in Ethereum or Solana. The process is perfect, without joining or wrapping assets. Users receive assets provided directly on their metamash or ghost wallets, while maintaining their BTC stored safely in the chain in wallets such as Ledger or Xverse.
Robin Obermaier, CEO and co -star of Liquidium, said: “Bitcoin was built for self -esteem, not delivering keys to centralized bridges. With Liquidium, users do not have to think about ‘what chain’ we have not abstracted from plumbing.
Go to the unusual potential of Bitcoin wrapped in inactive
The Liquidium time occurs when the Defi protocols in Ethereum and Solana continue with globe. Protocols such as Aave, Morpho and Kamino now control tens of billions of dollars in total blocked value. However, more than $ 4.3 billion in wrapped BTC remain inactive in Ethereum Defi, obtaining minimal returns, according to the general description of the Aave reserve in May 2025.
This vast underutilized capital group represents a clear market opportunity.
Liquidium, which has already prosecuted more than $ 430 million in loans in Bitcoin layer 1 and facilitated almost 100,000 loans, aims to address this unsatisfied demand. More than 3,100 BTC only in loans based on orderly highlight the appetite for Bitcoin native loan solutions.
Brand change and market expansion
Liquidium also announced that the original Bitcoin loans of layer 1, focused on the Bitcoin, BRC-20 and Runes, has changed its name as Liquidiumwtf, creating a different identity for native Bitcoin Niche users. The new cross -chain product will serve a broader audience in the defi landscape of multiple chains.
The company plans to launch a closed beta version in the third quarter of 2025, followed by a public launch at the end of this year. Users can join the waiting list in Liquidium.fi.
“Liquidium implementation demonstrates how the fusion of the chain can unlock the primitive defi completely new,” said Lomesh Dutta, Vice President of Growth of the DFINITY Foundation. “This is exactly the type of innovation we imagine: Bring Bitcoin’s safety and liquidity to the broader blockchain ecosystem.”

Strategic support and technical force
Founded in 2022, Liquidium has raised $ 4 million in rounds prior to seeds and seeds. Its sponsors include the Stacks Foundation, CMS Holdings, Portal Ventures, Newman Capital, Bitcoin Startup Lab and Utxo Management.
The use of liquidium of the fusion of the chain, a product of the Internet computer protocol of the Dfinity Foundation, separates it. Technology allows the atomic and minimized execution of confidence in the chains without intermediate layers, offering a radically safer and easy to use experience than today’s fragmented bridge systems.
As Bitcoin becomes more and more a capital base instead of a transactional currency, protocols such as Liquidium are laying the foundations for the productive deployment of BTC in the defi economy. The non -custodial design combination, native asset support and cross chain functionality could position Liquidium as a protocol that defines the category.
The closed beta version will be a critical adoption test, especially among users previously reluctant to block BTC in smart contracts from Ethereum or custody bridge systems.
