Who will be the Lido of Bitcoin?
• @SolvProtocol's SolvBTC mirrors Lido’s early explosive growth, leading with $2.2B TVL, 26.4K BTC staked, and 1.1M users but like many early DeFi giants, its growth hinges on token incentives rather than sustainable infrastructure.
• @Lombard_Finance's LBTC reflects Lido’s structural maturity, pairing $1.74B TVL and 20.7K BTC staked with a cleaner, Babylon-native design positioning it as the strongest contender for long-term dominance.
• fBTC by @FunctionBTC resembles the early institutional tailwind Lido gained, with $1.65B TVL and 14K BTC staked. Its traction, though less visible in user numbers, hints at serious, high-conviction capital.
• stBTC and tBTC by @TheTNetwork represent experimental forks of the Lido model, each with ~4–4.6K BTC staked stBTC banking on gamification; tBTC is staying true to decentralization but struggling to scale.
• rBTC by @rootstock_io, sBTC by @Stacks, and pumpBTC by @Pumpbtcxyz echo early Ethereum LST outliers, with limited data and fragmented adoption. Their potential hinges on either composability breakthroughs or tokenomic overhauls.
Bitcoin needs yield, and competition in the BTCfi industry is fierce.
In my new Substack article, I've analyzed public data on the most popular Bitcoin LSTs, aiming to predict the distribution of power in the BTCfi landscape.
