Integration introduces Bitcoin-collateralised lending to Rootstock, boosting BTCFi adoption for institutions and retail users.
Bitcoin-focused lending platform Avalon Labs has gone live on Rootstock. The integration brings Bitcoin-collateralised lending to both institutional and retail users, advancing the growth of on-chain capital markets within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Avalon Labs’ services on Rootstock will enable lending across assets, including rBTC, RIF, and USDRIF. USDa, offered at a fixed rate, is designed to bring stability to the BTCFi landscape while maintaining strong links to Bitcoin.
“The integration with Avalon strengthens Rootstock’s role as the leading and most comprehensive DeFi platform for Bitcoin, offering even more key BTCFi functionality and BTC opportunities,” said Ben Sanders, Chief Growth Officer at RootstockLabs. “Combined with Avalon’s technology and products, we’re accelerating Bitcoin-based on-chain markets and demand.”
Avalon joins a growing list of tier-one protocols building on Rootstock, including LayerZero, USDT0, Solv Protocol, and Midas, all contributing to the network’s rising total value locked and user activity.
“This is a partnership between two BTCFi powerhouses and signals a leap forward for scaling all sorts of useful applications that use Bitcoin,” said Jason Twu, Head of Ecosystem at Avalon. “We’re both laser-focused on this shared vision of providing industry-leading financial products not just for retail users but also the growing number of institutional-sized actors that desire to do more with their Bitcoin.”
With its launch on Rootstock, Avalon Labs expands access to decentralised lending and broadens opportunities for Bitcoin-native users, developers, and institutions.
