Two Prime makes onchain finance push with $10 million

Digital asset firm Two Prime has launched the Axiom WBTC Yield Vault on the Pareto protocol to facilitate institutional bitcoin lending. The vault allows users to deposit wrapped bitcoin (WBTC) to earn projected annual yields between 1.5% and 2%. To mitigate risk for participants, Two Prime has committed $10 million of its own capital to serve as a first-loss buffer. The initiative connects bitcoin holders with institutional borrowers, including public companies and credit-rated financial entities. Assets within the vault are secured by institutional-grade custodians ICE Digital Trust and Copper Technologies. This launch represents a strategic expansion of Two Prime’s lending operations into onchain finance by leveraging Pareto’s private credit infrastructure. By providing a structured mechanism for bitcoin-backed yield, the vault aims to bridge the gap between decentralized liquidity and institutional funding requirements.

BitGo moves $7.4 billion Wrapped Bitcoins to Chainlink CCIP in latest LayerZero exodus

BitGo has migrated its Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) infrastructure to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to facilitate secure cross-chain transfers. This transition involves approximately $7.4 billion in assets, marking a significant shift in the underlying technology supporting the most widely used wrapped token on Ethereum. The move follows a broader industry trend where protocols are moving away from LayerZero’s OFT standard in favor of Chainlink’s established security framework. By integrating CCIP, BitGo aims to enhance the reliability and interoperability of WBTC across various blockchain ecosystems. This migration highlights the increasing competition among cross-chain messaging protocols to secure high-value institutional assets. As WBTC remains a cornerstone of decentralized finance, the choice of infrastructure provider directly impacts the systemic risk profile of the RWA and DeFi markets. The shift underscores the growing institutional preference for standardized, battle-tested interoperability solutions in the management of tokenized assets.
