KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Ozean integrates SolvBTC by Solv Protocol into its Oxygen (O2) liquidity layer, enhancing its DeFi capabilities.
  • SolvBTC, a Bitcoin reserve token, facilitates cross-chain DeFi opportunities with over 25,000 BTC staked.
  • Ozean aims to revolutionize DeFi by integrating Real World Assets (RWAs) in a compliant and user-friendly manner.

Ozean, the blockchain platform for Real World Asset (RWA) yield launched by Clearpool, has announced the integration of SolvBTC by Solv Protocol into its Oxygen (O2) liquidity layer. SolvBTC, recognized as a leading Bitcoin staking platform, is designed to unlock $1 trillion of idle Bitcoin and connect it with the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Solv Protocol, backed by investors such as Nomura subsidiary Laser Digital, Blockchain Capital, and OKX Ventures, provides SolvBTC as a universal Bitcoin reserve token. This token, backed 1:1 by Bitcoin (BTC), offers holders seamless access to cross-chain DeFi opportunities and yield generation. Currently, SolvBTC has over 25,000 BTC staked, amounting to approximately $2 billion, deployed across ten major blockchain networks.

Enhancing Ozean’s Liquidity Layer

The introduction of SolvBTC into O2 is seen as a significant enhancement to Ozean’s liquidity layer. Ryan Chow, CEO & Co-founder of Solv Protocol, expressed that the inclusion of SolvBTC adds substantial value to the network. O2 is designed to support the expansion of the Ozean ecosystem by combining RWAs, tokenized treasuries, liquid crypto assets, and yield-bearing tokens into a unified basket.

O2 supports functionalities such as swaps, lending, and collateralization, forming a robust liquidity pool. This pool not only provides liquidity but also generates yield from assets like lending protocol tokens and tokenized treasuries. The generated yield is reinvested, enhancing liquidity and offering additional earning opportunities for contributors.

Ozean’s Vision for DeFi Integration

Jakob Kronbichler, CEO & Co-founder of Clearpool, highlighted the strategic importance of integrating SolvBTC into O2, emphasizing the potential for further collaborations. Ozean aims to revolutionize DeFi by integrating RWAs in a compliant and user-friendly manner, enabling users to earn native yield on-chain automatically.

Ozean operates as a permissionless Ethereum Layer 2 with an optional compliance layer, fostering interoperability among permissioned protocols. This setup allows for the creation of a robust ecosystem where RWAs can be traded or used as collateral with enhanced functionalities.

One of O2’s key features is its dynamic rebalancing mechanism, ensuring the liquidity pool’s assets remain aligned with target allocations. As the weightage of O2 takes shape, stakeholders are encouraged to review the first Ozean Improvement Proposal (OIP 001), which outlines the ideal asset weighting for the initial launch of O2.

Further announcements regarding upcoming asset integrations are expected in the coming weeks. More details on this development can be found here.
