Bitcoin is evolving from a passive store of value into an active foundation for decentralized finance, known as BTCFi. With total value locked growing from $300 million to over $6.6 billion in just a year, BTCFi is unlocking new use cases like lending, restaking, stablecoins, and decentralized trading—without sacrificing Bitcoin’s core principles of decentralization and self-custody.

So what’s BTCFi’s investment potential? What about its key risks and the catalysts that could drive or hinder its long-term success? And what must happen for BTCFi to scale meaningfully?

On The Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Takatoshi Shibayama, Head of APAC, Ledger and Podcast Host of Blockcast to find out more.
