The article discusses the challenges and potential solutions for bringing decentralized finance (DeFi) to the Bitcoin ecosystem. While Ethereum and other smart contract platforms have embraced DeFi, Bitcoin has remained largely isolated due to its lack of native smart contract support, slow block times, and high fees. However, with the development of layer 2 solutions like Stacks and the introduction of sBTC, a 1:1 backed Bitcoin asset on the Stacks layer, Bitcoin DeFi may become a reality. sBTC allows Bitcoin holders to participate in DeFi protocols without centralized custody and offers opportunities for liquidity provision, yield generation, and onchain trading. The article suggests that with the growth of Bitcoin's value and the increasing ways to generate yield on layer 2 solutions, decentralized Bitcoin DeFi could see significant adoption in the coming years.
