🚨 Hold up, BTC maxis.
Staking BTC has always been... a challenge, right? We’ve got $stETH for ETH, but where’s the equivalent for Bitcoin? Well, turns out, it’s finally here.
👉 Enter: Lombard and their liquid-staked Bitcoin: $LBTC.
So, what exactly is $LBTC?
Simply put, it's liquid BTC that earns yield while staying fully backed by Bitcoin. No, it’s not another wrapped coin, it’s a 1:1 peg to actual BTC. 🔐
And here's the kicker: With $LBTC, you can stake your Bitcoin and keep it liquid for use in DeFi. That means no locking up your assets, no missing out on opportunities. Your BTC is still working for you. 💸

But the real magic happens when you plug your $LBTC into Lombard’s DeFi vaults. These vaults auto-allocate your $LBTC across DeFi protocols like Curve and Uniswap, stacking rewards and maximizing yield for you.

Set it. Forget it. Earn. 🔄💰
For those who like low-effort passive income, this is a game-changer. You don’t have to sit there manually optimizing positions, moving funds around, or worrying about yield anymore. Lombard vaults do all that for you. 🤖
What’s really exciting, though?
$LBTC isn’t just about staking your BTC for yield. It’s about bringing Bitcoin into DeFi in a way that hasn’t been done before. A true bridge between the traditional BTC world and the ever-growing DeFi ecosystem.

Is $LBTC going to become a staple in DeFi? I think so.
The potential for Bitcoin to earn yield in a permissionless, decentralized way is huge. And Lombard is paving the way for that. 🌍
At the end of the day, if you’re holding BTC, you don’t have to let it sit idle anymore. With $LBTC, you can stake it, earn yield, and use it across multiple chains—while staying fully exposed to Bitcoin’s price movements.
👀 Keep an eye on Lombard. Just the beginning.
When you stake Bitcoin with Lombard, you don’t just lock it away.
You mint $LBTC — a liquid version of your BTC.
That means you keep exposure to Bitcoin’s price AND earn yield at the same time.
And here’s the kicker: $LBTC isn’t some random wrapped coin.
It’s backed 1:1 with Bitcoin, secured by a group of institutions like OKX, Galaxy & Wintermute.

This isn’t DeFi degen magic — it’s real custody + real yield.
So now your Bitcoin can:
✔ Earn yield
✔ Be used in DeFi vaults
✔ Move across chains
✔ Stay liquid

That’s a huge step forward for the biggest asset in crypto.
BTC has always been powerful as “digital gold.”
But $LBTC? That’s Bitcoin as productive capital.
It’s not just a store of value anymore. It’s yield-bearing money.

Some protocols grind for years to hit $1B TVL.
Lombard did it in 92 days.

The idea is simple: Bitcoin is the largest asset in crypto, but it just sits there.
What if it could earn yield like ETH does with stETH?
