BTC Proxy Is Live on BNB Chain and Interoperable With WBTC and BTCB

PRESS RELEASE. Leading DeFi protocol BTC PROXY today expanded support for the Binance BNB Chain as well as updating support on Ethereum and Polygon for their ($BTCpx) Bitcoin Proxy. Minting and bridging of BTCpx to the three networks goes live on or after March 10th, 2023. This fulfilled a vision of allowing the Proxy community to utilize their Bitcoin for use in DeFi on Polygon, Ethereum and BNB Chains.

BTC Proxy’s expansion to the three networks allows the Minting of BTCpx token using BTC Bitcoin, WBTC ERC20 and Polygon as well as BTCB BEP20. This is a major leap forward for the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem as it opens up the protocol to 19.2M Bitcoins in circulation as well as 52,979 BTCb on Binance as well as 176,097 WBTC in circulation on Ethereum and Polygon.

No other project offers the usage of insured custody to hold Bitcoin. BTC Proxy is suitable for full custody investment funds and holders that need the assurance of a qualified custodian.

Qualified custodians reduce counterparty risk as the holdings are insured and regulated and required to segregate client funds and are not permitted to trade or leverage their holdings. This is a hot topic since the collapse of major centralized platforms like FTX and Celsius have eroded consumer trust in cryptocurrencies. BTC Proxy is integrated with leading custodians such as Binance Custody, Fireblocks and Gemini Trust.

Users using BTCpx can now freely move it seamlessly from one network to another and redeem it for real BTC with the new Bridge function.

BTC Proxy’s minting and bridge functions moves us one step closer to our goal of launching Redux, our flagship Bitcoin Market Protocol for lending and borrowing of Bitcoin and other assets. Redux will allow for the decentralised collateralization and the borrowing of Bitcoin to replace the role of the traditional lending desks at centralized institutions.

BTC Proxy currently operates The Bitcoin Farm which is designed to be a sustainable protocol that pays out fees that have been earned from other tasks in their DeFi ecosystem including Minting, Bridging and Bonding.

With over 30 institutions onboarded to the protocol already, including major players like Blockchain.com, the possibilities for #RealYield keeps growing. Recent events have given pause to the idea that CeFi is in any way superior to DeFi. The transparency of DeFi allows protocol participants to see exactly where the #RealYield is being earned.

Today’s announcement expands the protocol onto another major network as it eyes its goal to be the leader in Bitcoin DeFi. BTC Proxy is positioned as the safest, fastest, and most efficient protocol to provide decentralized utility for Bitcoin. The developing protocol focuses on value accrual to the $PRXY token and coming protocol developments look to continue that trend via #RealYield.

Donnie Kim, BTC Proxy CEO said:

“At BTC PROXY, we are focused on making Bitcoin work for holders, work for DeFi, and work for the wider community. Bitcoin is great at storing value but unlocking and using that value is not easy. Today’s announcement is another major step for expanding reliable and assured methods to put BTC to work.

As a protocol, we have always been clear that our solutions should be trusted, safe, and efficient. Centralized services have well-documented risks. These have led to recent well-publicised failures that impact on everyone in the sector.

BTC Proxy believes that BTC holders should not have to ‘cross their fingers’ when investing their assets. Our insured custody model guarantees the safety of investments, making our new functions the perfect choice for individuals and institutions alike.

About BTC PROXY

Trustee Updates Mt Gox Creditors — Repayment Date and Exchange Still Unknown Last week speculation and rumors concerning the release of 140K bitcoin ( BTC ) from Mt Gox littered social media platforms and headlines. Bitcoin.com News covered the situation six days ago as a number of people and Mt Gox creditors called the rumors “ fake news .” During that same period of time, a bitcoin whale transferred 10,000 BTC to unknown wallets, and a 2018 annotation , heuristics, and clustering methods show the funds likely originated from the June 2011 Mt Gox hacks.

Fidelity Discusses Bitcoin as Portfolio Insurance — Could Soon Stand in ‘Stark Contrast’ to Path Fiat Currencies Take

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance. The firm notes that the cryptocurrency “may soon stand in stark contrast to the path that the rest of the world and fiat currencies may take — namely the path of increased supply, additional currency creation, and central bank balance sheet expansion.” Fidelity Says Bitcoin Could Be Portfolio Insurance Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, recently published a research study titled “The Rising Dollar and Bitcoin.” The research outlines “how bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance” as the rising dollar impacts global currency markets. “The strengthening U.S. dollar is wreaking havoc among other countries and may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to soon reverse its tightening monetary actions, something that has precedent based on 1985’s Plaza Accord,” Fidelity explained. In addition, “more monetary debasement may be needed to ...

Economists Discuss Russia, China Potentially Developing Gold-Backed Currency That Could Undermine US Dollar

Economists have weighed in on reports that China and Russia may be developing a new gold-backed currency that could undermine the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency. Russia and China May Be Developing Gold-Backed Currency Several experts have shared their views on Russia and China potentially creating a new gold-baked currency, Fox Business reported Saturday, emphasizing that China has been buying up huge quantities of gold while Russia was forced off the U.S. dollar due to sanctions imposed on the country following its invasion of Ukraine. The news outlet noted that some experts have cautioned that these moves, along with the closer relationship that has developed between Moscow and Beijing, point to the likelihood of China attempting to launch a gold-backed currency. However, neither Russia nor China has officially confirmed plans for such a currency. Craig Singleton, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former U.S. diplomat,...
