Key TakeawaysSolv is building a Bitcoin-native yield infrastructure, turning BTC into a productive asset.Its new product BTC+ offers up to 5% base yield with diversified strategies across DeFi, CeFi, and RWAs.Solv bridges retail and institutional demand with on-chain transparency and institutional-grade safeguards.Bitcoin has established itself as the leading digital asset, but much of it still sits idle without generating yield. Solv, a project focused on building Bitcoin-native financial infrastructure, has introduced BTC+, a vault designed to turn BTC into a productive, yield-bearing asset.In this interview with Binance News, the Solv team explains the motivation behind BTC+, how the product works, and what it could mean for both retail users and institutions exploring Bitcoin yield strategies.1. For Binance readers just discovering Solv, how would you describe your mission today in one clear line?Solv: We’re building the financial rails that finally make Bitcoin work — not just as a store of value, but as a productive, yield-bearing asset for the world.2. Why focus on Bitcoin now? What market gaps or opportunities pushed you to build products around BTC?Solv: Every macro trend we see — deglobalization, sovereign debt spirals, fractured FX regimes — points to one truth: Bitcoin is the neutral reserve asset of the 21st century.Yet Bitcoin remains the most underutilized asset in crypto. Trillions move across DeFi, but the majority of BTC sits idle. We asked a simple question: What if Bitcoin could do more?BTC is pristine collateral, but it lacks native yield infrastructure. Capital wants yield. Bitcoin holders want sovereignty. Institutions want clarity. That massive gap is where Solv steps in.3. BTC+ launches this week. What is BTC+, and why should BTC holders pay attention?Solv: BTC+ is a Bitcoin yield vault that solves a decade-old problem: how to safely and transparently put BTC to work without needing to be a DeFi expert.It’s a battle-tested, composable yield layer for BTC — designed for both retail and institutions.4. How does BTC+ actually work? When someone deposits BTC, what happens behind the scenes to generate yield?Solv: When users deposit BTC (or wrapped BTC), they receive BTC+, which accrues yield through a multi-strategy vault similar to a macro fund. Strategies include:DEX liquidity provisionOn-chain lending (Morpho, Lista, Euler)Delta-neutral CeFi arbitrageMultichain incentives & staking (coming soon)RWA-backed yield via BlackRock’s BUIDL and Hamilton Lane’s SCOPEBTC+ offers up to 5% base yield with no management or performance fees for Epoch 1 participants, plus $100,000 in $SOLV token rewards to bootstrap liquidity.For the first time, Bitcoin holders can earn diversified APY with DeFi transparency and institutional-grade strategy — without giving up custody.5. BTC+ allocates funds across lending markets and DEX LPs. How are those strategies chosen, and how do you balance yield with security?Solv: We approach BTC+ like a regulated fund manager would: multi-layered risk analysis, concentration controls, and live rebalancing.Our edge is combining traditional asset management discipline with on-chain strategy execution. Yield is only valuable if sustainable, so we prioritize risk management before chasing returns.6. SolvBTC, xSolvBTC, and Solv Vaults already exist. How does BTC+ tie everything together?Solv: Think of BTC+ as the yield hub.SolvBTC: a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed, cross-chain reserve assetxSolvBTC: yield-bearing SolvBTC with Babylon staking rewardsSolv Vaults: specialized strategies for lending, LPs, incentives, or RWAsBTC+ allocates capital across these vaults, optimizing based on real-time performance and risk thresholds. Together, they form a modular, interoperable system that gives BTC holders transparency, flexibility, and performance.7. You’ve talked about “institutionalizing Bitcoin” through CeDeFi validation. What does that mean in practice?Solv: CeDeFi combines DeFi composability with institutional safeguards — AML, KYC-controlled pools, off-chain audits.Partnerships with Binance provide infrastructure and distribution, while collaborations with BlackRock and Hamilton Lane enable RWA-backed yield. The goal: standardized rails for deploying Bitcoin at both retail and institutional scale.8. The Bitcoin Reserve Offering (BRO) targets institutions. How does it work, and why would a fund choose BRO instead of just holding BTC?Solv: BRO is the first on-chain, BTC-backed convertible bond — like a programmable MicroStrategy model.Funds that already hold BTC can:Earn capital-efficient yieldMaintain on-chain transparencyAccess Solv ecosystem upside through conversionStay aligned with compliance and custodial standardsBRO lets institutions go beyond passive BTC holding into productive deployment.9. Do you see BTC+ as a bridge between retail and institutional users?Solv: Yes. BTC+ is the first true convergence product.For retail: one-click on-chain yield.For institutions: risk-managed exposure with the same vaults and strategies.Different front doors, same infrastructure.10. Will BTC+ or SolvBTC integrate with Binance Earn, BNB Chain, or other Binance products?Solv: Absolutely. Our architecture was built for this. Imagine BTC+ vaults directly inside Binance Earn, or SolvBTC becoming the default wrapped BTC on BNB Chain.That’s not hypothetical — it’s on the roadmap.11. What role does the SOLV token play across BTC+ and your ecosystem?Solv: $SOLV is the coordination and incentive layer of Solv.Governance: token holders guide vault onboarding, fees, strategy approvalsIncentives: boosted rewards in BTC+ and xSolvBTCInstitutional Onramp: conversion asset for BRO, acting like an on-chain convertible bondStaking Utility: yield participation and protocol security via SALFee Benefits: discounts on performance and redemption feesAs BTC flows into Solv vaults, $SOLV aligns incentives across retail, institutions, and the protocol.12. With BTC+ launching, what milestones matter most over the next six months?Solv: Institutional adoption is the strongest validation signal — but we’re also focused on:TVL growth from long-term holdersInstitutional onboarding via BRO and SolvBTCRisk-adjusted performance and capital resilience across market cycles13. Finally, in one sentence, what’s Solv’s vision for Bitcoin over the next five years?Solv: Solv is building Bitcoin’s operating layer — a capital-efficient, yield-bearing infrastructure that connects the world’s hardest asset to where capital actually works.
