Bitlayer has formed strategic partnerships with Base, Starknet, Arbitrum, Sonic, and Plume Network to jointly promote the landing of the first BitVM application.
Today, Bitlayer, a Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystem project leading the implementation of BitVM, announced a strategic partnership with five leading public chains and protocols including Base, Starknet, Arbitrum, Sonic, and Plume Network. Through the integration of the BitVM Bridge, Bitlayer will connect to a multi-chain ecosystem worth over a hundred billion dollars, opening up new opportunities for users seeking to unlock the potential returns of Bitcoin assets and significantly increasing Bitcoin's liquidity in these thriving blockchain ecosystems.
Base: The BitVM Bridge supported by Bitlayer will connect Bitcoin with the Base network ecosystem, significantly enhancing Bitcoin's liquidity in the Base ecosystem. The cbBTC introduced by Base enables Bitcoin holders to use BTC assets in EVM-compatible blockchain ecosystems, effectively bridging the application gap between Bitcoin and decentralized finance.
Arbitrum: Through the Bitlayer BitVM Bridge, Arbitrum users will achieve asset interoperability with the Bitcoin network in a trust-minimized framework. Leveraging a mature and highly liquid DeFi ecosystem, Arbitrum is poised to become a pioneer in bringing true decentralized finance into the Bitcoin space.
Starknet: The integration of BitVM Bridge with Starknet will provide Bitcoin users with instant transactions based on STARK proof security and extremely low fees. Through the user experience akin to Web2 enabled by Starknet's native account abstraction technology, both parties will jointly build a Bitcoin DeFi hub to help users fully unlock the value of Bitcoin.
Plume Network: As the first full-stack L1 public chain designed for Real-World Asset Finance (RWAFi), Plume Network will receive Bitcoin ecosystem liquidity support through the BitVM Bridge. Bitlayer and Plume will collaborate to advance the standardization of RWA, laying the foundation for the introduction of institutional-grade financial products.
Sonic: Bitlayer's BitVM Bridge solution will integrate with Solana's first SVM chain, Sonic, focusing on supporting game and app development. This collaboration will support the construction of a Web3 version of the TikTok application, attracting the next wave of billion-level users to the blockchain industry.
Leveraging a Strategic Integration Framework to Achieve BitVM Technological Breakthrough
As the world's first team to implement BitVM in practice, Bitlayer is leading the Bitcoin technology innovation—unlocking native programmability and scalability without a fork. The Bitlayer-developed BitVM Bridge, leveraging the advanced BitVM technological paradigm, is reshaping the innovation frontier of Bitcoin cross-chain technology.
The most direct value of this strategic integration is that the BitVM Bridge will activate the liquidity potential of Bitcoin's trillion-dollar market cap, allowing users from blockchain ecosystems such as Base, Starknet, Arbitrum, Sonic, and Plume Network to seamlessly access diversified DeFi yield opportunities while enjoying Bitcoin's top-tier security.
Through this integration, BTC will be able to unlock the following core use cases on the target chain and drive rapid growth in the liquidity of the corresponding blockchain:
· Liquidity Mining: BTC holders will be able to earn liquidity rewards through various DeFi protocols like Aerodrome, AAVE, Silo Finance, and more.
· Collateralized Lending: Bitcoin assets can be used as collateral for lending operations, enabling asset leverage in the decentralized finance sector.
· Staking Rewards: Users can stake BTC in supporting protocols to earn additional rewards, establishing a multi-tiered participation incentive system.
This collaboration of BitVM Bridge with leading public chains will awaken the long-standing practical value and liquidity potential of Bitcoin, unleashing its vitality in a multi-chain ecosystem.
Future Outlook
The integration of Bitlayer's BitVM Bridge with partners marks a significant milestone in the practical application of BitVM. Through the trust-minimized BitVM Bridge, we are witnessing the rise of a unified ecosystem anchored around Bitcoin's value, which will serve as the core engine driving DeFi development.
Following this important integration, Bitlayer will continue to expand its deep collaboration with blockchain infrastructure, DeFi protocols, and the native BTC protocol, ultimately establishing a robust BitVM ecosystem. Stay tuned for more updates from Bitlayer.

Bloomberg: As Bitcoin Weakens, Stablecoins and RWA Continue to Drive Expansion in Crypto Businesses
In June, Bloomberg reported that despite Bitcoin falling below $60,000 last week, wiping out about $235 billion in market value within seven days, and dropping close to 50% from last year’s peak, some core businesses in the crypto industry are still expanding, mainly in stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization (RWA), payments, and infrastructure. The report also noted that overall altcoin activity has contracted significantly: altcoin market capitalization has fallen from a peak of about $431 billion in November 2021 to around $170 billion, and among the tens of millions of tokens issued in recent years, fewer than 1,700 still maintain meaningful trading activity.

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up
Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.
ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately
On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
