Threshold Network is scaling to meet institutional demand, and just announced its expansion strategy and the launch of the redesigned tBTC app to bridge $500B in Bitcoin into DeFi. tBTC is the trusted, tokenized Bitcoin bridge that connects institutional capital with decentralized markets. Threshold Network is the decentralized protocol powering tBTC, a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed decentralized wrapped Bitcoin built for DeFi. tBTC is integrated across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Sui++, powering cross-chain Bitcoin liquidity. It has exceeded $700M in TVL and recorded over $4.2B in bridge volume since 2020, establishing itself as one of the most resilient decentralized Bitcoin infrastructures in the market. On DefiLlama, tBTC is ranked number 3 among BTCfi protocols and number 1 in the “Decentralised BTC” category. @TheTNetwork's institutional expansion draws from strong onchain data lately: 157k Bitcoin addresses each hold over $1M, and 19k addys hold over $10M, totaling around $500B in value. Institutional holdings reached $414B by August 2025, with ETF inflows and corporate treasuries accelerating adoption. In other words, there’s a lot of BTC sitting idle! The upgraded tBTC app enables direct minting to supported chains and direct redemption to Bitcoin’s mainnet, ensuring liquidity and full control. Its gasless minting feature removes wallet signatures and fees, while one-step transactions simplify treasury operations. As institutional Bitcoin officially moves onchain, Threshold Network stands as the infrastructure ready to bridge potentially $500B in capital into decentralized markets. Happy to be an investor in the project.
