Chainflip to Launch Native BTC Lending and Liquidity Loans

Chainflip announced the launch of native Bitcoin lending and cross-chain liquidity lending systems, including Common Lending (CGL) and Chainflip Liquidity Lending (CLL). These systems enable cross-chain lending of native BTC and other major assets without relying on wrapped tokens, bridges, or centralized intermediaries. This will address long-standing issues in DeFi lending, such as taxation of wrapped assets and centralized custody restrictions. Demand is expected to reach $100 million to $5 billion, with protocol fees of 20-30%, generating annual revenue of $1 million to $100 million. CGL is planned for a gradual rollout in Q3 2025, with CLL expected to launch in Q4, marking a significant milestone in the development of cross-chain DeFi.
