Solv Protocol (SOLV) Launches Bitcoin-Linked Real-World Asset Yield Token: "On-Chain Real Economy Integration"

# Solv Protocol Introduces Bitcoin Yield Token on Avalanche Blockchain Solv Protocol has launched SolvBTC.AVAX, a Bitcoin (BTC)-based yield token on the Avalanche (AVAX) blockchain. This innovative token offers yield opportunities linked to real-world assets (RWA), targeting institutional investors seeking novel Bitcoin utilization methods. The May 16 launch of SolvBTC.AVAX signifies a notable achievement for Solv Protocol. This token bridges Bitcoin with economic assets like U.S. Treasury bonds and private credit from institutions such as BlackRock and Hamilton Lane. The project benefits from the collaboration of seven key partners, including Avalanche, Balancer, Elixir, Euler, Re7, LFJ, and Solv. “We are thrilled to announce that Solv is the first to introduce institutional-grade RWA yield to Bitcoin, drawing from $4 billion in assets by BlackRock BUIDL and Hamilton Lane SCOPE. With partners like Avalanche and Elixir, we are taking Bitcoin finance to the next level,” tweeted Solv Protocol on May 17, 2025. # Bridging Bitcoin with Real-World Assets Ryan Chow, co-founder of Solv Protocol, highlighted that the new token connects Bitcoin with economic assets such as U.S. government bonds and private credit markets. Chow stated, “This provides access to assets uncorrelated with Bitcoin’s traditional four-year boom-and-bust cycle.” SolvBTC.AVAX generates yield through a composite protocol strategy. This includes Elixir’s deUSD stablecoin, U.S. Treasuries, private credit assets from BlackRock and Hamilton Lane, and lending platform Euler. Representatives from Solv Protocol confirmed that the returns are distributed in Bitcoin. As a leading Bitcoin-centric staking platform, Solv Protocol emphasizes yield strategies across multiple blockchains and DeFi applications. The protocol currently oversees more than $2.3 billion in assets under management (AUM). # Growing Global Competition in Bitcoin Yield Products Increasing institutional interest in digital assets is driving demand for Bitcoin yield solutions. Earlier this month, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase launched a Bitcoin yield fund offering annual returns of 4% to 8%. This fund employs a strategy of buying BTC on the spot market while selling equivalent future contracts to generate yields. Satish Patel, an analyst at CoinShares, noted the growing interest in Bitcoin yields as of December last year. “Investors are viewing Bitcoin not just as a store of value but as a yield generation tool,” Patel remarked. Moreover, Michael Saylor has introduced a unique strategy with his "BTC Yield" metric for assessing Bitcoin investment performance. Since early 2023, Saylor’s approach has reported a yield of 15.5%. These developments highlight the escalating competition in the Bitcoin yield market as institutional players actively explore new opportunities to leverage cryptocurrency’s potential.
