Bitcoin, the real Ethereum killer? Bitcoin DeFi Could Change Everything

By Cyfab | Cypherpunk 2.0 | 14 May 2024


I was scrolling through crypto news today and stumbled upon something interesting: Binance Labs is investing in a project called Zest Protocol. Now, that might not sound like earth-shattering news, but here's the kicker: Zest is all about bringing on-chain Bitcoin lending to the Stacks Blockchain.

For those not in the crypto know, DeFi (Decentralized Finance) has pretty much been an Ethereum show. But could this be the sign of a Bitcoin DeFi revolution?

Think about it: Bitcoin is the OG cryptocurrency, the gold standard (literally!). If Bitcoin lending takes off, could it finally dethrone Ethereum as the king of DeFi?

Now, I'm not saying Ethereum is doomed. But this is definitely a development to watch. Could Bitcoin DeFi be the next big thing, or is it just a passing fad?
