SINGAPORE, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bedrock, the leading multi-asset restaking protocol in decentralized finance (DeFi), today announced its expansion to the Aptos blockchain. This integration brings Bedrock’s flagship BTCFi assets, uniBTC and brBTC, to Aptos with trading and liquidity incentives on Hyperion.
Cross-Chain Access to Aptos
uniBTC and brBTC can now be bridged to Aptos via Interport, secured by Chainlink CCIP. This enables seamless connectivity across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Aptos. Once bridged, users can immediately deploy their assets into Hyperion liquidity pools to start earning yield.
“With brBTC, we introduced the concept of BTCFi 2.0, expanding Bitcoin’s role beyond a passive store of value into a productive asset across multiple ecosystems. Launching uniBTC and brBTC on Aptos is a key step in that journey, bringing secure, yield-bearing Bitcoin to a high-performance DeFi network,” said Zhuling Chen, Core Contributor at Bedrock.
Strengthening BTCFi on Aptos
In recent months, Aptos has introduced multiple Bitcoin-backed assets with integrations across leading DeFi protocols such as Aries Markets, Echo Protocol, Hyperion, and Thala. Today, Aptos hosts over $400 million in BTC-backed assets and $1.17 billion in stablecoin liquidity, underscoring its growing role in BTCFi.
By enabling uniBTC and brBTC, Bedrock adds secure, yield-bearing Bitcoin assets to this ecosystem. Aptos users can already earn yields on Hyperion pools, with more opportunities coming soon as uniBTC and brBTC go live on Aries Markets.
“Bitcoin remains the most important asset in crypto, and enabling it on Aptos is central to our mission of building an open, accessible financial system,” said Ash Pampati, SVP, Head of Ecosystem at Aptos. “With uniBTC and brBTC bridged securely through CCIP, Bedrock is deepening BTCFi liquidity on Aptos and creating new cross-chain opportunities for users and builders alike.”
Bedrock’s Multi-Chain Growth
With this expansion, Bedrock continues to scale across ecosystems. The protocol now secures nearly $700 million in total value locked (TVL), with more than 5,000 BTC staked across 15+ supported chains. This broad adoption positions uniBTC and brBTC as leading Bitcoin-backed assets available across the multi-chain DeFi landscape.
