A new decentralized Bitcoin derivative by Lombard Finance is set to offer 1% APY while maintaining full BTC backing across bridge to Solana.

Summary
  • Lombard Finance will offer the yield bearing asset alongside Base, Sui and Ethereum offerings.
  • Yield bearing on Solana in Bitcoin is the latest offering to bring the protocol’s $1.5 billion in capital to the layer 1.

On Aug. 28, Lombard Finance officially launched LBTC, its yield-bearing Bitcoin token, on Solana (SOL), bringing the protocol’s $1.5 billion in circulating capital to a Bitcoin fusion with rival layer-1 Solana.

How Lombard Finance’s yield-bearing Bitcoin will transform DeFi on Solana

The SPL token represents a significant expansion for LBTC, which already operates on Ethereum (ETH), Base (BASE), and Sui (SUI) networks, but now will offer 1% APY though Bitcoin staking via Babylon Labs, the company said in a social media post.

As part of the arrangement, Lombard Finance will maintain full decentralization of its BTC through its Security Consortium validator network that allows for real-time proof of reserves for complete transparency.

Lombard Finance embarks on new Bitcoin yield bearing entities

The token’s non-rebasing design, the company says, will allow for seamless integration into decentralized finance protocols, money markets, and structured products without compatibility issues faced by other bridges. This feature addresses a critical limitation in the current Solana Bitcoin ecosystem, where users have been restricted to non-yielding BTC derivatives from centralized issuers.

Solana users will be able access LBTC through four primary methods: directly staking Bitcoin to mint LBTC as an SPL token, swapping cbBTC for LBTC with minimal 1 basis point fees on Meteora, or converting any asset to LBTC, or bridging existing LBTC from Ethereum using LayerZero infrastructure.

The launch includes immediate integration with major Solana protocols. Users can trade LBTC/SOL perpetuals on Drift Protocol, utilize the token in lending markets on Jupiter and Kamino Finance, and benefit from near-zero fee swaps on Meteora from day one.

The expansion represents Lombard’s strategy to capture growing demand for yield-generating Bitcoin products while maintaining the security and upside potential that makes Bitcoin attractive to institutional and retail investors seeking capital efficiency improvements.

Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth

The post Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Slate Classic Chocolate milk shake Slate A new slate of functional beverages is about to dominate the ready-to-drink shelf, ushering in a more modern era of easily incorporating more protein in our diets. Today, Slate Milk cofounders Manny Lubin and Josh Belinsky reveal the brand has raised a $23 million Series B funding round. Led by Foundership, a new fund by Yasso frozen greek yogurt cofounders Drew Harrington and Amanda Klane, the money will allow Slate to continue its momentum towards ubiquity as it hits 100,000 points of distribution across 20,000 stores nationwide by the end of 2025. Slate also reveals that it is rolling out several line extensions including a 20 gram protein Strawberry milk at Sprouts Farmers Market, a 30 gram protein Cookies & Cream milk at Target, and a 30 gram protein Salted Caramel flavor at Walmart and Albertsons banner stores. New “Ultra” 42 gram protein options in Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel will also be available in retailers across the country. “Stores where we may have just had our ready-to-drink lattes, now we’re adding our shakes, and vice versa. We’re adding new partners and executing deeper with our existing partners,” Lubin tells me. The impressive growth is due to Slate’s early entry into the high-protein product space slightly before it caught mainstream attention–ready to execute immediately once consumers craved it most. Slate’s macronutrient ratios are practically unbeatable, largely due to the utilization of ultra-filtered milk. It’s a protein drink that writes a new script about who protein drinks are for. “We’re not sons of dairy farmers. We had no milk history,” Lubin says “We’re just a couple of dudes from the burbs of Boston who like chocolate milk.” Slate cofounder Manny Lubin Slate Another Clean Slate Slate’s brand has evolved significantly in just the past six…
