Bitcoin liquidity protocol that enables loans, yield and trading

Problem

Bitcoin is the world’s most trusted asset, but ironically, Bitcoin finance is one of the hardest things to use. There are more than 400 lending and yield protocols, over 50 types of wrapped Bitcoin, and they all live on dozens of chains. Retail and institutional users have a difficult time finding all of these different opportunities. Wallets can’t integrate them because there is no single, native-BTC infra solution. Existing services are either custodial, KYC-heavy, region-gated products with high rates, or fragmented DeFi options that demand deep market knowledge.

This fragmentation creates huge missed opportunities worth billions of dollars. 120+ million BTC users can’t borrow, earn, or trade with their BTC in their favorite wallet or dApp. Mainstream retail does not have a simple app to buy Bitcoin and get easy access to credit or yield.

Competitive Landscape

Sats Terminal operates in a competitive landscape defined by three primary categories:

• CeFi (e.g. Revolut, Nexo, Lava)
• DeFi (Aave, Morpho, native-BTC lending, DEXes, yield farming)
• Infra (e.g. Portal to Bitcoin, LI.FI, Morpho API).

While these alternatives deliver access to crypto finance, they face critical limitations that Sats Terminal’s unique architecture overcomes.

Key Competitors:

• Revolut: one of the largest neobanks and offers crypto, including buy/sell and trading of Bitcoin and other assets inside an app. However, it is fully custodial, KYC-heavy, and region-gated, and it treats BTC as one of the asset rather than as core collateral. Users must give up their keys and rely entirely on Revolut’s internal pricing, access to Web3 opportunities, and compliance stack. Revolut does not offer its crypto infrastructure products.
• Babylon: Babylon and similar native-Bitcoin protocols (e.g. Lombard) enable BTC holders to earn yield or access credit. They demonstrate strong demand for Bitcoin yield and BTC-backed borrowing, with large amounts of BTC locked in these protocols. However, there protocols usually offer low APY (1.13% max on Babylon) and to get max APY you need to dual-stake BTC and protocol’s native token (e.g. BABY).
• Portal to Bitcoin and ****similar infrastructure providers offer APIs and tooling that connect apps and other chains to Bitcoin liquidity. They are useful building blocks for specific use cases, but they are not a full-stack Bitcoin infra that offers loans, yield and trading products.

Differentiation:

Sats Terminal disrupts this landscape by bringing Bitcoin as a key asset, collateral that unlocks credit, yield and trading. Everything is packaged in a single infrastructure engine and a superapp. Sats Terminal allows users to bypass the need for custodial platforms, complex DeFi setups, or custom multi-protocol integrations. Its core advantages include:

• Bitcoin-First Design: Sats Terminal is designed around Bitcoin as primary collateral and savings. We’re turning Bitcoin into working capital and designing our tech stack around it as the primary asset.
• Self-custody and no-KYC: You don’t need KYC to get a loan, earn, trade and even buy* Bitcoin (> $500/week no KYC). Wallet infrastructure is powered by Privy and is fully non-custodial.
• Best Rates and Deep Liquidity: By aggregating all major credit, yield, and trading opportunities, Sats Terminal consistently offers best rates and deepest liquidity. That clear value proposition makes it easier to onboard users and partners, and over time becomes the distribution wedge for introducing our own native lending products and vaults through the superapp and existing SDK integrations.
