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.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
