Solv Protocol has announced its classification of underlying assets for its SolvBTC reserve. This standardization ensures security for users as well as yield-generating opportunities while maintaining liquidity.

As Solv Protocol continues to scale, the classification of assets serves as an essential layer of protection. The SolvBTC reserve categorizes assets into two groups: Core Reserve and Innovative Reserve. The Core Reserve consists of native BTC and BTCB (Binance-backed), while the Innovative Reserve includes wrapped assets WBTC, cbBTC, FBTC, BTC.b, and tBTC.

Solv is now one of the largest BTC Liquid Staking Token (LST) issuers to go multichain in terms of TVL and network connections, being accessible across more than ten blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum, with over 25,000 BTC in reserves (over $2 Billion).

This multichain expansion allows users to engage BTC in diverse DeFi strategies with its added utility, enabling staking and lending to maximize BTC’s liquidity and versatility across networks.

Furthermore, Solv is introducing the SOLV token utility for the first time, making Solv Protocol one of the first BTCFi protocols to classify its reserve assets.

While the classifications and parameters are currently decided by Solv Protocol, SOLV token holders will determine them once the platform fully transitions to decentralized governance.

Solv’s token utility is further amplified as SolvBTC was accepted into the core pool of Venus Protocol, the largest lending protocol on BNB Chain and in the top five globally on DeFiLlama. SolvBTC joins BTCB as the only BTC assets in the Venus core pool, enabling users to collateralize SolvBTC to borrow assets like BNB, further facilitating DeFi strategies, including participation in the Binance Launchpool.

“SolvBTC’s multichain deployment and our fresh approach to categorizing BTC reserves provide diversification and set a higher standard for Bitcoin utility in DeFi,” said Ryan Chow, Co-founder & CEO of Solv. “With our robust network connections and TVL, we allow Bitcoin to work across chains with more ways for users to leverage BTC in a secure and robust ecosystem like never before.”

This announcement follows Solv’s recent move to bring Bitcoin staking to broader adoption with its Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL). The SAL framework has facilitated the launch of four SolvBTC Liquid Staked Tokens (LSTs): SolvBTC.BBN (Babylon), SolvBTC.ENA (Ethena), SolvBTC.Core, and SolvBTC.JUP (Jupiter). The full tokenomics and additional utility of the SOLV token will be introduced in a multiphase rollout.
