Market Cap
What Are BTCfi Coins?
BTCfi coins are tokens of projects that bring decentralized finance (DeFi) to Bitcoin. BTCfi is short for "Bitcoin DeFi." These projects let people lend, borrow, stake or trade with their BTC instead of only holding it. This list ranks BTCfi coins by market cap, with live prices and 24h changes.
Quick Facts
- Meaning: BTCfi means Bitcoin decentralized finance.
- Goal: Earn, borrow or trade with BTC without selling it.
- Main tools: Wrapped BTC, Bitcoin layer 2 networks, Bitcoin staking and cross-chain swaps.
- Examples: Wrapped BTC, Stacks, Babylon and THORChain.
- Ranking: Coins are ranked by market cap, which is price times circulating supply.
How BTCfi Works
Bitcoin's own scripting is simple. It was not built to run complex apps like Ethereum. BTCfi projects solve this in a few different ways.
- Wrapped Bitcoin: A token on another chain that tracks the price of BTC, like WBTC or tBTC. It lets BTC be used in DeFi apps on Ethereum and other networks.
- Bitcoin layer 2s and sidechains: Networks like Stacks add smart contracts that connect to Bitcoin.
- Bitcoin staking: Protocols like Babylon let BTC holders lock their coins to help secure other networks, in return for rewards.
- Cross-chain swaps: Protocols like THORChain let people swap native BTC for other coins without a central exchange.
- Liquid staking tokens: Some projects give you a token that represents your staked BTC, so you can still use it in DeFi.
BTCfi vs DeFi on Ethereum
DeFi on Ethereum grew on a chain built for smart contracts. BTCfi has to add this ability around Bitcoin. That is why many BTCfi tools rely on bridges, wrapped tokens or extra layers. The main draw is that Bitcoin is one of the largest and most widely held crypto assets.
Risks
BTCfi adds new trust and code risks to BTC. Wrapped tokens depend on the custodian or bridge that holds the real BTC. Smart contract bugs, bridge hacks and staking penalties can lead to losses. Check how each project holds and secures BTC before you use it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is BTCfi?
BTCfi is short for Bitcoin decentralized finance, or Bitcoin DeFi. It covers apps and networks that let people lend, borrow, stake, swap or earn with BTC. Instead of only holding Bitcoin, users can put it to work. BTCfi uses tools such as wrapped BTC, Bitcoin layer 2 networks, Bitcoin staking and cross-chain swaps.
- What is a BTCfi coin?
A BTCfi coin is the token of a project that builds DeFi for Bitcoin. Some are wrapped versions of BTC, like WBTC or tBTC. Others are the native tokens of Bitcoin layer 2 networks or staking protocols, such as Stacks or Babylon. The list above ranks these coins by market cap, with live prices.
- How does Bitcoin DeFi work?
Bitcoin DeFi works by adding smart contract features around Bitcoin. Users can wrap BTC so it runs on another chain, use a Bitcoin layer 2 like Stacks, or stake BTC through a protocol like Babylon. Some protocols, like THORChain, swap native BTC across chains. Each method has its own trust model and risks.
- What are the best BTCfi coins?
We do not give investment advice. The list above ranks BTCfi coins by market cap and updates live. Well-known examples include Wrapped BTC, Stacks, Babylon and THORChain. To compare them, look at market cap, trading volume, the 24h change and how long each project has been running. Also check how it secures user BTC.
- Is BTCfi safe?
BTCfi carries more risk than simply holding BTC in your own wallet. Wrapped tokens depend on whoever holds the real Bitcoin. Bridges and smart contracts can have bugs or be hacked. Staking may include penalties. Read how a project secures funds, check for audits, and only use amounts you can afford to lose.
- What is the difference between BTCfi and DeFi?
DeFi is the wide term for financial apps that run on blockchains without banks. BTCfi is the part of DeFi that focuses on Bitcoin. Most DeFi started on Ethereum, which supports smart contracts natively. BTCfi needs extra layers, wrapped tokens or bridges, because Bitcoin itself has limited smart contract features.
