Threshold Network

Base is establishing an early tBTC market structure, with approximately $1.31M in TVL distributed across Aave, Curve, and Aerodrome. That distribution matters because it shows tBTC operating across distinct layers of DeFi on Base: * Lending on Aave Labs * Liquidity routing on Curve Finance * Trading flow on Aerodrome For Bitcoin capital, this creates a clearer framework for collateral use and access to liquidity within a single network. Here is a current snapshot of tBTC positioning across Base protocols.

tBTC is scaling its footprint across BASE, with measurable gains in adoption and liquidity depth, reflected in the latest onchain metrics. This snapshot surfaces the core data points driving decentralized Bitcoin activity on the network as of March 2026. tBTC liquidity remains strong, with $4.14M in TVL (60.72 BTC) actively allocated across pools, indicating a dense, productive capital base. Transaction volume stabilizes, with cumulative activity accelerating through 2025 and into early 2026. Daily inflow and outflow trends point to sustained user engagement and consistent protocol utilization. Current supply levels on Base reflect growing trust in decentralized cross-chain assets. This liquidity facilitates sophisticated strategies for Bitcoin holders. View tBTC opportunities on Base via: https://lnkd.in/efPhJd5j

What Q4 tells us about tBTC in DeFi today Threshold DeFi TVL closed Q4 at $427M, down 3% QoQ in USD terms. That move was mostly price driven. BTC fell 23% QoQ, while underlying tBTC supply declined 7%. The more important point is what carried forward. tBTC v2 saw real adoption across DeFi in 2024, supported by key integrations including Aave in Sep 2024. By year end, Aave reached roughly $160M, or 37% of total DeFi TVL. That momentum is why this matters now. Even with Q4 price pressure, DeFi TVL was up 65% YoY in BTC terms and 55% YoY in USD terms. The signal is clear: deeper utility, broader deployment, and a stronger base entering this year. Source: Threshold Network Benchmark Report by @AleaResearch

Arbitrum now represents one of the more developed markets for tBTC, with approximately $3.26M in TVL across core DeFi venues. Current allocations on Aave, Curve, and Uniswap suggest that tBTC liquidity is functionally integrated into the network’s lending and exchange stack, giving Bitcoin capital multiple paths for deployment with visible market depth. Below is a snapshot of how tBTC is currently positioned across Arbitrum markets.

tBTC on Arbitrum shows retained BTC liquidity, growing participation, and sustained activity across cycles. Below is a performance snapshot using the latest Dune dashboard read. Current Metrics: Arbitrum currently carries ₿160.41376384 in tBTC TVL, valued at $11,594,471, held across 1,107 wallets. This is a meaningful BTC balance for a single L2 venue, with distribution that supports repeat usage rather than one-time deposits. Flows and Activity: Cumulative inflows remain consistently ahead of outflows throughout the period shown, keeping the network in a net-positive position. Daily flow data confirms active two-way movement, with frequent inflow bursts above 40 tBTC and periodic outflow days reaching roughly 30 tBTC, while the aggregate balance remains resilient. Supply has absorbed large expansions and resets, including a prior peak above 230 tBTC, a contraction below 100 tBTC, and a subsequent rebuild that stabilized in the 140 to 180 tBTC range, now sitting near 160 tBTC. Arbitrum retains BTC liquidity even as capital actively rotates. Access tBTC liquidity on Arbitrum via https://lnkd.in/gyEtaTPW

Alea Research has released the 2025 Benchmark Report on Threshold Network, delivering an independent and comprehensive evaluation of tBTC’s performance. The report analyzes supply growth, DeFi TVL, liquidity distribution across major venues, protocol fee dynamics, and token valuation multiples. Together, these metrics provide a structured, data-driven assessment of tBTC’s adoption, liquidity profile, and economic performance within Bitcoin’s expanding onchain ecosystem.

The Endur tBTC Staking Vault is now live on the Threshold app. Threshold validators have been integrated into Endur’s liquid staking infrastructure, supporting the routing of tBTC staking flows across Starknet. Through this collaboration, Threshold validators receive delegated tBTC stake via the protocol, strengthening validator participation while reinforcing the security of Endur’s BTCFi stack. This integration expands access to productive Bitcoin on Starknet and continues building deeper utility for tBTC within a growing onchain financial ecosystem.

Security is the foundation, but adoption follows utility. tBTC is now integrated across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Starknet Foundation, Base, Optimism Foundation, and Sui Foundation, with deep support across lending markets, DEXs, structured products, and staking infrastructure. What this means in practice is simple: BTC holders have broader access to liquidity, more flexibility in how they manage risk, and more capital efficient pathways into onchain markets, all while maintaining native BTC exposure. Utility drives staying power. And integrations across leading protocols are what turn infrastructure into real market relevance. Source: Threshold Network Blueprint report by Alea Research
