Bitcoin News Today: Volo Launches wBTC Vault to Boost Bitcoin DeFi on Sui

Volo, a leading liquid staking platform on the Sui blockchain, has launched the wBTC Vault, a new decentralized finance product aimed at unlocking Bitcoin liquidity within the Sui ecosystem. This innovation allows users to execute DeFi strategies with a single command via Sui, without the need to create new wallets or engage with complex tools. By integrating wBTC with NAVI Protocol’s liquidity infrastructure, the product streamlines access to yield generation and leverage, making DeFi more accessible to a broader audience [2].

The wBTC Vault further strengthens Sui’s position as a prominent Bitcoin DeFi Layer. The blockchain now hosts over 1,000 BTC in liquidity, with Bitcoin-related assets accounting for more than 10% of the chain’s total value locked (TVL). This development aligns with Sui’s mission to provide a high-performance, secure, and scalable environment for decentralized financial applications [2].

Volo’s vSUI liquid staking token has already attracted $50 million in TVL, backed by audits from leading security firms including Ottersec, Movebit, and Hacken. The platform was developed by NAVI Labs and supported by major investors such as OKX Ventures, Hashed, and Dao5. These credentials underscore Volo’s commitment to security and usability, two key pillars of its product design [2].

The collaboration with NAVI Protocol enables automatic yield maximization and automated execution of DeFi strategies, reducing the complexity typically associated with decentralized finance. According to Volo lead Ben Liu, this integration “transforms Bitcoin from a static asset into a dynamic, programmable force, unlocking unparalleled opportunities for users” [2]. NAVI co-founder Elliscope Fang added that the platform’s infrastructure is ideal for supporting such innovations, allowing Volo to deliver intuitive and high-yield solutions [2].

Volo’s roadmap includes expanding its vault offerings to include various BTC derivatives, alternative versions of Bitcoin, stablecoins, and other altcoins. These additions aim to enhance capital efficiency and ease of use across the DeFi landscape. The wBTC Vault itself serves as a bridge between the $1.6 trillion Bitcoin market and the rapidly expanding DeFi applications on Sui [2].

With its user-centric design and robust infrastructure, Volo continues to solidify Sui’s reputation as an enterprise-grade DeFi platform. The launch of the wBTC Vault marks a strategic milestone in the broader movement of Bitcoin DeFi on Sui, demonstrating the chain’s capability to support advanced financial tools while maintaining security and performance [2].
