Lombard: Unlocking Bitcoin DeFi Through Liquid, Yield-Bearing LBTC - Jacob Phillips

Episode Summary

We were joined by Jacob Phillips, co-founder of Lombard, to discuss the state of Bitcoin DeFi and how LBTC aims to unlock new sources of liquidity and yield through DeFi.

Episode Notes

Bitcoin remains an untapped source of net-new liquidity that could be injected into DeFi. This would completely reshape Bitcoin’s utilization from a mere store of value to a liquid asset that can be ported cross-chain and traded like a liquid staking derivative. Lombard’s LBTC builds upon Babylon’s Bitcoin staking primitive and aims to unlock new yield sources for the industry’s leading asset by increasing its DeFi utilization.
