Bitcoin-Backed Stablecoin USDh Broadens Reach to Stacks L2 by Hermetica

Enabling Broader Access to Bitcoin-Based Decentralized Finance: USDh Arrives on Stacks Layer 2 Network

Key Points

  • Hermetica has expanded its Bitcoin-backed stablecoin, USDh, to the Stacks Layer 2 network, providing new DeFi options.
  • USDh, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar and backed by Bitcoin, allows users to earn up to 25% yield.

Hermetica has extended its Bitcoin-backed stablecoin, USDh, to the Stacks (STX) Layer 2 network. This significant move provides new opportunities for Bitcoin-based decentralized finance.

Users now have the ability to hold USDh, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar and fully backed by Bitcoin (BTC). This enables them to earn yields of up to 25%, providing a new avenue for income.

USDh and Bitcoin Ecosystem

Unlike conventional stablecoins backed by fiat reserves in banks, USDh is entirely linked to Bitcoin. This integration allows Bitcoin users to earn yield and transact in dollars without leaving the Bitcoin ecosystem.

USDh first gained popularity four months ago on Bitcoin’s Layer 1 and quickly attracted $2 million in Total Value Locked. This indicated a strong demand for Bitcoin-backed stablecoins. By extending to Stacks, a Bitcoin L2, Hermetica aims to reach a larger DeFi user base while still maintaining Bitcoin’s security features.

Integration with Decentralized Exchanges

Stacks, which was recently upgraded to offer faster block times, is an excellent platform for USDh’s expansion. Major decentralized exchanges like Bitflow Finance, Velar, and Zest Protocol are integrating USDh, boosting its use in the ecosystem. This launch aims to tap into Bitcoin’s untapped potential, allowing holders to access stablecoin liquidity without leaving the Bitcoin environment.

With only 1% of Bitcoin’s $1.3 trillion market cap involved in DeFi, USDh has the potential to bridge the gap between Bitcoin’s value and the expanding DeFi market.
