Key Points

• RGB Expands Bitcoin's Role: Driven by BiHelix, Bitcoin is transforming from "digital gold" into a foundational layer capable of supporting diverse assets and smart contracts, while maintaining the main chain's lightweight and security.
• Security Drives Adoption: Bitcoin's proof-of-work mechanism and global consensus provide the most solid foundation for the issuance of high-value assets.
• XT × BiHelix Opens Early Access: Through strategic cooperation, XT users will be the first to access and trade Bitcoin-native assets, enjoying liquidity and first-mover advantages.
• Wallet Enhances Usability: With the support of wallets like BitPocket, users can transfer and utilize RGB assets, including stablecoins, at low cost and high efficiency.
• Challenges are Opportunities: The developer tools, industry collaboration, and educational promotion led by XT will transform early barriers into driving forces for the development of the RGB ecosystem.

Over the past decade, thousands of new assets have emerged on chains like Ethereum and Solana, while Bitcoin has remained the most silent giant in the crypto world, passively guarding but unable to create. RGB is breaking this situation.

As a smart contract and asset issuance framework based on Bitcoin and integrated with the Lightning Network, RGB has the potential to truly upgrade Bitcoin into the infrastructure of the asset economy.

XT is also very proud to announce that it has become the world's first trading platform to support both RGB and the Lightning Network simultaneously. To commemorate this milestone, XT has reached a strategic cooperation with BiHelix, the core infrastructure builder of RGB. To help everyone better understand the significance, XT held an AMA on September 17, 2025, inviting four guests deeply involved in building the future of Bitcoin assets:

–BiHelixCEO Bibo (@beeblebrox_G)

– XT Greater China Representative Eric (@Eric 8_88)

– RGB|Asia Founder Bangzhu (@bangzhu_x)

–BitPocketCo-founder Nolan (@BitPocketWallet)

The entire event revolved around four key questions:

1. What problems does RGB actually solve?

2. Why choose to issue assets on Bitcoin?

3. What opportunities can ordinary users feel first?

4. What challenges does RGB face, and how can they be transformed into opportunities?

This discussion not only revealed the technical value of RGB but also outlined how Bitcoin is gradually moving towards the "asset economy era."

XT and BiHelix: Building a New Future for Bitcoin Assets Together

What Problems Does RGB Solve for Bitcoin?

To understand the significance of RGB, the guests first explained what it brings to Bitcoin.

BiHelix CEO Bibo pointed out from a technical perspective that RGB enables Bitcoin to carry assets and smart contracts while maintaining the security and lightweight nature of the underlying chain.

“The RGB protocol is essentially a Turing-complete smart contract layer on Bitcoin. It originated from academic papers around 2017-2018 and gradually developed into a stable version in 2023. It solves several core issues: the first is scalability. Bitcoin itself has a block time of ten minutes, which limits speed, while RGB combined with the Lightning Network can achieve throughput similar to Visa. The second is smart contract capability. Bitcoin previously lacked native smart contract support, and RGB fills this gap. The third is privacy. All transactions on Ethereum are almost transparent, while RGB offers strong privacy and optional regulatory openness, making it very suitable for commercial scenarios like finance. Most importantly, it does not require cross-chain; BTC can be used directly on the second layer. These features allow the Bitcoin ecosystem to support more complex applications and larger-scale assets.”

RGB|Asia Founder Bangzhu emphasized that RGB is changing Bitcoin's positioning in the industry.

“In the past, people's impression of Bitcoin was just a store of value, something to buy and hold. In fact, most people do not have a deep understanding of Bitcoin's technology. With the emergence of RGB, people suddenly realize that Bitcoin is not just digital gold; it can also carry applications. Just like a beautiful woman should not be kept at home, Bitcoin should truly go out and play its role. For me, the emergence of RGB allows us to reassess the industry's endgame; Bitcoin may occupy a core position in the global financial system in the future. Its security, speed, and diverse functionalities will make Bitcoin truly the foundation of free finance.”

BitPocket Co-founder Nolan added from a product perspective:

“RGB is currently still in the stage of moving from concept to application testing. It's like Tesla launching the Roadster in 2008; it's still early but has huge potential. We chose to integrate RGB into wallets first because wallets are the key to connecting users. In the future, when RGB enters the mature application stage, wallets will become the most important entry point. At that time, users will be able to transfer, pay, and hold different assets as easily as using WeChat Pay, without worrying about the underlying complexity.”

XT Chinese Representative Eric also discussed the significance for the XT community:

“RGB is indeed a very powerful new protocol, but for ordinary users, its learning curve is quite steep. You need to understand nodes, channels, and even command line operations, which is a barrier for many people. XT's positioning is to shield all this technical complexity. Users just need to open the XT app to directly buy, sell, and store RGB assets, and the experience is not much different from operating regular BTC, ETH, or USDT. XT is also very proud to be the world's first trading platform to support both RGB and LN. This means XT users can access the new opportunities brought by RGB right away.”

The consensus among the four guests is very clear: RGB fills the flexibility gap in Bitcoin, opening a new door towards the asset economy.

Why Developers Choose to Issue Assets on Bitcoin through RGB

After clarifying RGB's foundational role, host Laureen (@xinyifengX) shifted the topic to another key point: If RGB can make Bitcoin stronger, why would developers and project parties truly choose to issue assets on Bitcoin?

Bibo (@beeblebrox_G) emphasized Bitcoin's irreplaceable security and long-term value support:

“Bitcoin is the truly decentralized network; no country can arbitrarily freeze or tamper with it. Especially after recent asset freezing incidents on traditional public chains, this point becomes irreplaceable. We even gave an example: if in the future there is a Mars colony, and Elon Musk's grandson wants to trade rare resources with Earth, then this interplanetary scenario, which requires absolute privacy and instant settlement, can only be achieved with Bitcoin plus RGB.”

Bangzhu (@bangzhu_x) expanded the perspective to industry trends:

“In fact, the ultimate significance of many chains' existence is to ensure Bitcoin's success. In the past, people may have focused on other ecosystems, but the market rhythm has pushed us back to Bitcoin. Bitcoin has the largest consensus and the strongest security, which means that even if you want to 'set up a game,' doing it on Bitcoin will be more appealing and persuasive. Therefore, more and more developers and institutions are turning to Bitcoin, treating it as the true mother chain of assets.”

Eric (@Eric 8_88) explained why XT is intervening at this time:

“XT chose to strategically partner with BiHelix at this moment because we see the trend taking shape. For example, Tether recently announced plans to issue USDT on RGB, which is a very clear signal. In the future, as more stablecoins, RWA, and even financial-grade assets migrate to the Bitcoin network, XT users will benefit first. What we need to do is to occupy the ecosystem in advance, ensuring that users do not have to wait or explore but can directly access and trade these Bitcoin-native assets on XT. For users, this is not just a technical upgrade but a long-term strategic advantage.”

This discussion once again highlighted a conclusion: security, global consensus, and market demand are collectively pushing Bitcoin towards becoming the preferred issuance network for high-value assets.

User Opportunities from RGB and XT × BiHelix Strategic Cooperation

After clarifying why Bitcoin is suitable as a foundation for asset issuance, the AMA shifted to the point most concerning to users: what practical opportunities do these developments bring to ordinary users?

Bibo emphasized the changes in the issuance model itself:

“RGB has a significant advantage in asset issuance because it can greatly reduce costs. In the past, if you wanted to airdrop to hundreds of thousands or even millions of users, it was almost unimaginable on the mainnet. But last year, we used RGB technology on the second layer to airdrop to over 1 million Bitcoin users, costing only 6.9 Bitcoins in total. This difference in efficiency and cost will fundamentally change the issuance model in many traditional industries.”

Nolan (@BitPocketWallet) explained the significance of RGB from the wallet perspective:

“Most users who buy an RGB token have not truly experienced the technical benefits of RGB. The key is to transform the breakthroughs at the underlying level into product experiences. For example, the transaction fees for Lightning Network transfers are over 30 times cheaper than those on the Bitcoin mainnet, but many people have never used it. RGB places assets directly into such channels, allowing users to genuinely feel the speed and cost-effectiveness. Our wallet will become the connection point, hiding the complex technical details, allowing users to use it as naturally as WeChat Pay.”

Eric specifically discussed XT's role:

“For users, technical breakthroughs sound cool, but what they really care about is one question: 'What does this mean for me?' The emergence of RGB translates into a comprehensive upgrade in the daily operations of XT users. First, we will prioritize launching RGB native assets in the BiHelix ecosystem, allowing XT users to be among the first to trade these new assets directly. Second, the operation will be very convenient. The experience of RGB assets on XT will be no different from that of ordinary currencies; you do not need to understand the details of Taproot, UTXO, or LN channels, nor do you need to download additional wallets. Third, we will combine trading activities with educational promotions to help everyone get started faster. For example, in the early stages of RGB asset launch, there will be trading incentives and exclusive AMA events to ensure that everyone can gain tangible benefits while learning and using.”

Here, the topic shifted from infrastructure to tangible benefits. Ordinary users do not need to become developers or technical experts to feel the changes brought by RGB.

Challenges and Growth Opportunities in the RGB Ecosystem

Host Laureen (@xinyifengX) mentioned that any new technology will encounter several barriers in its early stages, so she asked the guests to share: what challenges does RGB face, and how can these challenges be transformed into new opportunities?

Bibo focused on developer tools and ecosystem implementation:

“As Nolan mentioned earlier, BiHelix's role in the entire RGB ecosystem is somewhat like an operating system. Our goal is to simplify the complex technical details of the RGB protocol so that developers do not have to get bogged down in complex discussions about underlying code but can quickly build DApps, issue assets, or trading systems in the Bitcoin ecosystem. There are still many challenges now, such as familiarizing everyone with RGB through more asset issuance, while we are also promoting integration with the Lightning Network. These processes require time and continuous tool optimization and education.”

Bangzhu emphasized the importance of industry synergy:

“For RGB to go mainstream, it is not just a matter for one company. It requires the entire industry's push, including exchanges, wallets, infrastructure teams, and developers, to form a synergy. Only then can RGB truly become a standard that is widely accepted by the market.”

Nolan approached it from the wallet perspective:

“The maturity of RGB technology will still take time. In the next one to two years, wallets will face several key challenges: the underlying code still needs researchers to focus more, product experience must continuously improve, and we also need to address the two biggest concerns of users — usability and security. If wallets can work on user education and experience to lower the barriers, then the speed of adoption will be much faster.”

XT and BiHelix: Building a New Future for Bitcoin Assets Together

This discussion concluded on a positive note, with several key pieces of information particularly highlighted:

1. RGB expands Bitcoin's role. Bitcoin is no longer just "digital gold"; it is becoming the underlying foundation for asset issuance and smart contracts.

2. Bitcoin is the best home for high-value assets. With its security and global consensus, it is naturally the most solid carrying network.

3. Users will benefit first. Whether in trading, liquidity, or the formation of future new standards, early users have the opportunity to seize the initiative.

4. Challenges are also opportunities. Breakthroughs in developer tools, industry collaboration, wallet experience, and exchange support will all transform into driving forces for the growth of RGB.

Host Laureen (@xinyifengX) emphasized the next steps in her summary:

“RGB is still in its early stages, but the foundation has been laid. Under the leadership of XT and BiHelix, Bitcoin is evolving from a store of value into the mother of the asset economy. The next wave of stablecoins, RWA, and NFTs may land faster than everyone expects, and XT users will be among the earliest participants.”

The cooperation between XT and BiHelix marks a new starting point. For users, the information is clear: the Bitcoin asset economy has begun, and the door to opportunity has been opened.
