**[Chainflip to Launch Native BTC Lending and Liquidity Loans]** Chainflip has announced plans to introduce a native Bitcoin lending and cross-chain liquidity loan system, including Universal Lending (CGL) and Chainflip Liquidity Lending (CLL). This system will enable cross-chain lending of native BTC and other major assets without relying on wrapped tokens, bridges, or centralized intermediaries. It aims to address long-standing issues in the DeFi lending space, such as taxation on wrapped assets and limitations of centralized custody. The projected demand is estimated to reach $1 billion to $5 billion, with protocol fees ranging from 20-30%, potentially generating annual revenue of $1 million to $100 million. CGL is scheduled for gradual rollout in Q3 2025, while CLL is expected to go live in Q4, marking a significant milestone in the development of cross-chain DeFi.
