Bedrock’s Bitcoin liquid restaking tokens, uniBTC and brBTC, are now live on Aptos — bringing BTC-backed yield and liquidity to one of the fastest-growing Layer 1 ecosystems.
With Bedrock, Aptos users can now hold Bitcoin-backed assets that earn rewards while staying liquid, opening the door to new DeFi opportunities across trading, liquidity provision, and lending.
Why Aptos?
Aptos is making a major move into BTCFi, with strong support for Bitcoin-bearing assets. Today, Aptos hosts more than $385 million in BTC-backed assets and $1.17 billion in stablecoin liquidity, underscoring its position as one of the most capable destinations for Bitcoin in DeFi.
By bringing uniBTC and brBTC to Aptos, Bedrock builds on this momentum with secure, yield-bearing Bitcoin assets backed by nearly $700 million in TVL and more than 5,000 BTC staked across 15+ supported chains. This integration gives Aptos users new ways to trade, lend, and earn with BTC-backed assets, while providing developers with additional building blocks to design the next generation of DeFi applications.
What’s Live Now
uniBTC and brBTC are now bridgeable between Ethereum ↔ Aptos and BNB Chain ↔ Aptos via Interport, secured by Chainlink CCIP.
Additionally, you can now trade and provide liquidity for uniBTC and brBTC on Hyperion with the following incentivized pairs:
Liquidity providers for these pools can earn rewards on Hyperion.
What’s Coming Next
Soon, uniBTC and brBTC will also be available for lending and borrowing on Aries Markets. This will allow Aptos users to:
-
Supply BTC-backed assets and earn incentives.
-
Borrow against BTC-backed assets to access more capital.
Stay tuned for the official Aries Markets launch date.
How to Get Started
Follow these steps to bring your BTC-backed assets to Aptos and start earning:
1. Visit Interport Bridge via these links:
➡️ uniBTC bridge
➡️ brBTC bridge
2. Select your origin network (Ethereum or BNB Chain) and set Aptos as the destination. You can also bridge in the opposite direction from Aptos back to Ethereum or BNB Chain.
3. Enter the amount of uniBTC or brBTC you want to bridge, and paste your Aptos wallet address in the “Recipient” field.
4. Click “Bridge” and sign the transaction. Make sure you have enough ETH, BNB, WBNB, or LINK (depending on the network) to pay the bridge fee.
5. Once confirmed, the bridged tokens will arrive in your recipient wallet on Aptos.
💡 To bridge back from Aptos, ensure you have enough APT or LINK to cover the bridge fee.
