  1. Introducing Bit Protocol

Market opportunity

The DeFi sector has witnessed the rise of various stablecoin models, each aiming to offer a stable unit of account. Bit Protocol's bitUSD is designed to offer a convenient option that's available on any standard blockchain network, whilst also capitalizing on emerging opportunities for yield-bearing and novel stablecoins.

Current Stablecoin Landscape and Limitations

  • Fiat-Backed Stablecoins: Dominated by tokens like USDT and USDC, these offer stability but grapple with issues of transparency and centralization.

  • Crypto-Backed Stablecoins: Models like DAI use digital assets as collateral but are susceptible to the inherent volatility of these assets.

  • Algorithmic Stablecoins: Relying on complex algorithms for price stability, these lack physical or digital asset backing and can be unpredictable and unreliable.

  • Delta-Neutral Stablecoins: Backed by perpetual future short positions, they earn yield during bullish periods, but can lose value when the funding-rate flips against them.

The Emergence of Yield-Bearing Stablecoins

  • Innovative Approach: The stablecoin industry is evolving with the advent of yield-bearing stablecoins, providing users with both stability and passive income opportunities.

  • Market Potential: This development opens up new possibilities for stablecoins to be more than just a medium of exchange or a value store, adding an investment dimension.

The Unique Market Position of BitUSD

  • Comprehensive Solution: Addressing the market's shortfall by combining pegging strategies, decentralization, and omnichain functionality with yield-bearing features.

  • Decentralization and Security: bitUSD stands out by offering a stablecoin that does not compromise on either front, setting a new benchmark in the market.

  • Omnichain Functionality: Designed for seamless cross-chain interactions, bitUSD will ultimately extend its reach and utility across multiple chains, lowering friction and barriers to adoption.
