According to Julian Kwan, only a small fraction of Bitcoin is earning yield, with about 7 billion deployed across on-chain BTC DeFi and roughly 3.8 billion in the Aave WBTC pool compared with a Bitcoin market of over 2 trillion, indicating the bottleneck is structural rather than demand (source: Julian Kwan on X). According to Kwan, IXS brings RWA backed yield to Bitcoin and Aave’s WBTC pool represents a major existing route for BTC yield, underscoring a large, underutilized base that could shift as structural access improves (source: Julian Kwan on X).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the wallet 0x3c9…8f757 accumulated 4,000 ETH in the past 24 hours and withdrew from Kraken at an average entry of $2,994.26 for a total around $11.977M, with the last withdrawal about two hours ago and a current unrealized loss near $141K, based on Arkham address data cited by @ai_9684xtpa (source: @ai_9684xtpa; Arkham address explorer).
