GoMining Launchpad Takes Its First Flight With Bitlayer, the leading Bitcoin DeFi Infrastructure
The post GoMining Launchpad Takes Its First Flight With Bitlayer, the leading Bitcoin DeFi Infrastructure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Prague, July 24, 2025 – Today, GoMining named Bitlayer as the inaugural project on the BTCFi-focused GoMining Launchpad, aligning the fastest-growing Bitcoin Layer-2 with GoMining’s community of more than three million miners, gamers, and token holders. The collaboration gives GoMining Launchpad participants first access to Bitlayer’s upcoming token sale while giving Bitlayer the reach of GoMining’s active user base and real-world hashrate infrastructure. Bitlayer arrived on the platform only a few days after it switched to the BitVM Bridge mainnet – a single-signer, trust-minimized bridge that converts native BTC into Peg-BTC (YBTC) for use across smart-contract networks. The bridge follows Bitlayer Network V1, live since May 2024, and precedes the V2 rollout later this quarter. With a peak of $850 million in total value locked in December 2024, Bitlayer now holds roughly $390 million, ranking among the three largest Bitcoin DeFi chains. Earlier this year, Binance Square placed the network second only to Core Chain after Bitlayer’s TVL peaked above $400 million. That growth helped Bitlayer raise $25 million across seed and Series A rounds led by Franklin Templeton, Polychain Capital, and Framework Ventures, solidifying a $300 million valuation. Momentum is also visible on the partnership front: the new bridge is already integrated, or slated for integration, with Sui, Base, and Arbitrum, widening the path for Bitcoin liquidity to move into EVM environments and beyond. A May milestone with Sui produced YBTC, a Bitcoin-backed asset that keeps a 1:1 peg while tapping Sui’s high-throughput architecture for yield-bearing DeFi. Bitlayer says additional collaborations with Starknet, Sonic, and Plume are underway to support a broader BitVM stack. The listing strengthens GoMining’s own expansion streak. In April, GoMining Institutional, the company’s professional investor-focused arm launched a $100 million institutional mining fund that compounds block rewards for accredited investors, offering exposure distinct from listed…
