Bybit Integrates Avalon's BTC Lending
Bybit Integrates Avalon's BTC Lending Protocol: A CeFi-DeFi Bridge
Bybit, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has integrated Avalon Labs' Bitcoin lending protocol into its Bybit Earn platform. This strategic partnership offers users a novel way to earn passive income through high-yield Bitcoin lending, combining the best of centralized (CeFi) and decentralized (DeFi) finance.
Avalon's Fixed-Rate Lending Model
Unlike traditional crypto lending platforms with variable interest rates, Avalon introduces a fixed borrowing rate for Bitcoin, starting at 8%. This provides predictability and stability for both borrowers and lenders.
Bridging CeFi and DeFi
This integration aims to combine the security and reliability of CeFi with the flexibility and high-yield potential of DeFi. Bybit users can now leverage Avalon's CeFi-to-DeFi bridge to lend Bitcoin at a fixed rate using FBTC tokens. Avalon's platform manages these loans to maximize returns while prioritizing security.

This approach contrasts with existing solutions. Platforms like BlockFi and Nexo offer fixed or semi-fixed rates but lack on-chain transparency and DeFi integration. DeFi platforms like Aave and Compound offer variable rates, while others like Notional and Yield Protocol offer fixed rates but can be complex for average users.
Benefits for Bybit Users
- Increased yield opportunities: Earn a fixed 8% yield on Bitcoin.
- Enhanced security: Benefit from Avalon's institutional-grade lending system.
- Simplified access: High-yield strategies without the complexity of DeFi protocols.
The Role of FBTC Tokens
FBTC tokens represent Bitcoin's value within Avalon's DeFi ecosystem, enabling higher returns. Bybit simplifies access to DeFi yield generation for users.
The Future of Finance?
Bybit's integration raises questions about the future of finance. This model may set a precedent for other exchanges, offering a user-friendly bridge between CeFi and DeFi.
