Lombard Finance Debuts Toolkit to Harness Bitcoin’s $154 Billion DeFi Market Potential

Lombard Finance Launches SDK to Make Bitcoin Staking Effortless, Unlocking DeFi Potential

Lombard Finance has introduced a new software development kit (SDK) designed to simplify Bitcoin (BTC) staking for platforms, exchanges, and wallets, offering a seamless way to integrate Bitcoin into decentralized finance (DeFi). The toolkit is aimed at tapping into the $154 billion in Bitcoin currently held on centralized exchanges, positioning Lombard at the forefront of the DeFi movement.

With the new SDK, users can stake Bitcoin to mint LBTC, a liquid staking token, which is then automatically placed into Lombard’s DeFi Vault. This process offers an attractive 3% annual yield, allowing Bitcoin holders to earn while maintaining liquidity in the DeFi ecosystem.

“Bitcoin’s transformation from a store of value to an active DeFi participant is a game-changer, and our SDK makes it accessible for platforms and users to capitalize on this shift,” said Jacob Phillips, co-founder of Lombard Finance. “This toolkit eliminates the complexity traditionally associated with staking, offering a straightforward path into DeFi.”

Major exchanges such as Binance and Bybit have already integrated the SDK, with more wallet providers—including xVerse, Metamask, and Trust Wallet—set to follow. These integrations give platforms new ways to engage their user base while tapping into the growing DeFi market.

Since its Bitcoin staking initiative began seven months ago, Lombard Finance has quickly grown its footprint, with the DeFi Vault now holding over $200 million in total value locked (TVL). The protocol recently expanded with the launch of LBTC on the Sui blockchain, further extending Bitcoin’s DeFi presence.
