Bitget has enhanced its Bitcoin-backed token BGBTC by introducing daily rewards paid in Bitcoin. This update lets holders earn yield without selling their Bitcoin exposure, maintaining a 1:1 peg to BTC. The token can be used within Bitget’s ecosystem for futures margin, lending collateral, and access to Launchpool and PoolX products.
The upgrade also brings faster redemptions that support large volumes, backed by new institutional-grade risk controls and greater transparency. However, the exact reward rates and redemption limits remain undisclosed. Users should be aware that rewards depend on the underlying yield strategies’ sustainability, and holding BGBTC carries distinct platform, custody, smart contract, and liquidity risks compared to holding Bitcoin outright.
Bitget chose Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as the main infrastructure enabling BGBTC transfers across multiple blockchains. This integration opens doors for token holders to engage with decentralized finance services beyond Bitget’s centralized platform while keeping BTC-backed exposure intact.
