Bybit Web3 and Ignition Join Forces to Bridge the Gap Between Bitcoin and Ethereum

DUBAI, UAE, July 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest web3 platform by trading volume, breaks down barriers between Bitcoin and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystems with its partnership of Ignition. Supported by core contributors Mantle and Antalpha Prime, Ignition is paving the way for a low-friction and interoperable future. It extends Bitcoin's functionality beyond its traditional role as a store of value and transforms it into a reliable asset for cross-chain integrations and diverse yield opportunities.

Bybit Web3 Wallet will support FBTC, an omnichain Bitcoin asset pegged 1:1 to BTC, introduced by Ignition. This strategic collaboration empowers users to unlock the full potential of Bitcoin within the thriving EVM ecosystem, reflecting Bybit Web3's philosophy of openness, simplicity, and equality.

"We are thrilled to partner with Ignition, which aligns with Bybit's mission to provide users with innovative and seamless DeFi solutions. By integrating Ignition and FBTC, we are not only enhancing liquidity and interoperability but also paving the way for a more inclusive and dynamic crypto ecosystem," added MK Chin, Bybit Web3 Evangelist.

FBTC: Bridging the Divide between Bitcoin and non-Bitcoin Ecosystems in Web3

Introduced by Ignition, FBTC is an omnichain Bitcoin asset pegged 1:1 to BTC aimed at elevating Bitcoin's accessibility and utility. As a secure, decentralized, and composable liquid Bitcoin asset with deep liquidity, $FBTC can be used at scale and easily integrated into various yield enhancement strategies like liquidity pooling, collateral, and staking.

Under Ignition, $FBTC's growth will be driven by a comprehensive roadmap and strong developer support, ensuring its long-term success and sustainable growth.

Bybit Web3: A Partnership for Enhanced DeFi and User Opportunities

Bybit is at the forefront of adopting the Ignition ecosystem, reinforcing Bybit's commitment to pioneering innovative solutions for the crypto community. Bybit Web3 users will now have access to a multitude of products and opportunities within the burgeoning Ignition space. 

This integration unlocks a range of benefits for users:

• Enhanced Liquidity: FBTC opens the door to increased liquidity, allowing users to trade and invest in Bitcoin with greater ease within the EVM ecosystem.
• Diverse Yield Opportunities: Users can explore a variety of attractive yield-generating strategies with FBTC, maximizing the earning potential of their Bitcoin holdings.
• Seamless Interoperability: FBTC bridges the gap between various blockchain networks, ensuring users can move their assets freely and efficiently.
