My predict of the amount of Bitcoin liquidity that will flow into the @Starknet ecosystem if Starknet successfully scales Bitcoin. (Depends on market conditions, user behavior, and the development of DeFi protocols on Starknet that leverage Bitcoin liquidity) 👉 Let’s see what is going on: > Bitcoin’s Current Liquidity: - Bitcoin’s market capitalization is substantial—likely in the range of $1.5–$2 trillion USD, depending on its price (historically fluctuating between $70,000–$100,000+ per BTC in early 2025 projections). - However, not all of this is “liquid” in the sense of being actively used or available for DeFi. - A significant portion of Bitcoin remains static in cold storage or held as a long-term investment (“digital gold”). - Estimates suggest that only 10–20% of Bitcoin’s supply is actively circulating or available for transactions at any given time, equating to roughly $150–$400 billion in liquid value.

> Starknet’s Scaling Vision: - Starknet aims to become Bitcoin’s execution layer, potentially increasing its transaction throughput from ~7 transactions per second (TPS) to thousands, while enabling smart contract functionality via upgrades like OP_CAT. - This could unlock Bitcoin for DeFi applications (e.g., staking, lending, yield farming), which are currently limited on Bitcoin’s Layer 1 due to scalability and scripting constraints. > Starknet’s Ecosystem Goals: - Starknet has expressed an ambition to serve hundreds million Bitcoin users. - Additionally, initiatives like BTCFi Season and integrations with wallets like Xverse aim to incentivize Bitcoin holders to move assets into Starknet. > Adoption Drivers: - Factors like reduced transaction costs, faster processing, and trustless bridges (e.g., BitVM or OP_CAT-based solutions) could encourage Bitcoin holders to move funds to Starknet.
