The Bitcoin ecosystem has accelerated in the last 10 to 12 months, with more public awareness and discussion than in the last few years, or even the last 10 years. The BTC ecosystem TVL is now at approximately $2.5 billion, built by industry participants. The BTC ecosystem is now connected to the EVM chain ecosystem, and in 2025, there will be more internal cooperation between BTC native protocols rather than competition. This is what end-users want to see - a smooth transition from point A to point B.
