Bitcoin Ecosystem Today: Layers and BTCFi

​Bitcoin is infrastructure for a new digital frontier. As the most secure blockchain and the soundest form of money, it remains unmatched.

Its effectiveness as money has led to Bitcoin’s almost $2T market cap. It’s led to 19,000 reachable Bitcoin nodes, 600,000 transactions per day and 13M monthly active Bitcoin addresses.

We'll look at Bitcoin’s thriving ecosystem, current capabilities, and how Bitcoin layers are expanding use cases by achieving scalability while leveraging Bitcoin's security model, decentralisation, and capital.
