  Liquidium Introduces Native Liquid Staking for Bitcoin Runes

<p>Liquidium has launched a native liquid staking framework for Bitcoin Runes protocol tokens, allowing users to stake LIQ on Bitcoin’s Layer 1 and receive tradable sLIQ liquid staking tokens.</p>
<p>This development marks a significant advance in Bitcoin-native DeFi, expanding liquidity options and eliminating custody risks associated with wrapped assets.</p>
<h2 id="main-content">Main Content</h2>
<p>Liquidium has launched the <strong>first native liquid staking framework</strong> for Bitcoin Runes tokens. This framework allows users to directly stake LIQ tokens on Bitcoin’s Layer 1, turning those into <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Liquidium%20launches%20native%20liquid%20staking%20framework%20for%20Bitcoin%20Runes%20protocol%20tokens&amp;via=cryptoslate&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcryptoslate.com%2Fliquidium-launches-native-liquid-staking-framework-for-bitcoin-runes-protocol-tokens" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">sLIQ</a>, which are both tradable and reward-bearing assets.</p>
<p>The introduction of this framework directly impacts the Bitcoin Layer 1 ecosystem by expanding DeFi opportunities. It promotes security by keeping all staked assets directly on Bitcoin’s native layer, avoiding custodian risks linked with wrapping.</p>
<p><strong>CEO Robin Obermaier</strong> stated the <strong>framework connects directly</strong> to existing lending products, enhancing Bitcoin-native DeFi. Liquidium leads the shift with this pioneering protocol, emphasizing security and <a href="https://help.liquidium.fi/en/articles/11812364-sliquidium-token-sliq-liquid-staking-framework-for-bitcoin-native-defi" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">native staking</a> without wrapping or bridging.</p>
<p>Financially, the framework algorithmically directs 30% of daily revenue to LIQ token buybacks, benefiting stakers. Unlike traditional models, rewards derive from <strong>real protocol income</strong>, distinguishing it from inflationary models in standard DeFi protocols.</p>
<blockquote>
 "Liquidium’s launch of sLIQ for Bitcoin Runes tokens represents the first fully native, liquid staking solution for BTC assets, directly supporting Bitcoin’s Layer 1." - Robin Obermaier, <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/liquidium-launches-native-liquid-staking-framework-for-bitcoin-runes-protocol-tokens/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Crypto Slate</a>
</blockquote>
<p>Since the launch, over <strong>102,000 loans</strong> have been processed on Liquidium’s platforms, with $450 million in borrowing volume. All operations are secured via decentralized wallets, ensuring comprehensive security for users and maintaining self-custody of assets.</p>
<p>Liquidium’s initiative marks a financial trend toward native Bitcoin solutions. <a href="https://twitter.com/pelimatos" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Historically, similar liquid staking models on Ethereum required asset wrapping</a>. This launch underscores a potential shift in Bitcoin DeFi practices, possibly influencing future cross-chain developments.</p>
