The protocol processed 91 successful deposit and borrow actions over the two-day period, bringing total supplied liquidity to $6.20M. Outstanding borrows on the platform climbed simultaneously to a record $1.73M, underlining growing user confidence in the protocol. On-chain data also confirms the deposit of 53.1K ICP into the ecosystem since Saturday.
The weekend results reflect a broader growth story for Liquidium. The protocol has processed over 119,000 loans and more than $400 million in borrowing volume since its inception, building a track record that underpins its expansion onto the Internet Computer.

Liquidium.fi is a non-custodial cross-chain lending platform that leverages Chain Fusion technology developed by the Internet Computer to enable users to supply and borrow native assets, including Bitcoin and USDT on Ethereum, without the security risks of centralized bridges or the need to manage wrapped tokens.
The protocol operates using the Internet Computer Protocol in the backend, where smart contracts manage lending logic, collateral, and liquidation processes. It leverages ICP's direct Bitcoin integration, enabling on-chain smart contracts to control native BTC via ckBTC. When users deposit BTC or USDT, the platform converts them into ckBTC or ckUSDT on ICP.
All loans are over-collateralized to manage risk, meaning borrowers deposit more value than they borrow. The platform uses Pyth's price oracle for asset pricing, aggregating data from major exchanges to support real-time collateral valuation and automated liquidations when thresholds are breached, alongside a dynamic interest rate model that automatically adjusts based on supply and demand.
The weekend performance adds further weight to the case that ICP is becoming a meaningful home for cross-chain DeFi activity, with Liquidium emerging as one of the ecosystem's most active protocols.
