Can Bitcoin truly thrive in DeFi — without giving up its core values of security and decentralization?

In this deep-dive interview, MacLane Wilkison, CEO of tLabs and co-founder of Threshold Network, joins Bitcoin.com to unpack how tBTC, the first fully permissionless Bitcoin bridge, is unlocking powerful new opportunities for BTC holders.

Unlike centralized solutions such as wBTC, tBTC uses a decentralized network of signers to hold Bitcoin securely while enabling users to earn yield, trade, and participate across DeFi ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, and emerging Bitcoin Layer-2 networks.

Wilkison reveals how Threshold’s renewed focus on tBTC — and the end of T token inflation — has made the network profitable through bridge fee revenues, aligning token value directly with adoption.

From BitVM2’s potential to enhance Bitcoin bridges to Threshold’s mission of keeping Bitcoin open, sovereign, and productive, this conversation explores the cutting edge of where Bitcoin meets DeFi.

🚀 In this episode:

  • The real path to bringing Bitcoin into DeFi securely

  • How tBTC challenges custodial models like wBTC

  • Why Threshold Network is betting on cross-chain liquidity

  • The rise of Bitcoin Layer-2 ecosystems

  • What’s next for BTC yield, interoperability, and decentralization
