Setting the Standard for Bitcoin’s “Risk-Free Rate”

Earn yield with BTC

Risk-free rates have become a common benchmark in finance with government bonds in traditional systems and ETH staking yield on Ethereum. Now, Core is delivering Bitcoin’s native yield through its Non-Custodial Bitcoin Staking mechanism.

With Core’s Non Custodial Bitcoin Staking, Bitcoin holders can unlock sustainable yield without custodial risk, slashing risk, or taking on any new trust assumptions. The result is Bitcoin’s “Risk-Free Rate,” which is poised to set the benchmark for all of Bitcoin finance, guiding future investment and lending decisions.

With the Fusion upgrade, Core’s Dual Staking unlocks the highest  Bitcoin  yields for stakers of both Bitcoin and CORE tokens, aligning incentives across the Bitcoin and Core communities.

Yield defined by the Bitcoin Reference Rate

Bitcoin's new era: The Risk-Free Rate

Finance is predicated on asset appreciation and yield. Historically, Bitcoin has relied almost entirely on appreciation for its value. The new Bitcoin Risk-Free Rate introduces native-yield to Bitcoin, reflecting the value of Bitcoin’s security extended to other systems.

POWERED BY CORE: The Bitcoin Risk-Free Rate

Bitcoin's first true yield

Non- Custodial and Trustless

Bitcoin never leaves the Bitcoin blockchain, preserving full user control.

Relies solely on the security of Bitcoin’s code. Bitcoin never leaves Layer 1, ensuring maximum security and trust.

Additional Bitcoin Utility

Bitcoin gains a base-layer yield for the first time ever.

Dual Staking

Staking CORE alongside Bitcoin is the key unlocking the highest Bitcoin staking rates on Core.

Bitcoin's Security

Staking uses Bitcoin’s native absolute time-locks for maximal security.

Sustainable Rewards

Yield comes from activity on Core and CORE block rewards.

Bitcoin's New Era: The Risk-Free Rate

Historically, Bitcoin’s value relied on price appreciation alone. With Core’s Bitcoin staking, Bitcoin has a sustainable yield, while extending security value to Core’s DeFi ecosystem.

Watch as new products emerge, centered around this groundbreaking standard.

FAQ

01
What is the significance of yield in traditional finance?

The Federal Reserve sets the U.S. interest rate baseline, thereby defining the “risk-free” rate through government bonds. Every other investment or yield opportunity in TradFi must be evaluated relative to that risk-free benchmark.

02
Why hasn't Bitcoin finance (BTCfi) had a "risk-free" rate before?

Unlike fiat, Bitcoin can’t be printed; and unlike Ethereum, Bitcoin is not a Proof of Stake blockchain. Historically, any Bitcoin earning yield required some risk. Now, Core’s Non-Custodial Bitcoin Staking model allows Bitcoin holders to contribute to Core’s consensus mechanism without adding new trust assumptions.

03
What makes Core’s BTC Staking unique?

Core’s Bitcoin staking allows Bitcoin holders to earn yield without giving up asset custody, using absolute time-locks to ensure Bitcoin remains strictly on the Bitcoin blockchain in the staker’s possession. Rewards come from CORE block rewards and transaction fees, not lending.

04
How does Dual Staking boost Bitcoin yields?

With Dual Staking, Bitcoin holders can stake both Bitcoin and CORE to unlock higher yield rates. This structure aligns Core’s and Bitcoin’s communities, increasing potential rewards for stakers while maintaining full control over their assets.
