Solv Open Floodgates to $5T in Sovereign Wealth Funds with Shariah-Compliant BTCFi

Solv Protocol, in partnership with CoreDAO and Nawa Finance, is proud to announce that SolvBTC.CORE has become the world’s first Shariah-compliant Bitcoin yield product.

For years, Bitcoin — often dubbed “digital gold” — has been an idle asset in the eyes of Islamic finance, with sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors in the Middle East constrained by strict regulatory and ethical frameworks. Traditional mandates demanded compliance with Islamic finance principles, but compliant, yield-generating Bitcoin products were nonexistent — until now.

SolvBTC.CORE changes that, enabling these institutions to access halal Bitcoin yields while meeting Shariah standards, unlocking a new era of Bitcoin finance (BTCFi) adoption.

Tapping into a $5 Trillion Opportunity

The Middle East alone holds over $5 trillion in sovereign wealth fund assets. A significant portion of these funds require strict Shariah compliance before allocating capital into new asset classes, including digital assets like Bitcoin.

SolvBTC.CORE breaks down this barrier, offering a compliant pathway for these funds to earn sustainable yields on Bitcoin.

Certified by Amanie Advisors, a globally recognized leader in Shariah advisory, and facilitated by Nawa Finance, a Shariah-compliant DeFi partner, SolvBTC.CORE adheres to the highest standards of Islamic finance, ensuring sovereign funds and institutional allocators can confidently participate in BTCFi.

How SolvBTC.CORE Works

SolvBTC.CORE combines Bitcoin’s security with Shariah-compliant yield generation:

• 1:1 Bitcoin Peg: Every SolvBTC.CORE token is fully backed by Bitcoin, preserving the underlying value of users’ assets.
• Secure Staking Yields: Bitcoin holders stake BTC through SolvBTC.CORE to help secure the Core Network, earning consistent on-chain yields without compromising liquidity or self-custody.
• Halal by Design: Yield generation mechanisms are fully aligned with Islamic finance principles — free from interest-based income and excessive risk.
• Liquidity + Yield: Investors maintain full liquidity to deploy assets across DeFi opportunities, blending yield generation with active market participation.

Why This Matters

TradFi institutions have long been searching for a compliant pathway into Bitcoin yield.

With SolvBTC.CORE, institutions can now:

• Earn sustainable, Shariah-compliant returns on Bitcoin.
• Meet internal and regional compliance mandates.
• Transform Bitcoin from a passive store of value into an active, productive asset.
• Tap into BTCFi yield opportunities while retaining asset control.

As Ryan Chow, Founder of Solv Protocol, puts it: “SolvBTC.CORE paves the way for sovereign wealth funds and traditional financial institutions to securely and confidently stake Bitcoin and earn real, on-chain yields.”

A New Standard for Institutional Bitcoin Finance

The launch of SolvBTC.CORE marks the beginning of a new chapter for Bitcoin and DeFi, blending the security of Bitcoin, the composability of DeFi, and the regulatory clarity of Islamic finance.

As the Middle East accelerates its adoption of digital assets, compliant yield offerings like SolvBTC.CORE will play a pivotal role in scaling Bitcoin’s presence in global financial systems.

With SolvBTC.CORE, Bitcoin’s idle era is over — now, it can work productively and compliantly for institutions worldwide.

The era of halal Bitcoin yield has officially begun.
