Solv x Ozean: Institutionalized RWA Yields for Bitcoin

4 min readApr 24, 2025

How xSolvBTC is turning the world’s hardest asset into productive collateral for the next wave of RWA finance.

1 | Why Real-World Asset (RWA) <> BTC Matters

For the first time ever, Bitcoin — via xSolvBTC — can access yield directly from real-world, traditional assets that are safe, stable, and institutionally verified.

Over the last bull cycle, DeFi proved it could replicate the plumbing of traditional markets — AMMs, lending pools, liquid staking. What it hasn’t done (until now) is connect those rails to the $300T universe of real-world yield: treasury bills, private credit, trade finance, blue-chip invoices.

Tokenizing those cash-flowing assets — and allowing on-chain capital to fund them — unlocks two seismic benefits:

  • Yield Resilience: DeFi returns decouple from short-lived incentives and starts tracking stable, off-chain cash flows.
  • Capital Efficiency: Idle crypto collateral begins financing tangible economic activity — driving sustainable value back on-chain.

With impact, Solv together with Ozean aims to accelerate the RWA × BTC narrative. And with over $1T in idle Bitcoin capital ready to move, becoming the first largest pool of under-utilised asset in Crypto that marks a tipping point for RWAs to scale from narrative to scale at an institutionalized level.

2 | Meet Ozean — An RWA Chain Built for Yield at Scale

Ozean is a purpose-built L2, end-to-end infrastructure for tokenised real-world markets:

In short: a chain where a full stack of components including assets, custody, compliance, has been built for RWAs from day one.

3 | Enter xSolvBTC: Turning Dormant Bitcoin into Real-World Collateral

xSolvBTC is Solv’s liquid representation of BTC staked. It carries three core features:

  1. Native BTC Exposure — retain the upside of Bitcoin itself.
  2. On-Chain Liquidity — freely transferable across networks.
  3. Composability — eligible collateral for any protocol that whitelists it.

By listing xSolvBTC in Ozean’s Pre-Deposit Campaign (Liquidity Generation Event), we give BTC holders a straight path into RWA yield:

Bridging to Ozean mainnet is optional but it will boost APR because droplet rewards scale with on-chain participation.

4 | How Solv and Ozean brings RWA-Backed Yields to BTC

For the first time, BTC holders can earn real-world, real-yield — without leaving the chain.

As part of our partnership with Ozean, Solv has integrated xSolvBTC into Ozean’s Liquidity Generation Event (LGE), enabling Bitcoin holders to deploy their capital directly into the Real-World Asset (RWA) economy in a pre-deposit campaign.

By depositing xSolvBTC, users gain exposure to:

  • Ozean Droplets (convertible into $CPOOL)
  • 3× Solv Points
  • Underlying xSolvBTC staking rewards, stacking incentives from multiple layers within the ecosystem.

Pre-deposit campaign

Projected blended APR, assuming current deposit forecasts, lands in the 5–10 % BTC-denominated band — before any ozUSD yield or future lending markets come online.

But the partnership goes beyond just campaign mechanics. Once Ozean’s mainnet is live, xSolvBTC will be eligible as collateral in Port Vaults — on-chain, ETF-style structures backed by tokenized treasuries and private credit. Future lending markets on Ozean’s L2 will also support xSolvBTC, allowing users to unlock stablecoin liquidity (e.g., ozUSD) and cycle it back into yield-bearing RWA strategies.

Together, Solv and Ozean are bridging the world’s largest digital asset — Bitcoin — into institutionally managed, regulated yield products.

5 | The Road Ahead: Lending Markets & Port Vault ETFs

When Ozean L2 goes live:

  • xSolvBTC Collateral Markets — Lend ozUSD or T-Bill–backed tokens against BTC; finance real invoices, trade receivables, private credit pools.
  • Port Vault Inclusion — Hex Trust’s asset-management arm can launch a BTC/RWA vault
  • Diversified Fund — Backed 1:1 by xSolvBTC plus short-duration treasuries.
  • Cross-Chain Liquidity Routing — Solv’s reserve layer directs idle BTC into the highest risk-adjusted RWA vaults — auto-balancing between DeFi, CeFi, and TradFi rails.

The vision is simple: Bitcoin becomes the pristine base-layer collateral that powers an open, yield-rich, real-world financial stack.

6 | Conclusion

By depositing xSolvBTC into Ozean’s Pre-Deposit vaults, you:

  • Put dormant BTC to work in revenue-generating RWAs.
  • Earn multi-layer token rewards while markets price the next phase of RWA growth.
  • Deepen use cases for on-chain structured products, lending desks, and treasury products that will compose how Bitcoin will be accessed.

Solv and Ozean are proving that the future of finance isn’t just TradFi versus DeFi, it’s a BTC-powered capital flowing freely into the real economy.

Welcome to the RWA era, accelerated by Bitcoin.
