The new solution is called Liquidium Cross-Chain Loans and was announced at the Bitcoin 2025 conference.
Robin Obermaier, CEO of Liquidium, emphasized the product’s focus on security and user control. He stated that Liquidium removes the need for users to worry about what chain they’re operating on.
He added:
“Bitcoin was built for self‑sovereignty, not surrendering keys to centralized bridges…We’ve abstracted the plumbing so there’s just the blockchain. Deposit native BTC, receive USDT on Ethereum, USDC on Solana, or any asset you need, quickly and securely.”
The platform’s beta launch is expected in Q3 2025, with a broader public rollout to follow. Intending users can join the waitlist at Liquidium.fi.
However, unlike Aave, which operates primarily on Ethereum, Liquidium facilitates native-to-native transactions across multiple chains without wrapping tokens or using custodial bridges.
Meanwhile, Liquidium is betting on the cross-chain functionality to drive exponential growth for its platform. The platform noted that it aims to unlock the value of over $4.3 billion in wrapped BTC currently idle in Ethereum-based DeFi platforms.
“This is the cross-chain lending protocol built for Bitcoin It’s about to change how DeFi works everywhere.”
