Justin Sun proposes a Bitcoin-based layer 2 solution to merge TRON and BTC, enhancing interoperability between networks. Bitcoin’s TVL surpasses $1 billion due to the Merlins Seal event, showcasing the growth of DeFi within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Justin Sun, the creator of Tron, has unveiled his plans for a novel layer 2 solution based on Bitcoin, adding another fascinating layer to the cryptocurrency narrative.
Tron’s Vision for Bitcoin Integration
On February 15, Justin Sun shared his vision on X (formerly known as Twitter) for tightly integrating the TRON network with Bitcoin, aiming for unprecedented interoperability. Sun envisions a network where various tokens, especially stablecoins amounting to $55 billion in Tron, seamlessly coexist with Bitcoin.
Sun expressed his commitment to creatively merging Tron tokens and stablecoins within the extensive Bitcoin network and its layer 2 developments, such as Bitcoin Ordinals.
Three-Stage Journey
1. Cross-Technology Bridge: TRON plans to establish a cross-technology bridge directly linking TRON tokens with Bitcoin. Simultaneously, Tron DAO will explore layer 2 solutions like Ordinals, providing user-friendly wallets and tools for BRC-20 tokens.
2. Collaboration with Bitcoin Layer 2 Protocols: TRON aims to collaborate with various Bitcoin layer 2 protocols, enabling TRON users to engage in staking through these BTC-based networks.
3. Launch of Bitcoin-Compatible Layer 2 Solution: In partnership with BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) and Bitcoin, TRON will introduce a layer 2 solution. This solution promises to be Bitcoin-compatible, combining the efficiency of a POS blockchain with the security of POW networks.
Bitcoin’s TVL Surpasses $1 Billion Milestone
Bitcoin has achieved a significant milestone as its Total Value Locked (TVL) crosses the $1 billion mark, garnering attention across the crypto sphere.
According to DeFiLlama, Bitcoin’s TVL surged by nearly 300% in just one week, soaring to $1.232 billion. This remarkable feat not only highlights Bitcoin’s impressive growth but also positions it among the top 6 networks by TVL, surpassing giants like Cardano and Avalanche.

This surge can be attributed largely to Merlin Chain’s Merlins Seal event, a Bitcoin-native layer 2 development. The launch of the MERL token incentivized users to stake assets, resulting in more than $800 million wagered since February 9.
This moment is pivotal, showcasing the increasing DeFi activities within the Bitcoin ecosystem and cementing its significant role in the crypto landscape.
The Dawn of a New Era in Crypto?
With initiatives like Justin Sun’s vision for Bitcoin integration and Bitcoin’s rise in the DeFi arena, are we witnessing the beginning of a new era of interoperability and growth in the crypto world? While the answer remains to be seen, the unfolding narrative promises to be captivating.
