December 15, 2025 Lorenzo Protocol is heading into year-end still pulling Bitcoin in while most of the market stays cautious. The BANK token has taken the same hits everything else has, trading mostly between $0.04 and $0.06, but on-chain activity hasn’t really slowed. TVL remains north of a billion dollars, driven mainly by Babylon staking, and the protocol keeps spreading BTC liquidity across more chains.

Market cap floats around $20 to $30 million depending on the hour. Volume is still there, even in this dip. Nothing explosive, but not dead either.

The core mechanic hasn’t changed, and that’s probably why it’s working.

Bitcoin comes in, gets staked through Babylon, and stBTC comes back out. It stays liquid. You can move it, lend it, farm with it. EnzoBTC handles the wrapped side for cross-chain use and extra incentives. No need to lock BTC away forever or give up control just to earn.

Recent staking rounds added more BTC into Babylon. Last numbers showed total deposits clearing 2,100 BTC, with active delegations pushing past 1,500 BTC at times. That’s not noise. That’s people committing size.

Cross-chain has been the main push lately. Wormhole integration opened the door for enzoBTC and stBTC to land on Sui, and liquidity showed up fast. Thousands of tokens bridged over. Millions of dollars seeded into pools. For Sui, it was one of the first real BTCFi use cases to gain traction.

Partnerships with NAVI and Cetus helped kick that off, along with campaigns that brought in tens of thousands of new holders. It wasn’t just a bridge demo. People actually stayed.

The pitch from the team stays simple. Bitcoin has been sitting idle for too long. Lorenzo turns it into working capital without forcing holders into risky bridges or complex setups. Slashing risk stays low. Pools are open to smaller balances, not just whales.

On the TradFi side, the connection with World Liberty Financial keeps getting tighter. Lorenzo is now the main manager for parts of the USD1 ecosystem. Recent Binance moves helped that along. New trading pairs. Zero-fee promotions. Automatic BUSD conversions into USD1. Liquidity picked up quickly.

That feeds straight into Lorenzo’s OTF products. The sUSD1+ OTF mixes different strategies into a single token. Real-world asset yield. Quant strategies. Straight DeFi farming. The idea is stable returns without riding pure crypto volatility.

That’s the institutional angle Lorenzo keeps leaning into. Overcollateralized structures. Transparent positions. Assets people outside crypto already understand.

BANK sits in the background tying it all together. Total supply caps at 2.1 billion tokens. Circulating supply sits somewhere between 425 and 530 million depending on the tracker. BANK holders vote on strategy changes, new pools, and fee splits. Locking into veBANK boosts voting power, increases revenue share, and lowers access costs.

Price has been rough, no way around it. Altcoins bled hard this quarter. Still, staking incentives and buyback mechanics give BANK some support. Listings on major exchanges keep liquidity alive. Holder count looks stable, and community activity hasn’t dropped off much.

Looking ahead, the roadmap doesn’t change much. More chains. Deeper Babylon phases. More yield paths unlocking as the system matures. There’s also talk of enterprise-facing tools once regulatory conditions get clearer.

Competition is heavy. Bitcoin restaking, RWA protocols, yield platforms. Everyone wants the same capital. Lorenzo’s advantage is focus. It stays close to Bitcoin’s security model, keeps liquidity simple, and benefits from its link to the WLFI ecosystem.

Risks are still there. Babylon is still rolling out. Yield compresses when markets go quiet. Macro fear isn’t gone.

But the demand is obvious. Bitcoin holders want yield without selling. Institutions want exposure to tokenized assets without full crypto risk. Lorenzo sits right where those interests meet.

It’s not a loud protocol. It doesn’t need to be. It’s plumbing. Stake BTC. Keep it liquid. Move it where the yield is.

If BTCFi and RWAs heat up next year the way people expect, the projects that nailed the basics early usually benefit first. BANK captures governance and fee value if that happens. That’s the bet people seem willing to wait on.
