The Problem

Stablecoin holders on BNB Chain lack access to institutional-grade, delta-neutral basis-trading yield without surrendering custody to a single CEX or accepting opaque CeFi pool terms.

The Solution

Bitway Earn mints receipt tokens (bwUSDT, BTWUSDT) against deposited stables and routes the underlying to whitelisted Binance institutional custody, where Bitway runs delta-neutral basis-trading strategies; yield accrues to the receipt token's exchange rate. Two exit paths (normal queue or flash unstake) sit fully on-chain.

Why it Matters

BNB-Chain-native CeDeFi basis-trading vault with an explicit DeTradFi positioning, run by an ex-Binance team incubated by YZi Labs and launched via Binance Booster. Tiered strategy lineup (Absolute Return + Core Alpha) and a 10B-supply BTW token (BEP-20 + ERC-20 mirror) layered on top.
