BounceBit is a CeDeFi BTC restaking and yield platform on its own EVM PoS Layer 1, turning regulated-custody assets into on-chain BB-Tokens that earn delta-neutral basis, RWA, and validator yield.
Assets sit with a regulated custodian off-chain, get mirrored to an exchange for a delta-neutral basis trade, and are represented on-chain by a yield-bearing BB-Token.
You deposit BTC or USD. Instead of an on-chain smart-contract vault, the funds are routed to a regulated custodian — keeping the underlying assets out of the trading venue itself.
Illustrative model. APYs, funding rates, and clearing times are simplified to show how regulated custody, the CEX basis trade, and the on-chain BB-Token fit together — not live protocol figures.

Idle BTC and other large-cap crypto earn nothing on-chain, while institutional-grade yield (basis trading, tokenized treasuries) sits behind CeFi access barriers and unregulated custody.
BounceBit routes deposits through regulated custodians, mirrors them to trading venues for delta-neutral and RWA yield, and issues on-chain BB-Tokens so users keep a composable claim that earns stacked yield plus validator rewards.
A pioneer of the BTC CeDeFi restaking model with its own dual-token PoS L1, regulated custody (CEFFU / Standard Chartered), and a top-3 basis-trading revenue position funding a multi-year BB buyback.
