Pre-seed round led by Coinbase Ventures and Draper Associates signals growing institutional interest in Bitcoin-native finance.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO, April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sats Terminal<\/u><\/a>, the Bitcoin decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregation protocol, has raised $1.7 million in pre-seed funding to expand its platform. Providing decentralized exchange (DEX), bridge and yield aggregation in the Bitcoin ecosystem, Sats Terminal will leverage this raise to develop infrastructure further aimed at solving one of Bitcoin DeFi\u2019s biggest problems: fragmentation.<\/p>\n

The round was led by Coinbase Ventures and Draper Associates, with additional participation from Draper Dragon, BitcoinFi Accelerator, UTXO Management, Core Chain Ventures, Sats Ventures, Delta Blockchain Fund, Tenzor Capital and 3Commas Capital. A group of high-profile angel investors also joined the round, including Paul Taylor, Franklin Bi, DOMO, Stijn Paumen and others who support the Sats Terminal\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n

Tim Draper, Bitcoin veteran and General Partner at Draper Associates, shared the following:<\/p>\n

“Bitcoin’s sprawling ecosystem needs a solution that solves fragmentation, and the team at Sats Terminal is delivering exactly that \u2014 aggregating liquidity and creating a seamless experience that unleashes the network’s true power!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Building Simplicity in a Fragmented Bitcoin DeFi Landscape<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded by Stanislav Havryliuk<\/u><\/a> and Rishabh Java<\/u><\/a>, Sats Terminal was born from a clear need to make Bitcoin-native DeFi products more straightforward and connected. The current BitcoinFi landscape is rich in opportunity \u2014 from lending and staking to bridging and token swaps \u2014 but it remains fragmented, technically complex and challenging for everyday users.<\/p>\n

“Bitcoin blocks are empty because Bitcoin isn\u2019t accessible enough. Sats Terminal is changing this \u2014 making it simple to trade Runes, buy Bitcoin, borrow against it and more, directly on mainnet,\u201d <\/em>said Rishabh Java, Co-Founder & CTO. \u201cWe\u2019re here to keep Bitcoin decentralized, secure and miner-profitable \u2014 strengthening the world\u2019s most powerful blockchain.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Bitcoin used to be digital gold \u2014 something to hodl in cold storage. But that\u2019s changing fast,”<\/em> said Stanislav Havryliuk, Co-Founder & CEO of Sats Terminal. “Now, you can put your BTC to work in DeFi: earn through lending, staking, swaps, bridging and providing liquidity. Sats Terminal brings these opportunities together into one simple platform, making it easy for anyone to enter the world of Bitcoin DeFi.”<\/em><\/p>\n

At its core, Sats Terminal aggregates key Bitcoin DeFi protocols, allowing users to access the best staking yields, the most competitive token swap rates and seamless bridging options \u2014 all from a single interface. This integration improves the user experience and benefits partner protocols by driving more users and increasing liquidity volumes.<\/p>\n

Sats Terminal is actively expanding in the Bitcoin ecosystem. It has already integrated widgets with top Runes projects like $DOG and $BILLY and is live on Liquidium, Xverse, Runes.com and many other partner websites and apps.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next for Sats Terminal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the newly secured funding, Sats Terminal plans to expand its ecosystem with more partner integrations, enhanced order-splitting algorithms and auto-compounding yields as the protocol matures. With this funding, Sats Terminal will be able to develop a suite of products that leverages its robust routing and trading infrastructure, delivering users the best possible rates across its product suite.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s vision is to become the primary interface for interacting with Bitcoin\u2019s DeFi economy \u2014 offering users a unified, efficient and rewarding experience for every BTC transaction.<\/p>\n

This funding marks a significant step forward for the company and the broader Bitcoin DeFi movement, which is gaining momentum as users look beyond Ethereum for decentralized financial tools.<\/p>\n
