BounceBit has introduced a new bitcoin derivatives trading strategy using BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL).
The strategy achieved an annualized yield exceeding 24% by combining BUIDL collateral with bitcoin basis trades and BTC put options.
BUIDL tokens provided extra yield compared to stablecoins and allowed traders to earn U.S. dollar yield along with bitcoin derivatives returns.
BounceBit plans to extend the BUIDL-collateralized strategy to institutional and retail users, aiming to pioneer new CeDeFi applications in the crypto space.
