Liquidium is a Bitcoin-native DeFi platform that offers peer-to-peer bitcoin lending and borrowing. Its protocol lets users borrow bitcoin using Bitcoin-based assets such as Ordinals and Runes as collateral, secured via Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) and discrete logarithm contracts (DLCs) on Bitcoin layer one. The company launched a rune lending service weeks before this financing and says it continuously expands supported assets. Liquidium is compatible with wallets including Xverse, Unisat, and Leather and plans to add BRC-20 assets and integrate wallets like OKX and Phantom. Founded in 2022, Liquidium aims to be an Aave-like lending hub on native Bitcoin with mature liquidity pools for passive income and overcollateralized borrowing. Financially, Liquidium announced a $2.75M seed financing from a group of institutional and individual investors. The team intends to broaden access across the Bitcoin ecosystem and expand its reach into Eastern markets. Liquidium operates a P2P lending protocol on the Bitcoin blockchain that lets users use native Ordinals inscriptions as collateral to borrow and lend native bitcoin. The platform is designed to eliminate intermediaries and custodians by keeping collateral and lending interactions on-chain. Liquidium announced completion of a $1.25M Pre-Seed financing. Named participants in the round include Bitcoin Frontier Fund, Side Door Ventures, Actai Ventures, Sora Ventures, Spicy Capital, UTXO Management, and several angel investors.
