Cardano Prepares Pogun to Unlock $1.6T Bitcoin Liquidity in DeFi

  • 83–95% of the $1.6 trillion in bitcoin liquidity sits idle in DeFi networks
  • Less than 1% of BTC participates in DeFi versus 10–15% for Ethereum
  • Pogun attracted $600 million in funding commitments
  • The platform launch is expected in Q4 or early 2027
Why it matters: The launch could open new demand for ADA and bring the largest pool of capital into DeFi, but timing depends on the Leios upgrade.
