Someday, with my sail piercing the clouds; 

I will mount the wind, break the waves, and traverse the vast, rolling sea.

长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海。

—— LI Bai

Finally, 100K.

This is a moment we’ve always believed would come, though it feels surreal to see it arrive so soon. Over the past decade, we’ve weathered countless ups and downs in Bitcoin’s journey. 

Just two years ago, in December, Bitcoin was at 16K—a far cry from where we stand today. Yet, as the legendary Chinese poet Li Bai reminds us, with determination, we can pierce the clouds and sail the vast, rolling seas.

As we close another month, we’re excited to share the progress we’ve made at Liquidium. This month has been especially meaningful, with notable advancements in platform improvements and strategic growth initiatives.

We couldn’t have come this far without your trust and support. Together, let's continue to chart new waters and shape the future. 

Season 2 Token Claim 🍻

The Season 2 claim is now live. This milestone reflects our commitment to creating meaningful incentives for active participants on the platform.

This season, we have welcomed 1,341 participants who have collectively generated over 121 million points. To date, 77% of the tokens have already been claimed.

Please be aware that, due to regulatory restrictions, US citizens are unable to claim tokens.

Don't forget to claim your tokens here.

Campaign 🔥

We’re thrilled to share another exciting milestone for Liquidium. We’ve officially been listed in the DApp Center of OKX Wallet—a key step in expanding our ecosystem and bringing more value to our community.

To mark this occasion, we’ve joined forces with OKX Wallet to launch a limited-time campaign: a 1.5x multiplier exclusively for OKX Wallet users. 

At the same time, we’re also teaming up with the largest memecoin on Bitcoin, $DOG, to provide a 1.5x multiplier on all borrowing and lending activities on Liquidium.

Both special opportunities run until December 16th, giving you the chance to enhance your rewards and be part of this celebratory moment.

Market Overview & Dominance ✊

With this surge in BTC to 100K, the market cap of Runes has also reached an impressive 2 billion for the first time since its launch. We remain optimistic about the future of Runes and are committed to exploring this area further.

The volume on Liquidium is increasing dramatically. On December 4th, we achieved over 20 BTC in a single day, marking our highest volume since May.

Ordinals Marketplace Dominance

Liquidium has further strengthened its position in the Ordinals lending market, accounting for over 30% of total volume this month. This cements our standing as the second-largest application by volume, following Magic Eden.

Runes Marketplace Dominance

In the Runes lending market, Liquidium’s dominance increased significantly to about 15 - 20%, compared to 11.33% last month. This growth reflects the impact of ongoing platform enhancements and strategic efforts to capture a larger share of this emerging market.

Product & Feature Updates 🔧

Custom Loans Improvements

The custom loan feature, while already available, has been underutilized by many users. We’ve taken steps to streamline the process, making it more accessible and intuitive. 

This update transforms the process, introducing a “gallery-style” experience where both borrowers and lenders can initiate and craft loan offers. The result is a more dynamic, interactive, and user-friendly platform for everyone.

This feature is under careful testing and will be announced very soon.

Looking Ahead 🔭

Instant Loans Progress

Work continues on instant loans, which will enable lenders to deposit BTC upfront, eliminating the need for countersignatures. This will significantly streamline the borrowing process for users.

You can find more details here.

Cross-Chain Liquidity Pools

Our team is making progress on cross-chain liquidity pools, a critical step toward enabling seamless lending and borrowing across multiple blockchains. This feature remains a priority for our long-term roadmap.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to sharing more updates next month as we continue building the future of Bitcoin lending.

See you next month!

Sincerely,

The Liquidium Team
