Bitcoin has been passively entering the Ethereum ecosystem, not by active choice, but as a result of a lack of alternatives forcing the issue.
Looking at the data makes it clear—over $11 billion worth of BTC is now locked in Ethereum DeFi. It sounds like a significant scale, but the returns are slim, and users have to bear high gas fees and trust intermediary-issued IOU tokens. This situation actually reflects a real problem: the inefficiency of cross-chain assets in inter-chain ecosystems.
The market is self-correcting this imbalance. More and more solutions are dedicated to bringing Bitcoin assets back to their native networks, maintaining liquidity while reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and decreasing reliance on third-party custody. This trend will gradually improve the current cross-chain asset allocation landscape.
