Only 0.52% of Bitcoin is used in onchain yield strategies, with lending dominating but yields remain low.

A report by Yield Basis and Valueverse reveals that just 104,105 BTC, or 0.52% of circulating Bitcoin, is actively deployed in onchain yield-generating strategies, mostly dominated by lending (81%). Despite Bitcoin's large market size and tokenization, over 99% of BTC remains idle outside DeFi. Low lending yields around 0.01% and risks like impermanent loss limit broader adoption. The market could grow to 270,000 BTC by 2030 if long-term holders start deploying more coins. The key challenge is convincing holders that onchain yield is worth the risk to unlock Bitcoin's next growth phase.

The story about Bitcoin's onchain activity notes that only 0.52% of circulating Bitcoin is actively deployed in yield-generating strategies. For readers following the broader crypto market, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Sep 30, 2026 23:03 WIB: among 50 major cryptocurrencies, 25 rose and 24 fell.
