Bitcoin bridges are changing.
The old question was: “How do we move BTC into DeFi?”
The new question is: “How do we do it with fewer trust assumptions?”

All the Bitcoin in existence, drawn to scale against the rest of the world's assets. Shorter than a basketball hoop. Still early.

Crypto collateralised lending hit $73.6B in outstanding loans in Q3 2025, and $69.55B in Q4.
A new Bitcoin credit market is forming.

BTCFi will not be won by the easiest bridge alone.
It will be won by infrastructure people can trust because they can verify it.
Union Bridge is an early step in that direction.
Test it. Break it. Share feedback.
