xstrkBTC is productive across the existing money-market and DEX rails on
@Starknet from day one. You just need to decide which is the most optiminal path for you to take.
1. Supply on
@vesuxyz @Re7Labs USDC Core vault.
Total supplied: $226.54k
Supply APR: 2.39%
Utilization: 72.8%
Two yield sources stack on a single position. The xstrkBTC exchange rate keeps appreciating against strkBTC underneath as Starknet staking rewards accrue. On top of that, the supply APR is paid in USDC interest by borrowers. Single-sided, no impermanent exposure. The 72.8% utilization signals real borrow demand, which keeps the supply leg earning instead of sitting idle.
2. Borrow USDC against xstrkBTC, same vault.
Borrow APR: 2.06%
Max LTV: 76.44%
Liquidation LTV: 78%
Liquidation bonus: 10%
The headline borrow rate is partially offset by STRK incentives, which is what the boost indicator reflects. The borrower keeps strkBTC exposure on the collateral leg while extracting working capital on the debt leg.
The 1.56-point gap between max and liquidation LTV is the real position-management surface. A conservative loop or a treasury that wants to keep some buffer should sit well below max LTV. Borrowed USDC redeploys into stablecoin yield. Where STRK incentives offset the 2.06% rate, the effective borrow cost moves toward zero and the carry against any 4-6% stablecoin venue is structural.
3. LP xstrkBTC and strkBTC on
@EkuboProtocol concentrated pool.
Current price: 0.998255 strkBTC per xstrkBTC
Tight band example: -0.15% to 0.17%
This pair is the entry and exit market between the LST and its underlying. Every stake routed through Ekubo and every unstake matched against deposit flow crosses the band. LPs earn AMM fees on that throughput. The xstrkBTC side of the position continues to accrue exchange-rate yield while it sits in the pool.
Concentration within 0.5% of true price qualifies for Season 2 contributor multipliers, which sits in the 70% bucket of point emissions. The position is doing four things at once: providing exit liquidity for unstakers, providing entry liquidity for stakers, earning fees, and compounding base yield on the LST leg.
The structural point.
Each route uses xstrkBTC differently. Supply earns interest. Borrow extracts liquidity without selling spot. LP earns flow.
Private bitcoin earns from three independent surfaces. You need to pick what suits you best and dive in, privately.
