Bitlight Labs ($LIGHT) enters Bitget: is BitcoinFi the next big crypto wave?

Crypto narratives never stop evolving. I still remember the hype cycles — DeFi Summer, the explosion of NFTs, the excitement around GameFi, and now the focus on Bitcoin ETFs. Each trend brought both opportunity and noise. But the one I’ve been watching quietly is BitcoinFi, the attempt to make Bitcoin programmable without breaking its core security model.

This week, Bitlight Labs ($LIGHT) got listed on Bitget, and it might be one of the more serious projects in the BitcoinFi narrative. Why? Because it isn’t just promising vague “layer 2” magic. Instead, the team is building on two concrete pillars:

RGB Protocol → scalable, private smart contracts using client-side validation.

Lightning Network → Bitcoin’s layer 2 for fast, low-cost payments.

By combining both, the idea is to enable stablecoin transactions and DeFi-like features directly on Bitcoin, with the same user experience as sending BTC. No risky bridges, no sidechains — just Bitcoin itself.

Here are some fundamentals that make it stand out:

• Current valuation: $170M, relatively low for an infrastructure play.

• Token supply: 420M LIGHT.

• Product: Bitlight Wallet is already live, supporting BTC and RGB20 tokens.

The listing on Bitget (LIGHT/USDT pair) creates more liquidity and visibility for this project. Personally, I find it undervalued compared to the ambition it represents. But like every narrative in crypto, it will depend on community adoption and whether people see real use cases beyond speculation.

👉 Question to you: Do you believe BitcoinFi can grow to the scale Ethereum DeFi has achieved, or will it remain an experimental niche for Bitcoin enthusiasts only?
