APOLLO is Live: The First Bitcoin On-Chain Exchange on Solana with zBTC
Bitcoin drives the global crypto market, holding trillions in value — yet its liquidity remains underutilized. Held in wallets, locked in custodial systems, and restricted by rigid financial models, BTC has yet to fully participate in the on-chain economy.
That changes today.
APOLLO redefines Bitcoin’s role, unlocking its liquidity on Solana.
No more passive BTC. No more reliance on centralized solutions. For the first time, BTC can be exchanged and utilized natively on-chain.
With APOLLO, Bitcoin isn’t just held — it’s actively traded, integrated into DeFi, and accessible permissionlessly on Solana’s high-speed network.
During our whitelisted mainnet phase, APOLLO secured $50M+ in on-chain volume and minted 50.42 $zBTC.
Now, we’re taking the next step forward.
APOLLO MAINNET v1 & zBTC — NOW PUBLIC FOR ALL.
The Future of BTCFi on Solana Starts Here
Bitcoin has always been the foundation of crypto. But a foundation isn’t meant to just sit there — it’s meant to support something bigger.
BTCFi isn’t just about trading; it’s about giving Bitcoin real utility.
That’s what APOLLO is building. More than just a Bitcoin exchange, it’s the infrastructure that makes BTC a fully integrated, on-chain financial asset. A permissionless environment where Bitcoin fuels DeFi, liquidity moves without limits, and builders can push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Bitcoin isn’t just something to hold anymore. It’s something to use.
And APOLLO is where it happens.
What Makes zBTC Different?
Bitcoin, but on-chain. zBTC is Solana-native Bitcoin. Not bridged. Not wrapped.
- Peg 1:1 with Bitcoin
- Permissionless. No KYC/KYB
- On-chain Yield on Solana
BTC liquidity isn’t just coming to Solana — it’s becoming native.
