On Dec. 5th, DeFi loans on Bitcoin-based Liquidium hit a high four months ago of 21 BTC. This was after the asset reached an all-time record high over $100,000.
Onchain data reveals that loans against Runes accounted for 57% of Liquidium’s daily volume, contributing 12 BTC, while Ordinals accounted for the remaining 43%, contributing 9 BTC.
This is a continuation of a trend that has been in place for Liquidium over the past year. It has provided more than 63,000 loans, totaling 3,378 BTC. The platform is dominated by runes, which make up over 50% of all collateral.
Liquidium allows users to borrow Bitcoin in exchange for assets such as Runes (ordinals), Inscriptions (inscriptions), and BRC-20 Tokens. Its non-custodial model employs Discreet Log Contracts (DLC) for secure escrow, ensuring that lenders’ returns are protected, even in default cases.
The rise in Liquidium’s activity mirrors Bitcoin’s increasing mainstream adoption. Analysts point to BTC’s price rally above $100,000 and the introduction of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as key factors driving institutional interest in the ecosystem.
The market has also improved dramatically, as it expects crypto-friendly rules under the Donald Trump administration. This is fueling the optimism that will drive growth in this industry.
Moreover, the platform’s native LIQUIDIUM token is also enjoying an uptrend, according to CoinMarketCap data, which has pushed its value up over 25% during the past week.
The New Features
Liquidium has a number of features planned for the future that will streamline users’ experience. New instant loans will simplify the loan process by allowing borrowers access to funds immediately without needing lender countersignatures.
Custom Loan V2 will be upgraded to a new interface that is similar to a gallery, which allows borrowers and creditors alike the ability customize and create loan offers.
This shift from the traditional model — where only lenders could initiate offers — will make the platform more dynamic and accessible. Users can easily explore loans opportunities by using the intuitive interface, just like browsing through a collection.
Liquidium’s consistent growth and planned advancements position it as a key player in the expanding Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem.
