#美联储降息 【How Big Is the Financial Imagination Space for Bitcoin Native Assets?】



I've been pondering a question recently: assets like BRC-20 tokens and Runes(Runes) in the Bitcoin ecosystem have seen their market caps grow, but their liquidity and financial applications are far less mature compared to the Ethereum ecosystem. What is the fundamental bottleneck behind this?

My observation is—there's a lack of reliable data layer support. Bitcoin's UTXO model and scripting architecture define its uniqueness, but this also means these assets find it difficult to connect directly to general oracles. Without accurate price data sources, it's hard to:

**Unlock Collateral Value**. Imagine BRC-20 tokens or Runes functioning as collateral for loans; users could borrow against these assets instead of just holding them. How important is this for activating market liquidity?

**Support Complex Finance**. Applications like options, insurance, and prediction markets on Layer2 require trustworthy triggers for off-chain events. Without a secure data verification layer, these innovations can't take off.

**Price Discovery Mechanism**. To establish genuine prices on decentralized exchanges, an anti-manipulation, real-time updated price data foundation is essential. This is the cornerstone of liquidity.

The true potential of Bitcoin-native assets hasn't been fully tapped yet. Once the data layer issues are resolved, the entire ecosystem's financialization space will experience explosive growth.

So here's the question—among all Bitcoin chain assets, which category (BRC-20 tokens, Runes, or other NFT assets) most urgently needs this kind of financial infrastructure support?
BTC-1.76%
ETH-0.57%

the oracle bottleneck on bitcoin is real tho... UTXO model's battle-tested for settlement, but it's basically dead weight for any serious defi primitive. runes might have the upside, but without finality guarantees on price feeds? might as well be holding bags in the dark.

The data layer is indeed a bottleneck, but I feel that Runes have a greater potential than BRC-20.

The data layer is indeed the bottleneck, and Runes now seem to be locked up.

The data layer is broken, and all liquidity is fake... I've been analyzing whale wallets, and those large transfers to exchanges don't match the market charts at all. What does that mean? It indicates that someone is manipulating the pricing behind the scenes. The current price discovery mechanism for BRC-20 is a joke; the oracle issue should have been resolved long ago. Instead, it has now become a financial arbitrage point for certain institutions.

Basically, the Bitcoin ecosystem is missing a proper data layer, and this issue should have been resolved a long time ago.

The data layer is the real bottleneck; the poor liquidity of runes is the reason for this.
