Introduction

Optimex is a Bitcoin finance platform offering borrow and earn products with deep liquidity and compelling rates. Using Bitcoin-native multisigs for self-custodial collateralization, users and institutions can access diverse financial markets — DeFi, stablecoins, and traditional loans — while avoiding the risks of wrapped tokens and bridges.

Why It Matters?

The demand for secure, self-custodial Bitcoin finance solutions has been rising rapidly since 2023. The collapse of centralized exchanges has driven significant BTC outflows, underscoring a growing preference among institutions and large holders for non-custodial options that preserve control over their assets. Meanwhile, wrapped Bitcoin solutions like WBTC and custodial rails face centralization risks and increasing regulatory scrutiny as well as geofencing in key markets like the US, limiting their scalability and accessibility. Optimex addresses these challenges by offering a Bitcoin-native platform that unlocks institutional-grade functionality without compromising security or decentralization.
