No Bridges, No Wrapped BTC: How Liquidium Is Giving Bitcoiners Liquidity
Guest: Robin Obermeyer, Co-founder & CEO at Liquidium
Duration: ~49 minutes
đ§ Episode Overview
Most Bitcoin holders donât want to move their BTC off-chain or rely on âwrappedâ tokens just to use DeFi.
Robin Obermeyer, Co-founder and CEO of Liquidium, joins host Lindsey McConaghy to talk about how Liquidium is making Bitcoin work natively across DeFiâno bridges, no wrapped assets, no middlemen.
Robin shares how his early fascination with finance led to building a lending protocol that started with Ordinals and now lets users borrow against real Bitcoin. He explains how Liquidium grew during the bear market, who actually uses BTC-backed loans, and why great user experience, not just code, will define the future of decentralized finance.
They also discuss the upcoming Liquidium.Fi launch, which will let anyone borrow stablecoins on Ethereum and Solana while keeping their Bitcoin safe on-chain.

- The story behind Liquidiumâs first product: lending against Ordinals (NFTs on Bitcoin)
- What makes Liquidium.Fi different, and why no wrapped BTC or bridges are needed
