Bitcoin Ecosystem Expands With Sovryn Launch of Defi App and $2.1M Raise
The use cases for bitcoin (BTC) continue to expand as projects push the limits of how the decentralized currency can be utilized.

The platform is set to launch following completion of a $2.1 million raise led by Greenfield One, Collider Ventures and Monday Capital. It will be hosted on RSK, a Bitcoin-based platform secured by the network’s miners, that introduces smart contracts that were once the preserve of Ethereum.
