This move represents the first phase of a broader collaboration and positions TRON for deeper integration into the mainstream crypto payments ecosystem.</p>
<h2>Direct TRX Purchases Now Available to U.S. MoonPay Users</h2>
<p>The partnership immediately benefits American users, who can now buy TRX seamlessly via MoonPay’s regulated and widely trusted payment platform. As one of the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, TRX is a gateway to the TRON network’s active decentralized finance (DeFi) environment, which sees an average of 8.3 million transactions daily and supports a wide range of dApps and stablecoins.</p>
<p>With TRX listed on more than 130 exchanges and its market cap exceeding $23 billion as of April 2025, the token is a key player in global digital value transfer. MoonPay’s U.S. integration aims to boost both accessibility and participation in TRON’s fast-growing ecosystem.</p>
<h2>Expanding TRON’s DeFi and Stablecoin Ecosystem</h2>
<p>TRON’s network stands out for its role in powering stablecoin transactions, particularly with the USD Tether (USDT). The blockchain now hosts over $70 billion in circulating USDT supply, making it a dominant force in cross-border settlement and payment infrastructure, especially in emerging markets where digital dollars are in high demand.</p>
<p>By bringing TRX to MoonPay’s instant payments platform, the collaboration unlocks new on-ramps for users seeking to enter or interact with TRON’s DeFi, NFT, and Web3 projects. This is especially relevant as the TRON ecosystem continues to record massive user growth—over 303 million total user accounts, more than 10 billion transactions, and $20 billion in total value locked (TVL) as of this spring, according to TRONSCAN.</p>
<h2>Statements from MoonPay and TRON Leadership</h2>
<p>Ivan Soto-Wright, MoonPay’s co-founder and CEO, commented on the partnership:</p>
<blockquote><p>“TRON continues to deliver impressive results across its entire ecosystem – from DeFi and stablecoin leadership to powering some of today’s most innovative platforms. We’re excited to make TRX accessible to our U.S. users, unlocking new opportunities to participate and benefit from TRON’s diverse, fast-growing ecosystem, with more to come in the near future.”</p></blockquote>
<p>TRON DAO’s community spokesperson, Sam Elfarra, echoed this optimism:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Having TRX available for U.S. users on MoonPay’s instant, programmable payments platform is a very positive development for our ecosystem. As a leader in payment and stablecoin solutions, MoonPay’s integration greatly enhances TRON’s trajectory as a global settlement network.”</p></blockquote>
<h2>About TRON DAO and MoonPay</h2>
<p>TRON DAO is a decentralized, community-governed organization dedicated to accelerating the adoption of blockchain and decentralized applications (dApps). Since its founding by Justin Sun in 2017, TRON has consistently expanded its user base and transaction volume, making it a major player in the global blockchain arena.

<p>MoonPay is the world’s leading crypto payment infrastructure provider, offering seamless and secure on-ramps for over 30 million users in 180+ countries. It partners with global brands and crypto innovators to deliver digital value safely and efficiently, while championing user ownership of digital identity and assets.

<h2>What’s Next?</h2>
<p>This strategic alliance is expected to further develop, with MoonPay planning to expand support for more TRON-based tokens and services. As blockchain adoption accelerates and demand for direct, secure digital payments grows, the MoonPay–TRON partnership positions both organizations at the forefront of crypto accessibility and utility—especially for U.S. users seeking to join one of the world’s most active decentralized networks.</p><p>The post <a href="https://cryptocorus.com/moonpay-opens-u-s-access-to-trons-trx-in-strategic-blockchain-alliance/" data-wpel-link="internal">MoonPay Opens U.S. Access to TRON’s TRX in Strategic Blockchain Alliance</a> first appeared on <a href="https://cryptocorus.com" data-wpel-link="internal">Crypto Corus - Your Daily Dose of Crypto Clarity</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Here’s a look at what’s new, how to join, and what’s at stake in this expanded Web3 initiative.</p>
<h2>Second Phase: 1 Billion BC Token Pool and New Ways to Earn</h2>
<p>The second phase of BC.GAME’s mining event began May 1, 2025, offering a massive reward pool that opens up the campaign to all users—no deposit required. Players can participate by wagering on games or inviting new users to the platform. For every $1 wagered, participants earn 1 point; each new user who completes KYC earns the inviter 2,000 points. All points can be exchanged at a fixed rate of 10 points for 1 BC token, and referrers receive an extra 5% bonus based on the activities of their invitees.</p>
<p>Daily rewards are available on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring that active participation is both visible and immediately rewarded. The platform’s transparent airdrop system, using Merkle tree proofs, means every user can verify participation and claim legitimacy of rewards.</p>
<h2>Strengthening Community Through Social Mining</h2>
<p>BC.GAME’s vision is to build a genuinely engaging crypto community, where every action—from gaming to referring friends—contributes to ecosystem growth and is tangibly rewarded. “We want to establish a setting where players feel appreciated for their contributions to the platform’s expansion,” said CEO Jack. The structure of this campaign lowers the entry barrier for new users while energizing loyal participants with ongoing incentives.</p>
<h3>Key Features of Phase 2</h3>
<ul>
<li>1 billion BC total pool, 50 million BC tokens distributed daily.</li>
<li>No deposit required to participate—earn through gameplay and referrals.</li>
<li>Points system: 1 point per $1 wagered, 2,000 points for each referred user (after KYC).</li>
<li>Referrer bonus: 5% of referred user activity.</li>
<li>All participation data verifiable through Merkle tree proof.</li>
<li>BC tokens usable for in-game payments, redemptions, and platform events.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Ongoing Airdrops and Expanding BC Token Utility</h2>
<p>Transparency is a cornerstone of BC.GAME’s approach. The platform previously distributed 400 million BC to the Solana community through an open airdrop, reaching over 100,000 wallets. In phase 2, all airdrop addresses will again be published, ensuring full accountability.</p>
<p>The BC token continues to evolve as the ecosystem’s utility coin, powering payments, rewards, and redemption functions. With its use cases growing across De-Gamble and additional ecosystem features, BC token holders are positioned to benefit as the platform expands.</p>
<h2>About BC.GAME and the BC Token</h2>
<p>BC.GAME, founded in 2017, is a global digital entertainment platform with a strong focus on community and transparency. The platform holds international licenses and is committed to creating a user-driven Web3 experience. BC is the native token, designed to power incentives and unlock new features for users across the growing suite of BC.GAME products and campaigns.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the demand to incorporate Bitcoin into broader blockchain ecosystems accelerates, Bitlayer has taken a pivotal step in shaping the future of Bitcoin-enabled decentralized finance. Through the first-ever implementation of BitVM — a programmable and scalable virtual machine layer for Bitcoin — Bitlayer is establishing new bridges between Bitcoin and leading L1 and L2 networks, unlocking vast liquidity and utility potential.</p>
<h2>Expanding Bitcoin’s Reach Across Leading Chains</h2>
<p>Bitlayer has officially announced strategic partnerships with five prominent blockchain ecosystems — Base, Starknet, Arbitrum, Sonic, and Plume Network. These integrations are designed to inject Bitcoin liquidity into multichain ecosystems that collectively represent tens of billions in fully diluted valuation.</p>
<h3>Base: Enabling Seamless Bitcoin DeFi on EVM Chains</h3>
<p>Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, is now integrated with the Bitlayer BitVM Bridge. This enables Bitcoin holders to bridge BTC using cbBTC, granting access to DeFi protocols throughout the Base ecosystem and beyond. The collaboration facilitates smooth interaction between Bitcoin and EVM-compatible platforms, opening new yield and liquidity opportunities for BTC holders.</p>
<h3>Arbitrum: Bringing Trust-Minimized Bitcoin Access to a Leading DeFi Hub</h3>
<p>Arbitrum, known for its rich DeFi landscape, joins forces with Bitlayer to support Bitcoin bridging in a trust-minimized manner. Through this integration, Bitcoin users can tap into Arbitrum’s high-liquidity platforms while maintaining the integrity and security of the Bitcoin network.</p>
<h3>Starknet: Zero-Knowledge Rollups Meet Bitcoin Liquidity</h3>
<p>Bitlayer’s integration with Starknet, a decentralized ZK-rollup scaling solution, aims to introduce Bitcoin to the realm of zero-knowledge proofs and privacy-focused DeFi. The bridge will allow seamless liquidity flow between Bitcoin and Starknet-native protocols, offering users enhanced scalability and security.</p>
<h3>Plume Network: Powering Real World Assets with Bitcoin</h3>
<p>Plume, a Layer 1 chain purpose-built for Real World Asset finance (RWAFi), is leveraging the Bitlayer BitVM Bridge to bring institutional-grade liquidity to its ecosystem. This partnership positions Bitcoin as a foundational asset for RWA markets, unlocking new avenues for secure, high-value financial products backed by BTC.</p>
<h3>Sonic: Revolutionizing Gaming and Web3 Content with Bitcoin</h3>
<p>Bitlayer’s collaboration with Sonic — the first SVM chain built on Solana — brings Bitcoin to the world of Web3 gaming and content platforms. As the infrastructure behind Web3-native platforms like a decentralized TikTok alternative, Sonic aims to onboard the next billion users with BTC as a key value layer.</p>
<h2>BitVM: A Breakthrough in Bitcoin Programmability</h2>
<p>At the heart of Bitlayer’s expansion is BitVM — a novel architecture that introduces native programmability to Bitcoin without requiring forks or compromising security. With Bitlayer’s BitVM Bridge, users can trustlessly interact with Bitcoin across chains, enabling Bitcoin’s $1.9 trillion liquidity to fuel DeFi across multichain ecosystems.</p>
<h3>Key Use Cases Enabled by BitVM Integration</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Yield Farming and Liquidity Pools:</strong> Bitcoin can be deployed into DeFi protocols such as Aerodrome, Silo, or AAVE, where it earns passive yield through liquidity provision.</li>
<li><strong>Lending and Borrowing:</strong> BTC can be used as collateral to access loans or earn interest by lending to others.</li>
<li><strong>Staking:</strong> Participating in protocol staking with BTC introduces additional incentives and unlocks new yield channels.</li>
</ul>
<p>These use cases mark a significant step forward in activating Bitcoin’s previously dormant potential, making it a productive asset across the broader blockchain economy.</p>
<h2>Looking Ahead: A Unified Bitcoin-Powered Multichain Future</h2>
<p>The debut of BitVM is not just a technical achievement — it represents a philosophical shift in Bitcoin’s role within Web3. Rather than existing in isolation, Bitcoin is now being seamlessly woven into the DeFi fabric of leading blockchain platforms.</p>
<p>With this foundation laid, Bitlayer plans to expand its partnerships to include more chains, DeFi protocols, and native Bitcoin Layer 2 networks. The goal is to establish a robust, trust-minimized ecosystem built around Bitcoin as a programmable, scalable, and interoperable financial asset.</p>
<h2>About Bitlayer</h2>
<p>Bitlayer is a pioneering force in Bitcoin DeFi infrastructure, building the first implementation of BitVM. By combining unmatched security with high-performance smart contracts, Bitlayer is unlocking new frontiers for BTC within multichain DeFi.

The project is setting the stage for a new category of activity on Bitcoin — one that merges decentralized infrastructure with viral internet culture.</p>
<h2>Introducing a Meme-Driven Bitcoin Layer</h2>
<p>Historically, Bitcoin has stood apart from the rapidly evolving world of memecoins that has flourished on chains like Solana and Ethereum. With Bitcoin Pepe, that changes. The project’s core goal is to offer a scalable, meme-centric ecosystem on Bitcoin — one that mirrors the fast-paced, community-fueled dynamics found on Solana while preserving Bitcoin’s foundational security.</p>
<h3>Solving Scalability and Economic Inactivity</h3>
<p>Bitcoin Pepe’s architecture is designed to tackle two major issues: Bitcoin’s limited throughput and the underutilization of its native capital. While BTC functions as a robust store of value, its programmability and application-level activity remain minimal. Bitcoin Pepe wants to change that by building a Layer 2 that encourages speculation, creativity, and community building — all through memes.</p>
<h3>Core Infrastructure: PEP-20, Bridge, and Native DEX</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>PEP-20 Standard:</strong> A new token protocol that allows for seamless creation of memecoins natively on Bitcoin’s Layer 2.</li>
<li><strong>Bitcoin Bridge:</strong> Enables users to move BTC into the Layer 2 environment, unlocking access to over $2 trillion in dormant liquidity.</li>
<li><strong>Native DEX:</strong> A decentralized exchange built specifically for meme tokens, offering fast, low-cost trading while anchoring data securely to the Bitcoin mainnet.</li>
</ul>
<p>This hybrid model — off-chain execution with on-chain finality — aims to create a highly scalable environment for trading while upholding Bitcoin’s security guarantees.</p>
<h2>Why Meme Coins Could Be Bitcoin’s Unexpected Catalyst</h2>
<p>The juxtaposition of Bitcoin’s vast capital reserves and the memecoin sector’s viral energy might seem unlikely — but it could be a powerful match. As institutional interest in BTC grows and retail users continue to pour into speculative assets, Bitcoin Pepe offers a bridge between those two worlds.</p>
<h3>Tokenomics and Presale Structure</h3>
<p>Bitcoin Pepe’s presale is structured across 30 stages, with each stage introducing a 5% price increase — incentivizing early participation. Here’s a breakdown of the token distribution:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>50%:</strong> Public presale, ensuring broad and decentralized token ownership</li>
<li><strong>15%:</strong> Allocated to staking rewards</li>
<li><strong>10%:</strong> Development budget</li>
<li><strong>10%:</strong> Marketing efforts</li>
<li><strong>10%:</strong> Liquidity provisioning</li>
<li><strong>5%:</strong> Treasury for future ecosystem expansion</li>
</ul>
<p>With BPEP tokens priced at $0.0255, the project has already attracted notable interest. As the native gas token on the network, BPEP will power transactions and interactions across Bitcoin Pepe’s Layer 2.</p>
<h2>A New Era for Bitcoin Layer 2s?</h2>
<p>The $3.6 million raised by Bitcoin Pepe signals rising enthusiasm for scaling solutions focused on unlocking new use cases for BTC. While other Bitcoin L2s are focused on speed, programmability, or privacy, Bitcoin Pepe stands out by tapping into cultural momentum. By blending infrastructure innovation with meme-fueled excitement, it could change how developers and users interact with Bitcoin entirely.</p>
<p>With strategic technical milestones on the horizon — including the launch of its bridge, token standard, and DEX — Bitcoin Pepe is positioning itself not just as a meme project, but as a serious entry into the growing ecosystem of Bitcoin-enabled DeFi.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Bitcoin Pepe is an ambitious attempt to reimagine Bitcoin’s potential. By fusing memecoin energy with Bitcoin’s unmatched security, it creates a new narrative: one where Bitcoin isn&#8217;t just digital gold — it’s also a playground for innovation, community, and creative expression. If successful, it could redefine the next growth phase for Bitcoin and bring a wave of new users into its orbit.</p><p>The post <a href="https://cryptocorus.com/new-bitcoin-layer-2-raises-3-6m-targets-meme-coins-as-next-wave-of-growth/" data-wpel-link="internal">New Bitcoin Layer 2 Raises $3.6M, Targets Meme Coins as Next Wave of Growth</a> first appeared on <a href="https://cryptocorus.com" data-wpel-link="internal">Crypto Corus - Your Daily Dose of Crypto Clarity</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
