Button Labs

Bitcoin-backed DeFi lending, trading and yield

Overview

Button Labs builds a Bitcoin-native DeFi platform that lets Bitcoin holders access decentralized finance tools without surrendering custody. Users can borrow stablecoins against their Bitcoin, trade a range of assets with improved liquidity, and earn yield on their holdings—all while retaining control of their BTC. The system uses trustless vaults and on-chain mechanics to ensure secure, transparent interactions, and aims to unify margin, execution, and analytics in a single front-end terminal. Founded in 2025, Button Labs focuses on turning Bitcoin into productive capital in the crypto and FinTech space.
