Bitcoin DeFi is already here. Samuel Pat (OP_NET) explains at Consensus 2026 Miami
Bitcoin has $1 trillion in market cap sitting idle. The infrastructure to put it to work — natively, without bridges or wrapped tokens — has been the missing piece. OP_NET is building it.Samuel Pat, founder of OP_NET, breaks down how his team is bringing genuine DeFi utility to Bitcoin: a native DEX called Motoswap for peer-to-peer swaps and liquidity, a Bitcoin wallet built for the DeFi era, and an ecosystem being assembled on the world's most trusted chain. We dig into the velocity of money on Bitcoin — why BTC that can move through DeFi protocols creates compounding value versus BTC that just sits — and what it actually takes to build financial infrastructure on a chain that wasn't designed for it.
