Velar, a prominent Bitcoin-based liquidity protocol focused on mobilizing substantial dormant capital within decentralized finance (DeFi) markets, has announced a significant update to its visual identity. This rebranding initiative introduces a bold new logo featuring a distinctive blue and orange colour scheme with an aim that reinforces its dedication towards, and its leadership within, Bitcoin’s fast-growing DeFi industry.
The refreshed branding, marked by the deliberate choice to incorporate Bitcoin’s iconic orange colour, reflects how dynamic new platforms like Velar are carving out their own identity while building on the commanding legacy of the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency.
Velar has emerged as a key player within the Bitcoin DeFi landscape, joining a cohort of cutting-edge platforms that have transitioned from experimental projects to recognized financial entities. The new logo is specifically designed to reflect this enhanced status.
Founded in March 2023, Velar has already made substantial progress in its mission to unlock more than $1 trillion in liquidity. This is being achieved through the development of essential infrastructure designed to bring native decentralized finance functionalities to the leading cryptocurrency.
Through its innovative protocols, Velar provides Bitcoin holders with access to comparable yield-generating opportunities that have been instrumental in the growth of DeFi within the smaller Ethereum ecosystem.
Velar has already made significant contributions to the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem, debuting Dharma , an automated market maker that has the potential to inject billions of dollars of liquidity into Bitcoin markets.
Following which Artha, the first perpetual decentralized exchange platform that’s native to the Bitcoin blockchain, was introduced. It provides traders with up to 10x leverage when trading BTC-based digital assets.
More recently, Velar set itself up to play a key role in Bitcoin’s emerging memecoin industry, launching the MemeStacker platform that allows anyone to launch their own meme-inspired tokens on the Stacks blockchain, backed by the robust security of Bitcoin itself.
“Bitcoin’s rapid evolution has allowed it to become the foundation of a more equitable financial system without international boundaries or intermediaries that everyone can participate in,” said Velar CEO Mithil Thakore. “Velar has been at the forefront of that metamorphosis, and just as the identity of Bitcoin is evolving, so is ours, with a fresh image that reflects how we’re enhancing the value of its ecosystem.”
Despite launching less than two years ago, Velar has dramatically enhanced the utility of Bitcoin and strives to bring even greater value to its ecosystem in the years ahead.
