Maple Finance launches Bitcoin-linked yield product

Maple Finance has launched “Lend + Long,” an on-chain structured yield product that combines treasury yields with Bitcoin upside potential while eliminating downside risks.

This innovative solution is specifically tailored for institutional investors, corporate treasuries, and yield funds, bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance. The product channels deposits into the Maple High Yield Secured Pool, which generates a stable base yield, according to a release shared with crypto.news.

The product is designed to protect institutional investors against the risk of Bitcoin (BTC) underperformance while offering exposure to BTC’s price appreciation..

A portion of the yield generated by the High Yield Secured Pool is used to purchase BTC call options.

“There’s a clear market demand for products that merge on-chain yield with targeted Bitcoin exposure,” said Sid Powell, CEO of Maple Finance. “Lend + Long’ offers a seamless solution, enabling yield generation while positioning for BTC appreciation—without any downside risk.”

This launch represents a significant step forward in expanding DeFi access by offering structured BTC exposure that aligns with institutional risk tolerance.
