Crypto startup Hamilton has introduced tokenized US Treasury bonds on Bitcoin layer-2 blockchains, marking a first in the industry. The Hamilton U.S. T-Bills (HUST) will be available on Stacks, Core, and BoB (Build on Bitcoin) Bitcoin layer-2 solutions. The move combines the stability of the Bitcoin network and the reliability of the US dollar. Tokenized real-world assets can now participate in the Web3 economy, with their total value locked reaching $8 billion. The Bitcoin layer-2 Lightning Network was developed to process BTC transfers faster than on layer-1, and also enables smart-contract dependent decentralized finance on the Bitcoin network.
